Crawley-Boevey and Shaw recently introduced a certain multiplicative analogue of the deformed preprojective algebra, which they called a multiplicative preprojective algebra. In this paper, we study a moduli space of (semi)stable representations of such an algebra (the multiplicative quiver variety), which in fact has many similarities to the quiver variety. We show that there is a complex analytic isomorphism between the nilpotent subvariety of the quiver variety and that of the multiplicative quiver variety (which can be extended to a symplectomorphism between these tubular neighborhoods). We also show that when the quiver is star-shaped, the multiplicative quiver variety parameterizes Simpson's (poly)stable filtered local systems on a punctured Riemann sphere with prescribed filtration type, weight, and associated graded local systems around each puncture.
