Ajay Ramadoss: Quivers and their representations: an introduction Chair: Amritanshu Prasad Abstract: Quivers and their representations play an important role in several areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. The purpose of this talk is to give the audience an introduction to quivers, some algebras associated with them and their representations. Among other things, we hope to state (and time permitting, broadly sketch the proof of) Gabriel's theorem classifying Quivers of finite type. Reference: P.
