A representation of the one-arrow quiver is an matrix . If , changes of basis put it in the form with an identity block and all other entries zero. Since multiplication by invertible matrices preserves matrix rank,This describes the orbit for every , including the zero orbit. Its dimension isIndeed, choosing its -dimensional image contributes parameters in a Grassmannian, and choosing a surjective map from onto that image contributes . This is a rank orbit of a matrix under left-right multiplication.
