I nt r oduc ti on Reflection functors were introduced into the representation theory of quivers by Bernstein, Gelfand and Ponomarev in their work on the 4-subspace problem and on Gabriel's Theorem and there have been several generalisations, see [13],[6],[10] and [2]. The aim of this paper is to present a further extension of the concept and to give some applications to quivers with relations (QWR's). A special case of this theory has been developed by Marmaridis [19] and applied to certain QWR's; indeed some of the methods used in his Thesis [18] may also be regarded as applications of these functors, though they are not presented in that way.Associated with any representation of a quiver is a dimension vector, and the dimension vectors of indecomposable modules are the positive roots of the quadratic form associated to the quiver (see eg [6],[10],[15]). Similar results seem to hold for certain QWR's. Some applications of reflection functors involve the study of the transformations of dimension vectors they induce. It turns out that there are applications of our functors which make use of the analogous transformations which we like to think of as a change of basis for a fixed rootsystem-a tilting of the axes relative to the roots which results in a different subset of roots lying in the positive cone.(An example is considered in some detail in Chapter 4, § 2). For this reason, and because the word'tilt'inflects easily, we call our functors tilting functors or simply tilts.
