In mathematics a quiver is a multidigraph. It is a directed graph that allows multiple arrows and loops. The non-mathematical Wikipedia article on the quiver, corresponds to the Spanish article on carcaj o aljaba.
Is there a standard Spanish translation for the mathematical term?
I am not a mathematician, but, according to what I read in the link you provided:
a quiver is a directed graph where loops and multiple arrows between two vertices are allowed, i.e. a multidigraph
So, multidigraph is multigrafo in Spanish.
Hope this helps.
In English, a quiver the container for the collection of arrows. So the vocabulary must come from archery.
Here's a list of Spanish archery terms http://www.lograrco.es/pdf/Diccionario.pdf they suggest carcaj
The spanish experts on quivers are Daniel Labardini Fragoso and Oscar Chacaltana. I wonder what word they use.
