          Degeneration order for quivers with self-duality of finite
        representation type.
        
         
        Abstract: We show that the degeneration order between symplectic
        or
         
        orthogonal representations of a symmetric quiver (or quiver with
         
        self-duality) of finite type is induced by the usual
        degeneration
         
        order.  After a quite long introduction on symmetric
        quivers,
         
        introduced by Derksen and Weyman in 2002, I will give the ideas
         
        behind the proof of this result and the possible applications to
        the
        study of linear degenerations of flag varieties of type B,C and
        D.
