The graded Cartan matrix and the q-Euler matrix #
Let A be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field k, graded by π : β€ β Submodule k A. The
q-Euler form Ο_q pairs Kβ^gr(proj A) with Gβ^gr(mod A), and, when every pair of finite graded
modules is graded Euler-admissible, it also pairs Gβ^gr(mod A) with itself. The two forms are
related by the graded Cartan map c: Ο_q(c x, y) = Ο_q(x, y)
(TauCeti.gradedExtEulerSesquilinear_gradedCartanMap).
In matrices this reads as follows. Write C for the graded Cartan matrix, whose (l, i) entry is
the lth coordinate of c [Pα΅’], and E for the matrix of Ο_q on Gβ^gr(mod A). Since Ο_q is
q-antilinear in its first argument, Cα΄΄ * E is the matrix of the projective/module pairing, where
Cα΄΄ is the transpose of C with q β¦ qβ»ΒΉ applied to every entry.
If the projective basis consists of the classes [A eα΅’] of degree-zero idempotents eα΅’, and the
module basis consists of classes [Sβ±Ό] with gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sβ±Ό) = 0 for i β j, then the
projective/module pairing matrix is diagonal with entries gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sα΅’), so
Cα΄΄ * E = diagonal (fun i β¦ gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sα΅’)). Over a general field, for Sα΅’ the simple head of
A eα΅’ (for instance, eα΅’ a primitive idempotent of a finite-dimensional algebra) concentrated in
degree zero, this entry is the constant dim_k End_A(Sα΅’), the dimension of a division algebra by
Schur, as in the ungraded identity
TauCeti.cartanMatrix_transpose_mul_extEulerMatrix_eq_diagonal. If every finite graded module has a
finite graded-projective resolution, the graded Cartan matrix is invertible
(TauCeti.isUnit_det_gradedCartanMatrix_of_le_admitsFiniteResolution), and therefore
E = (Cα΄΄)β»ΒΉ * diagonal (fun i β¦ gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sα΅’)).
When gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sβ±Ό) = Ξ΄α΅’β±Ό, the projective/module pairing matrix is the identity. Such a
projective basis is, for instance, TauCeti.gradedIndecomposableProjectiveClassBasis for an
exhaustive family of indecomposable A eα΅’. Hence Cα΄΄ * E = 1: the q-Euler matrix of the graded
simples is the inverse of the conjugate transpose of the graded Cartan matrix, and the determinant
of the graded Cartan matrix is a unit of β€[q,qβ»ΒΉ]. These are the graded analogues of
TauCeti.cartanMatrix_transpose_mul_extEulerMatrix_eq_one and
TauCeti.extEulerMatrix_eq_inverseCartanMatrix_transpose.
Euler-admissibility of all pairs of finite graded modules is a genuine hypothesis. For the dual
numbers k[Ρ]/(Ρ²) with Ρ in degree two, the graded Cartan matrix is [1 + q²]
(TauCeti.gradedCartanMatrix_dualNumber), whose determinant is not a unit, so the residue field is
not graded Euler-admissible against itself
(TauCeti.not_isGradedEulerAdmissible_dualNumberGradedResidue).

Matrices #
An entry of the projective/module q-Euler matrix is the projective/module q-Euler form of the corresponding basis vectors.
The conjugate-transposed graded Cartan matrix times the q-Euler matrix is the
projective/module q-Euler matrix. For bases bP of Kβ^gr(proj A) and bM, bM' of
Gβ^gr(mod A), write C for the graded Cartan matrix in bP and bM, and E for the q-Euler
matrix of Gβ^gr(mod A) in bM and bM'. Then (C.map invert)α΅ * E is the matrix of the
projective/module q-Euler form in bP and bM'.
The classes [A eα΅’] and [Sβ±Ό] pair diagonally under the q-Euler form: if
gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sβ±Ό) = 0 for i β j, then in a projective basis of classes [A eα΅’] and a module basis
of classes [Sβ±Ό], the matrix of the projective/module q-Euler form is diagonal with entries
gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sα΅’). Over a general field this entry is the constant dim_k End_A(Sα΅’) when Sα΅’ is
the simple head of A eα΅’ (for instance, eα΅’ a primitive idempotent of a finite-dimensional
algebra) concentrated in degree zero, so it need not be 1.
The general-field graded Cartan/q-Euler identity. Let C be the graded Cartan matrix in a
projective basis of classes [A eα΅’] and a module basis of classes [Sβ±Ό], with gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sβ±Ό) = 0
for i β j, and let E be the q-Euler matrix of the Sα΅’. If every pair of finite graded modules
is graded Euler-admissible, then (C.map invert)α΅ * E is the diagonal matrix of the graded
dimensions gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sα΅’).
The q-Euler matrix in terms of the inverse graded Cartan matrix, over a general field. If
every finite graded module has a finite graded-projective resolution, then in the bases of
TauCeti.gradedCartanMatrix_map_invert_transpose_mul_gradedExtEulerMatrix_eq_diagonal,
E = ((C.map invert)α΅)β»ΒΉ * diagonal (fun i β¦ gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sα΅’)).
The q-Euler characteristic of two simples over a general field: if every finite graded
module has a finite graded-projective resolution, then Ο_q(Sα΅’, Sβ±Ό) is the (i, j) entry of
((C.map invert)α΅)β»ΒΉ times gdim(eβ±Ό β’ Sβ±Ό), in the bases of
TauCeti.gradedCartanMatrix_map_invert_transpose_mul_gradedExtEulerMatrix_eq_diagonal.
The classes [A eα΅’] are dual to the graded simples under the q-Euler form: in a projective
basis consisting of the classes [A eα΅’] and the graded simple-class basis [Sβ±Ό], the matrix of the
projective/module q-Euler form is the identity.
The conjugate-transposed graded Cartan matrix inverts the q-Euler matrix of the graded
simples. Let C be the graded Cartan matrix in a projective basis of classes [A eα΅’] and the
graded simple-class basis [Sβ±Ό], with gdim(eα΅’ β’ Sβ±Ό) = Ξ΄α΅’β±Ό, and let E be the q-Euler matrix of
the graded simples. If every pair of finite graded modules is graded Euler-admissible, then
(C.map invert)α΅ * E = 1.
The q-Euler matrix of the graded simples is the inverse of the conjugate-transposed graded
Cartan matrix: E = ((C.map invert)α΅)β»ΒΉ, in the bases of
TauCeti.gradedCartanMatrix_map_invert_transpose_mul_gradedExtEulerMatrix_eq_one.
The q-Euler characteristic of two graded simples is an entry of the inverse
conjugate-transposed graded Cartan matrix: Ο_q(Sα΅’, Sβ±Ό) is the (i, j) entry of
((C.map invert)α΅)β»ΒΉ, in the bases of
TauCeti.gradedCartanMatrix_map_invert_transpose_mul_gradedExtEulerMatrix_eq_one.
Graded Cartan unimodularity: in the bases of
TauCeti.gradedCartanMatrix_map_invert_transpose_mul_gradedExtEulerMatrix_eq_one, if every pair of

is a unit of β€[q,qβ»ΒΉ].
