Abstract

For an interval finite quiver Q, we introduce a class of flat representations. We classify the indecomposable projective objects in the category rep(Q) of pointwise finite dimensional representations. We show that an object in rep(Q) is projective if and only if it is a direct sum of countably generated flat representations.
