The discrete-to-finite general representation type conjecture

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra. Say that $A$ has discrete general representation type when every irreducible component of each representation variety for $A$ has a dense orbit, and say that $A$ has finite general representation type when there are only finitely many indecomposable irreducible components. Discrete-to-finite general representation type conjecture. If $A$ is of discrete general representation type, then $A$ is of finite general representation type. This is presented as a Brauer--Thrall-style conjecture for general representations, supported by the results of the paper and related work; its status remains open in the supplied text.
