Abstract

We provide a quiver description for Cherkis bow varieties in arbitrary type. We explain how this generalizes the construction of Nakajima quiver varieties. We give criteria for stability, non-emptiness, smoothness and discuss deformations. In the appendix, we discuss the relation between the quiver description and the original Cherkis' construction of bow varieties.
