In this work, we introduce topological representations of a quiver as a system consisting of topological spaces and its relationships determined by the quiver. Such a setting gives a natural connection between topological representations of a quiver and diagrams of topological spaces. Firstly, we investigate the relation between the category of topological representations and that of linear representations of a quiver via (P(varGamma ))-(mathcal {TOP}^o) and (kvarGamma )-Mod, concerning (positively) graded or vertex (positively) graded modules. Secondly, we discuss the homological theory of topological representations of quivers via the (varGamma )-limit functor (lim ^{varGamma }), and use it to define the homology groups of topological representations of quivers via (H _n). It is found that some properties of a quiver can be read from homology groups. Thirdly, we investigate the homotopy theory of topological representations of quivers. We define the homotopy equivalence between two morphisms in ({textbf {Top}}text{- }{} {textbf {Rep}}varGamma ) and show that the parallel Homotopy Axiom also holds for top-representations based on the homotopy equivalence. Last, we obtain the functor (At^{varGamma }) from ({textbf {Top}}text{- }{} {textbf {Rep}}varGamma ) to ({textbf {Top}}) and show that (At^{varGamma }) preserves homotopy equivalence between morphisms. The relationship between the homotopy groups of a top-representation (T, f) and the homotopy groups of (At^{varGamma }(T,f)) is also established.
