Idempotent graded dimensions of graded modules #
Let A be a k-algebra with homogeneous pieces π : β€ β Submodule k A, and let e β π 0 be
an idempotent of degree zero. For a graded A-module M, a morphism restricts degreewise to the
subspaces e β’ Mβ. These restrictions preserve exactness, and hence the Laurent-polynomial-valued
graded dimension
gdim_e(M) = ββ dim_k(e β’ Mβ) qα΅
is additive on short exact sequences of finite-dimensional graded modules. Shifting the grading
by n multiplies this dimension by qβΏ.

The subspaces e β’ Mβ #
Restriction to e β’ Mβ preserves injectivity.
Restriction to e β’ Mβ preserves surjectivity: a preimage can be chosen of degree p.
For an idempotent e of degree zero, e β’ Mβ consists of the elements of Mβ fixed by
e.
Restriction to e β’ Mβ preserves exactness when e is an idempotent of degree zero.
The graded dimension of e β’ M #
A graded module that is finite-dimensional over k has finitely many nonzero subspaces
e β’ Mβ, all finite-dimensional.

Instances For
If a graded module is concentrated in degree zero, the graded dimension of e β’ M is
constant. No idempotence assumption on e is needed.
A nonzero idempotent graded dimension of a degree-zero module has positive
degree-zero dimension. No idempotence assumption on e is needed.
Isomorphic graded modules have the same graded dimension of e β’ M.
Shifting the grading multiplies the graded dimension of e β’ M by a power of q:
gdim_e(M{n}) = qβΏ gdim_e(M).
A nonzero finite-dimensional graded module has nonzero graded dimension, the case e = 1:
some homogeneous piece of M is nonzero.
At q = 1 the graded dimension of e β’ M is the dimension of e β’ M, for e of degree
zero: the subspaces e β’ Mβ form an internal direct sum decomposition of e β’ M. No idempotence
is needed.
A nonzero finite-dimensional graded module is isomorphic to no nontrivial shift of
itself: shifting by n multiplies its nonzero graded dimension by qβΏ.
The graded dimension of e β’ M is additive on short exact sequences of graded modules
when e is an idempotent of degree zero.
