The q-Euler form at q = 1 on Grothendieck groups #
Let C be a k-linear abelian category with a grading-shift autoequivalence e, and let D be
an ungraded k-linear abelian category. Suppose conflation-exact functors forget the grading of
two shift-stable extension-closed subcategories P and Q of C, landing in extension-closed
subcategories P' and Q' of D, and identify the shift with the identity. By
TauCeti.LaurentK0.forgetGrading they induce maps from graded K₀, specialized at q = 1, to
ungraded K₀.
If, for every pair of objects, the bigraded Ext groups assemble into the ungraded Ext groups of
the forgotten pair (TauCeti.IsGradedExtComparison), then the q-Euler form specialized at q = 1
is the ordinary Ext-Euler pairing pulled back along these maps. The object-level identity is
TauCeti.IsGradedExtComparison.gradedExtEulerSpecialized_one_mk_of_mk_of; this file extends it to
all classes. Shift compatibility alone does not give the identity: the comparison isomorphisms
are a genuine hypothesis.
Over a left Noetherian graded algebra, TauCeti.GradedModuleCat.isGradedExtComparison_toModuleCat
supplies the comparison isomorphisms for finitely generated graded modules, so the identity holds
on G₀^gr(mod A) whenever both forms are defined. Euler-admissibility of all pairs of finitely
generated ungraded modules is assumed separately: an ungraded module need not admit a grading, so
it does not follow from the graded hypothesis.
Main results #
TauCeti.gradedExtEulerSpecialized_one_eq_extEulerPairing: under theExtcomparison hypothesis, the q-Euler form atq = 1is the Ext-Euler pairing of the forgotten classes.TauCeti.gradedExtEulerSpecialized_one_eq_extEulerPairing_gradedFiniteModules: the same identity on the Grothendieck groups of finitely generated graded modules over a left Noetherian graded algebra.

Let FP and FQ forget the grading of P and Q, conflation-exactly and compatibly with the
grading shift. If for all objects X of P and Y of Q the bigraded Ext groups of (X, Y)
assemble into the ungraded Ext groups of (FP X, FQ Y), then the q-Euler form specialized at
q = 1 is the Ext-Euler pairing of the classes with their grading forgotten.
The q-Euler form of finitely generated graded modules at q = 1 is the ordinary Ext-Euler
pairing. Over a left Noetherian graded algebra, if every pair of finitely generated graded
modules is graded Euler-admissible and every pair of finitely generated modules is
Euler-admissible, then the q-Euler form on G₀^gr(mod A) specialized at q = 1 is the Ext-Euler
pairing on G₀(mod A) of the classes with their grading forgotten.
