Abelian categories. Represenations of quivers.
We will introduce the notions of projective and injective objects and define the (higher) extension groups. We will describe projective and injective modules over the path algebra of a quiver and learn to compute the extension groups between objects of these categories. We will characterise basic hereditary algebras as path algebras for quivers with no relations.
Auslander-Reiten theory.
We will describe almost split sequences, define the Aulander-Reiten translation and construct the Auslander-Reiten quiver. We will show exaples of computations of the AR quiver for modules over a quiver and provide a functorial interpretation of the almost split sequences.
Tilting theory.
We will define torsion pairs and tilting objects in the category of the representations of quivers. We will describe the connection between these objects, i.e. the torsion pair assigned to a titling object.
Gabriel's theorem.
We will define the quadratic form of a quiver and prove Gabriel's theorem, which classifies hereditary algebras of finite representation type.

Learning outcomes
A student has an understanding of
1. the concept of an abelian category,
2. the (higher) extension groups and the Yoneda product between these groups,
