Koszul complexes of preprojective algebras of graphs which are not trees #
Let Π = Π_k(Q) be the preprojective algebra of a finite quiver over a commutative ring k. The
Koszul complex
0 ⟶ e_v Π ⟶ ⨁_{b : i ⟶ v} e_i Π ⟶ e_v Π ⟶ S_v ⟶ 0
of TauCeti.RepresentationTheory.Quiver.Preprojective.Koszul.Complex is exact at its left end as
soon as Q has no sinks (TauCeti.forall_preprojectiveMk_ofArrow_reverse_mul_eq_zero_iff). This
file removes the dependence on the orientation. Since Π does not depend on the orientation up to
isomorphism (TauCeti.reorientPreprojectiveAlgebraEquiv), it is enough that some reorientation
of Q has no sinks; the isomorphism carries every doubled arrow to a doubled arrow up to sign, so
it carries the left-hand map of the Koszul complex of Q to that of the reorientation.
A preconnected simple graph which is not acyclic has an orientation without sinks
(SimpleGraph.Preconnected.exists_forall_adj_and_apply_apply_ne_of_not_isAcyclic). Hence for every
orientation of such a graph, over every commutative ring, the Koszul complex of every vertex module
is exact at its left end, so it is a projective resolution of the vertex module. This covers the
cycles A~ₙ (n ≥ 2) and every connected graph with more edges than a spanning tree, all of which
are non-Dynkin; the non-Dynkin trees, such as D~ₙ and E₆~, E₇~, E₈~, are not covered. Over
a field, every connected non-Dynkin graph, trees included, is covered by
TauCeti.forall_preprojectiveMk_ofArrow_reverse_mul_eq_zero_iff_of_not_exists_dynkinType_iso.
The shifted graded Koszul complex is consequently a linear graded projective resolution
of each right vertex module, over the ordinary opposite algebra.

Exactness of the Koszul complex at its left end, for a quiver with a reorientation without
sinks. If turning around the arrows of Q which σ labels true leaves no vertex without an
outgoing arrow, and y = e_v y in Π_k(Q), then b* y = 0 for every arrow b of the doubled
quiver into v exactly when y = 0.
Exactness of the Koszul complex at its left end, for a graph which is not a tree. Let G be
a finite preconnected simple graph which is not acyclic, and o any orientation of G. If
y = e_v y in the preprojective algebra of o over a commutative ring k, then b* y = 0 for
every arrow b of the doubled quiver into v exactly when y = 0: the left-hand map of the
Koszul complex of TauCeti.sum_preprojectiveMk_ofArrow_mul_eq_zero_iff is injective.
For every orientation of a finite preconnected graph containing a cycle, the left Koszul differential at each vertex is injective. The chosen orientation may have sinks.
The right vertex module of every orientation of a finite preconnected graph containing a cycle has a linear graded Koszul resolution. Its projective terms are generated in internal degrees zero, one and two, respectively, and all later terms vanish.
