Introduction to quiver varieties -- for ring and representation theoriests

arXiv:1611.10000

Abstract

We review the definition of quiver varieties and their relation to representation theory of Kac-Moody Lie algebras. Target readers are ring and representation theorists. We emphasize important roles of first extension groups of the preprojective algebra associated with a quiver.
