Given a finite dimensional algebra over some algebraically closed field, it is an interesting task to study its associated schemes of representations of a fixed dimension and the action of the corresponding general linear group (see, eg,[3, 4, 6, 12, 14, 15, 18, 2&22, 241 for some results in this direction). Our first result here is that these schemes together with the action of the appropriate general linear group determine the algebra they come from. In fact, it is enough to consider the reduced subschemes in sufftciently high dimensions. Our second result explains the relationship between the schemes of representations of an algebra and its associated Gabriel quiver with relations and, in particular, the relationship between the schemes of representations of two Morita-equivalent algebras. Each connected component of a scheme of representations of some finite dimensional algebra is a libre bundle (with respect to the Zariski-topology) over the smooth subscheme of the semisimple representations having as typical tibre the corresponding bound representations of the Gabriel quiver of the algebra. This shows that also from the geometric point of view the study of the representations of an algebra is equivalent to the study of the bound representations of its Gabriel quiver. We conclude this note with some examples which are mainly concerned with simply connected algebras. In characteristic zero, our first result is a special case of a theorem obtained by Procesi (cf.[ZO]) and the second result (at least with respect to the Ctale topology) follows from Lunas slice theorem [16]. Both proofs use some non-trivial results and depend heavily on the fact that the general linear group is linearly reductive in characteristic zero. On the contrary, our proofs are quite elementary and work in any characteristic. We often adopt the functorial point of view, ie, we identify a scheme with its functor of points. The only topology we are dealing with is the Zariski-topology. 159
