Rational quiver representations: tame and wild

Abstract

We study representation finite $K$-rational quivers over fields of characteristic $0$ and their indecomposable representations, exploiting that all Brauer obstructions for descent of representations are trivial in this case. Contrasting the tame case, we give an example of a simple quiver of wild representation type, where we realize every possible Brauer obstruction of a given Galois extension $L/K$ in the category of quiver representations over $L$.
