Abstract: We prove a formula for the Grothendieck class of a quiver variety, which generalizes the cohomological component formulas of Knutson, Miller, and Shimozono. Our formula implies that the

-theoretic quiver coefficients have alternating signs and gives an explicit combinatorial formula for these coefficients. We also prove some new variants of the factor sequences conjecture and a conjecture of Knutson, Miller, and Shimozono, which states that their double ratio formula agrees with the original quiver formulas of the author and Fulton. For completeness we include a short proof of the ratio formula.
