QUIVER

Quiver

In mathematics, a quiver is a directed graph where loops and multiple arrows between two vertices are allowed, i.e. a multidigraph. They are commonly used in representation theory: a representation V of a quiver assigns a vector space V to each vertex x of the quiver and a linear map V to each arrow a.
