Null-homotopic maps factor through elementary disks #

For curved duplexes of the same curvature, the boundary of an odd map factors through the direct sum of a disk and a parity-shifted disk. Conversely, this direct sum is contractible, so every morphism factoring through it is null-homotopic. In particular, a contractible duplex is a retract of the disk sum on its two components. This gives the concrete factorization needed to compare the homotopy quotient with a stable quotient of a split exact category.

The disk sum is functorial (diskSumMap), and the projection diskSumToParityShift from the disk sum onto the parity shift kills the inclusion toDiskSum. The resulting sequence X ⟶ diskSum X ⟶ X[1] splits in both components; it presents the stable suspension of X as its parity shift.

The disk construction and its role in the homotopy category follow Frenkel, Khovanov and Schiffmann, Homological realization of Nakajima varieties and Weyl group actions, Sections 2–3.

              A homotopy boundary factors through the direct sum of two elementary disks.

              The map from the disk sum on the components of X onto the parity shift of X. Together with toDiskSum X it forms a short complex X ⟶ diskSum X ⟶ X[1] which splits in both components.

                  A map is null-homotopic exactly when it factors through the disk sum on its source.
