Projective flags of periodic complexes #

A cyclic cochain complex K has a projective flag when it admits a finite filtration 0 = F₀ ⊆ F₁ ⊆ ⋯ ⊆ Fₘ = K by subcomplexes, split in every degree, whose subquotients have projective terms and zero differential. Choosing the degreewise splittings writes each term as Kⁱ = P₁ⁱ ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ Pₘⁱ with a strictly triangular differential. We record the filtration one step at a time: a complex with a projective flag is either zero, or a degreewise split extension of a complex with a projective quotient carrying zero differential by a complex that already has a projective flag (HasProjectiveFlag).

Projective flags are the periodic analogue of the free flags of Avramov, Buchweitz and Iyengar. Every complex with a projective flag is homotopically projective (HasProjectiveFlag.isHomotopicallyProjective): the layers with zero differential are homotopically projective, and homotopically projective complexes are closed under degreewise split extensions. Its terms are projective (HasProjectiveFlag.projective_X), but projectivity of the terms does not suffice: the dual-number differential module of TauCeti.Algebra.Homology.Periodic.Examples has a free term but no projective flag. Mapping cones of maps from complexes with projective terms and zero differential into complexes with a projective flag again have a projective flag (HasProjectiveFlag.homotopyCofiber).

No positive-period assumption is needed. At period zero, when ZMod 0 is integer indexing, the filtration describes bounded-length iterated extensions of complexes of projectives with zero differential.

A cyclic cochain complex has a projective flag when it is obtained from zero by finitely many extensions, each split in every degree, by complexes with projective terms and zero differential. The successive extensions form a finite filtration 0 = F₀ ⊆ ⋯ ⊆ Fₘ = K by subcomplexes, split in every degree, whose subquotients have projective terms and zero differential.

Instances For

    Having a projective flag is invariant under isomorphism of complexes.

    A complex with projective terms and zero differential has a projective flag of length one.

    The mapping cone of a map from a complex with projective terms and zero differential to a complex with a projective flag has a projective flag.

    The terms of a complex with a projective flag are projective.

    A complex with a projective flag is homotopically projective: every map from it to an acyclic complex is null-homotopic.
