AbstractWe study the stable category of the graded Cohen–Macaulay modules of the factor algebra of the preprojective algebra associated with an element $w$ of the Coxeter group of a quiver. We show that there exists a silting object $M(\boldsymbol{w})$ of this category associated with each reduced expression $\boldsymbol{w}$ of $w$ and give a sufficient condition on $\boldsymbol{w}$ such that $M(\boldsymbol{w})$ is a tilting object. In particular, the stable category is triangle equivalent to the derived category of the endomorphism algebra of $M(\boldsymbol{w})$. Moreover, we compare it with a triangle equivalence given by Amiot–Reiten–Todorov for a cluster category.
