The cellular tree normal form conjecture for quiver roots

Let QQ be a quiver and let α\alpha be a root for QQ. Write cic_i for the coefficients in the polynomial aα(q)=iciqia_\alpha(q)=\sum_i c_iq^i counting absolutely indecomposable representations over finite fields. A cellular tree normal form means a cellular normal form for the indecomposable representations in which the representatives are tree modules.

Cellular tree normal form conjecture. The root α\alpha admits a cellular tree normal form, with cic_i cells of dimension ii.

This conjecture refines Kac's cellular decomposition conjecture by proposing tree modules as a mechanism for constructing the cells. The paper presents it as likely difficult and does not state that it has been resolved.
