RESUMO

This thesis is divided into two parts. ln the first part we present the main ideas and tools of Geometric lnvariant Theory, which is concerned with the following problem: ls it possible to give an algebraic structure to the quotient of an algebraic variety by the action of an algebraic group? Qne of the most important results says that an algebraic quotient exists if we restrict the space to a dense open subset of the original variety (the so-called semi-stable points). The main reason why this is a good result is that there is a numerical criterion (due to Hilbert and Mumford) to decide whether a given point is (semi- )stable. Geometric lnvariant Theory has applications to many areas, especially to moduli problems. The second part of this thesis shows one such application: we construct the moduli space of representations of a quiver. Quivers are just directed graphs, and a representation consists of associating to each vertex a vector space and to each arrow a linear map between the spaces associated to the initial and final vertices of that arrow. There are two reasons why this is an interesting subject: it is a natural generalization of classical linear algebra problems; and it is connected to the study of modules over a finite dimensional algebra over a field
