Hilbert series for every orientation of a graph containing a cycle #
For a finite preconnected simple graph containing a cycle, every orientation has exact
vertex Koszul complexes and linear graded projective resolutions. Consequently its
preprojective matrix Hilbert series is the inverse of (1 + X²) I - X A, where A is
the adjacency matrix. The chosen orientation can have sinks: these statements use
orientation-independent injectivity from
TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Quiver.Preprojective.NonTree.
The homogeneous corner dimensions satisfy the resulting second-order recursion.
Reindexing by the vertices of the graph identifies the denominator with the zigzag
graded Cartan matrix at q = -X. This is an identity of formal power series, with no
claim about a finite Ext-Euler pairing. Non-Dynkin trees are not covered here; over a field the
Hilbert series of every connected non-Dynkin graph is

The homogeneous corner dimensions of every orientation of a finite preconnected graph containing a cycle obey the preprojective Hilbert-series recursion. The middle sum counts arrows of the doubled quiver, independently of the direction of the original arrows.
For every orientation of a finite preconnected graph containing a cycle,
((1 + X²) I - X A) H = I, where A counts doubled arrows and H is the matrix
Hilbert series of the preprojective algebra.
The preprojective matrix Hilbert series of every orientation of a finite preconnected
graph containing a cycle is ((1 + X²) I - X A)⁻¹. This formula holds over every field,
including characteristic two.
For every orientation of a finite preconnected graph containing a cycle, the matrix
Hilbert series of its preprojective algebra, indexed by graph vertices, is the inverse
zigzag graded Cartan matrix at q = -X. The orientation may have sinks.
