When one considers the category $\\textrm{Vect}(\\mathbb{F}_1)$ of vector spaces ``over $\\mathbb{F}_1$'' (the field with one element), one obtains $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representations of a quiver. In this paper, we study representations of a quiver over the field with one element in connection to coefficient quivers. To be precise, we prove that the category $\\textrm{Rep}(Q,\\mathbb{F}_1)$ is equivalent to the (suitably defined) category of coefficient quivers over $Q$. This provides a conceptual way to see Euler characteristics of a class of quiver Grassmannians as the number of ``$\\mathbb{F}_1$-rational points'' of quiver Grassmannians. We generalize techniques originally developed for string and band modules to compute the Euler characteristics of quiver Grassmannians associated to $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representations. These techniques apply to a large class of $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representations, which we call the $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representations with finite nice length: we prove sufficient conditions for an $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representation to have finite nice length, and classify such representations for certain families of quivers. Finally, we explore the Hall algebras associated to $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representations of quivers. We answer the question of how a change in orientation affects the Hall algebra of nilpotent $\\mathbb{F}_1$-representations of a quiver with bounded representation type. We also discuss Hall algebras associated to representations with finite nice length, and compute them for certain families of quivers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-12-13T19:28:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16G20", "05E10", "16T30", "17B35" ], "keywords": [ "quiver grassmannians", "euler characteristics", "coefficient quivers", "finite nice length", "hall algebra" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 50, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
