Quiver varieties are an attractive research topic of many branches of contemporary mathematics - (geometric) representation theory, (hyper)Kähler differential geometry, (symplectic) algebraic geometry and quantum algebra.
In the talk, I will define different types of quiver varieties, along with some interesting examples. Afterwards, I will focus on Nakajima quiver varieties (hyperkähler moduli spaces obtained from framed-double-quiver representations), stating main results on their topology and geometry. If the time permits, I will say a bit about the symplectic topology of them.
