Infinite-dimensional preprojective algebras #
The additive preprojective algebra Π_k(Q) of a finite quiver is presented on the doubled quiver
by the local relators ρ_v, one at each vertex, homogeneous of path length two and lying in the
corner of v. The growth bound
TauCeti.PathAlgebra.not_module_finite_quotient_span_range_of_two_mul_le_sum therefore applies to
it. The arrows of the doubled quiver from i to j are the arrows of Q
between i and j in either direction, so the condition on a nonzero nonnegative weight δ on the
vertices reads
2 δ_i ≤ ∑_j (#(i ⟶ j) + #(j ⟶ i)) δ_j,
that is (2I - A) δ ≤ 0 for the adjacency matrix A of the underlying multigraph of Q, a loop
counting twice. Under it Π_k(Q) is infinite-dimensional over every field k.
For an orientation of a finite simple graph G the condition is 2 δ_i ≤ ∑_{j ∼ i} δ_j. The marks
of an affine simply-laced diagram satisfy it with equality, so the preprojective algebra of every
orientation of a graphical affine diagram is infinite-dimensional. The affine diagrams of types
D_n, E6, E7 and E8 are trees, so all their orientations are acyclic and the oriented-cycle
argument of TauCeti.not_module_finite_preprojectiveAlgebra_of_length_pos does not reach them.
A weight exists as soon as the form of 2I - A is not positive definite: a symmetric matrix with
nonpositive off-diagonal entries and a nonpositive value of its form has a nonzero nonnegative
vector δ with (2I - A) δ ≤ 0 (Matrix.exists_nonneg_mulVec_nonpos_of_dotProduct_mulVec_nonpos).
Twice the Tits form of Q is the form of 2I - A, so Π_k(Q) is infinite-dimensional whenever
the Tits form is not positive definite. For a connected simple graph, a positive definite 2I - A
makes the graph a Dynkin diagram by the classification of finite-type Cartan matrices, so the
preprojective algebra of every orientation of a connected graph which is not a Dynkin diagram is
infinite-dimensional.

Implementation notes #
The oriented quiver of a graph has Finite vertex and arrow types; as in
TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Quiver.Preprojective.GraphOrientation, the Fintype structures its
preprojective algebra needs are supplied by Fintype.ofFinite.

A preprojective algebra whose underlying multigraph carries a suitable weight is
infinite-dimensional. If a nonzero nonnegative weight δ on the vertices of Q satisfies
2 δ_i ≤ ∑_j (#(i ⟶ j) + #(j ⟶ i)) δ_j at every vertex, that is (2I - A) δ ≤ 0 for the adjacency
matrix A of the underlying multigraph, then Π_k(Q) is not a finite-dimensional k-vector
space.
A signless preprojective algebra carrying a suitable weight is infinite-dimensional. If a
nonzero nonnegative weight δ on the vertices of Q satisfies 2 δ_i ≤ ∑_j #(i ⟶ j) δ_j at
every vertex, then the signless preprojective algebra of Q is not a finite-dimensional k-vector
space.
A preprojective algebra whose Tits form is not positive definite is infinite-dimensional.
If the Tits form of the finite quiver Q is not positive definite, then Π_k(Q) is not a
finite-dimensional k-vector space. In particular this holds for every quiver with a loop, since a
loop at i makes the Tits form of the simple dimension vector at i nonpositive.
