We define the concept of an affinized projective variety and show how one can, in principle, obtain q-identities by different ways of computing the Hilbert series of such a variety. We carry out this program for projective varieties associated to quadratic monomial ideals. The resulting identities have applications in describing systems of quasi-particles containing null-states and can be interpreted as alternating sums of quasi-particle Fock space characters.
