Graded Cartan coefficients over nonsplitting fields #
Let Sᵢ be an exhaustive family of graded simples concentrated in degree zero, and let eᵢ
be degree-zero idempotents with diagonal, nonzero action on this family. Put
dᵢ = dim_k(eᵢ • (Sᵢ)₀). For every finite graded module M, its simple-basis coefficient
mᵢₚ satisfies
dᵢ mᵢₚ = dim_k(eᵢ • Mₚ).
In particular mᵢₚ is nonnegative and the dimension on the right is divisible by dᵢ.
Applied to a projective A fⱼ, this computes the coefficient of qᵖ in the graded Cartan
matrix as the exact quotient dim_k(eᵢ A fⱼ ∩ 𝒜 p) / dᵢ. The divisor is not assumed to be
one. When Sᵢ is the simple head of A eᵢ, it is the division-endomorphism dimension; the
statements here require only the diagonal idempotent data and do not construct an action of
that division algebra on arbitrary Hom spaces.
These are coefficient computations in the existing simple-class basis, rather than a new definition of a graded Jordan–Hölder multiplicity.

The simple-basis coefficient of a finite graded module, multiplied by the diagonal idempotent dimension, is the dimension of the corresponding homogeneous idempotent summand.
All coefficients of an actual finite graded module in the simple-class basis are nonnegative. The field need not split the simple modules.
