The q-Euler form on graded Grothendieck groups #

Let P and Q be extension-closed, shift-stable full subcategories of a graded abelian category. The preliminary exact-K₀ descent TauCeti.gradedExtEulerPairing makes the graded Ext-Euler characteristic biadditive on their induced exact Grothendieck groups. The shift identities say that the shift acts on this pairing by q⁻¹ in the first variable and by q in the second. Consequently the pairing upgrades to a map on Laurent-module Grothendieck groups which is semilinear for the involution q ↦ q⁻¹ in the first variable and linear in the second.

The two subcategories are allowed to differ: neither symmetry nor Hermitian symmetry is assumed. The coefficient involution is Mathlib's LaurentPolynomial.invert, and the handedness is fixed by the convention [M{1}] = q[M] on TauCeti.LaurentK0.

The q-Euler form on graded Grothendieck groups. It is semilinear in the first variable for the Laurent involution q ↦ q⁻¹ and linear in the second variable. Its value on object classes is the graded Ext-Euler characteristic.

The source and target properties may differ; no symmetry hypothesis is imposed.

    The q-Euler form is the unique Laurent-sesquilinear map with the prescribed values on pairs of object classes.

    The q-Euler form specialized at q = ε, for a unit ε : ℤˣ, that is at q = 1 or q = -1. It is the ℤ-bilinear form on the specializations of the Laurent-module Grothendieck groups of P and Q obtained from TauCeti.gradedExtEulerSesquilinear by evaluating at ε; since ε⁻¹ = ε over ℤ, both arguments are specialized at the same unit.
