Contractions of modules with a differential #
LinearContraction packages contraction data without side conditions on the homotopy.
LinearSpecialContraction.toLinearContraction forgets the side conditions of a special
contraction. Normalization of weak contractions is developed in
TauCeti.Algebra.Homology.Contraction.Linear.Normalization.
A special contraction of a module M with an endomorphism dM onto a module N with an
endomorphism dN consists of linear maps incl : N → M and proj : M → N commuting with the
endomorphisms, a homotopy h : M → M with
proj ∘ incl = 1, dM h + h dM = 1 - incl ∘ proj,
and the three side conditions h ∘ incl = 0, proj ∘ h = 0, h ∘ h = 0. When dM and dN
square to zero this is the classical strong deformation retract of differential modules. The
square of dN is in any case the compression of the square of dM to the retract
(LinearContraction.dN_comp_dN), so once dM squares to zero a separate requirement
that dN square to zero would be redundant; nothing in the data forces dM itself to square to
zero.
TauCeti.SpecialContraction packages the same notion degreewise, for cochain complexes in a
preadditive category. The present total-module form is the one homological perturbation theory
operates on: the perturbation series inverts an endomorphism of the total module, and the bar
constructions it is applied to are modules with an internal grading, not degreewise objects. The
orientation of the contracting equation, with 1 - incl ∘ proj on the right, is the one fixed by
TauCeti.Contraction; the identity contraction LinearSpecialContraction.refl therefore has zero
homotopy.

The homotopy contracts the complementary idempotent.
Instances For
The idempotent incl ∘ proj of a contraction is the complement of dM h + h dM.
The square of the differential of the retract #
The square of dN is the compression proj ∘ dM² ∘ incl of the square of dM to the
retract.
If dM squares to zero, so does the endomorphism of the retract.
The endomorphism of the retract has the degree of dM when the inclusion and projection have
degree zero, since it is the compression proj ∘ dM ∘ incl.
A special contraction of (M, dM) onto (N, dN): maps incl, proj commuting with
the endomorphisms, with proj ∘ incl = 1, and a homotopy h with dM h + h dM = 1 - incl ∘ proj
satisfying the side conditions h ∘ incl = 0, proj ∘ h = 0 and h ∘ h = 0. When dM squares
to zero (so dN does too, by dN_comp_dN_eq_zero) this is a strong deformation retract of
differential modules; for general endomorphisms it is the analogous contraction data.
