Abstract

We investigate representations of *-algebras associated with posets. Unitarizable representations of the corresponding (bound) quivers (which are polystable representations for some appropriately chosen slope function) give rise to representations of these algebras. Considering posets which correspond to unbound quivers this leads to an ADE-classification which describes the unitarization behaviour of their representations. Considering posets which correspond to bound quivers, it is possible to construct unitarizable representations starting with polystable representations of related unbound quivers which can be glued together with a suitable direct sum of simple representations. Finally, we estimate the number of complex parameters parametrizing irreducible unitary non-equivalent representations of the corresponding algebras.
