Kac's cellular decomposition conjecture for indecomposable quiver representations

Fix a quiver QQ and a dimension vector α\alpha, and write

aα(q)=i=0nciqia_\alpha(q)=\sum_{i=0}^n c_iq^i

for the polynomial counting absolutely indecomposable representations over finite fields. Consider the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable representations of QQ of dimension vector α\alpha.

Kac's cellular decomposition conjecture. This set admits a cellular decomposition by locally closed subvarieties isomorphic to affine spaces, with cic_i equal to the number of cells of dimension ii.

The conjecture is a major motivation for constructing explicit cells of indecomposable representations. The paper notes that the set of isomorphism classes need not have a canonical variety structure and may depend on the base field, so the assertion is inspirational rather than literal in that generality.
