Continuous quivers of type A (I) Foundations

Abstract

We generalize type $A$ quivers to continuous type $A$ quivers and prove initial results about pointwise finite-dimensional (pwf) representations. We classify the indecomosable pwf representations and provide a decomposition theorem, recovering results of Botnan and Crawley-Boevey. We also classify the indecomposable pwf projective representations. Finally, we prove that many of the properties of finite-dimensional type $A_n$ representations are present in finitely generated pwf representations. This is the self-contained foundational part of a series of works to study a generalization of continuous clusters categories and their relationship to other type $A$ cluster structures.
