Abstract

The famous pentagon identity for quantum dilogarithms has a generalization for every Dynkin quiver, due to Reineke. A more advanced generalization is associated with a pair of alternating Dynkin quivers, due to Keller. The description and proof of Keller's identities involves cluster algebras and cluster categories, and the statement of the identity is implicit. In this paper we describe Keller's identities explicitly, and prove them by a dimension counting argument. Namely, we consider quiver representations Repγ\boldsymbol{\mathrm{Rep}}_\gamma together with a superpotential function WγW_\gamma, and calculate the Betti numbers of the equivariant WγW_\gamma rapid decay cohomology algebra of Repγ\boldsymbol{\mathrm{Rep}}_\gamma in two different ways corresponding to two natural stratifications of Repγ\boldsymbol{\mathrm{Rep}}_\gamma. This approach is suggested by Kontsevich and Soibelman in relation with the Cohomological Hall Algebra of quivers, and the associated Donaldson-Thomas invariants.
