Numerical quotients of the Ext-Euler pairing #

The Ext-Euler characteristic descends to a biadditive pairing on the exact Grothendieck groups of two extension-closed subcategories. This file views that pairing as an integer-bilinear map and applies the separate left and right numerical-quotient construction to it.

The two subcategories are deliberately kept independent: the Ext-Euler pairing is generally nonsymmetric, so its left and right radicals can differ. The generic numerical-quotient API supplies the quotient maps, one-sided pairings, functoriality, and the nondegenerate pairing; this file adds the Ext-Euler names and the computation rules needed by its users.

Main results #

This is the ordinary Ext-Euler specialization in Layer 7 of the Grothendieck-groups, Cartan-maps, and Euler-forms roadmap. The Laurent/sesquilinear specialization belongs after the graded Ext-Euler pairing has descended to graded K₀.

References #

The Ext-Euler construction follows Weibel, An Introduction to Homological Algebra, Sections 2.4--2.7, and its nonsymmetric numerical quotient follows Dancso--Licata, Koszul algebras and flow lattices, Section 3.1. No formalization is copied or vendored here; the two constructions are combined through the existing Tau Ceti APIs.
