Let A be a finite dimensional associative C-algebra with unit element which has only finitely many indecomposable (left) modules, up to isomorphism. We define a Ž-Lie algebra structure on the Z-module L (A) freely generated by the isomorphism classes of indecomposable 1-modules. If () is a Dynkin diagram A, D, E, E, or E, and if C is a quiver with underlying graph Q, the quiver algebra CQ has only finitely many inde-composables, and they are in bijection with the positive roots of the simple C-Lie algebra corresponding to Q (see [4]). We prove that L (CQ) is isomorphic to the positive part of a Z-form of this simple Lie algebra. Part of this article is a different approach to some of the results obtained by Ringel in [12] and by Schofield in [13]; Ringel shows in [12] that it is possible to recover, by means of representation theory only, the bracket of two positive roots of the simple Lie algebra corresponding to Q. More generally, he defines the structure of an associative algebra (called Hall algebra) on the free Z-module generated by the isomorphism classes of A-modules and shows that the free Z-module on the indecomposables is a Lie subalgebra, provided that 1 is a finite dimensional algebra over some field which (i) admits only finitely many indecomposable modules and (ii) is directed (see Section 5 for the definition).
