The graded resolution theorem for resolving subcategories #
Let E be a graded exact category and let P be a resolving property for its underlying exact
structure. If P is stable under the grading shift, then its induced exact structure is graded,
and the inclusion of P into the ambient category induces an isomorphism
K₀^gr(P) ≃ K₀^gr(C)
of modules over ℤ[q,q⁻¹]. Its inverse sends the class of an object to the alternating class of
any finite P-resolution. In particular, shifting an object and its resolution multiplies the
Euler class by q.
The additive equivalence is the general resolution theorem of
TauCeti.ExactStructure.IsResolving.resolutionEquiv. Laurent-linearity follows because its
forward map is induced by the graded conflation-exact inclusion. Thus the common-refinement
argument establishing independence and additivity of the Euler class is inherited unchanged from
the ungraded theorem.
This differs from TauCeti.GradedExactStructure.laurentResolutionEquiv, which assumes that P
consists of projectives and compares it with the full subcategory of objects of finite
P-dimension. Here P is resolving, so every ambient object has a finite P-resolution, and the
comparison is with the whole category.
A conflation-exact functor F into an ungraded exact category with {1} ⋙ F ≅ F, carrying P
into a resolving property of the target, forgets the grading on both sides of this isomorphism;
the resulting square commutes, so the specialization at q = 1 of the graded resolution class of
an object is the resolution class of its image. The termwise form of that statement, for an
arbitrary finite resolution rather than the resolution theorem, is
TauCeti.GradedExactStructure.forgetGrading_foldAlternating.

The graded resolution theorem for a resolving subcategory. If P is resolving for the
underlying exact structure and stable under the grading shift, then inclusion induces an
isomorphism of graded Grothendieck groups as ℤ[q,q⁻¹]-modules. Its inverse is computed by the
Euler class of any finite P-resolution.

The forward map of the graded resolution theorem is induced by the graded conflation-exact inclusion of the resolving subcategory.
The graded resolution equivalence sends the class of a resolving object to its ambient class.
The inverse of the graded resolution equivalence is the Euler class. It sends the class
of an object to the alternating sum [Q₀] - [Q₁] + ⋯ + (-1)ⁿ[Kₙ] of the graded classes of
the terms of any finite P-resolution.
Shift covariance of the graded Euler class. The alternating class of any finite
P-resolution of X{1} is q times the alternating class of any finite P-resolution of X.
The two resolutions need not be related.
Forgetting the grading commutes with the resolution theorems. A conflation-exact functor
F into an ungraded exact category, with {1} ⋙ F ≅ F and carrying the resolving property P
into the resolving property Q, makes the square formed by the graded resolution theorem, the
ungraded resolution theorem and the two maps forgetting the grading commute.
Forgetting the grading of the graded resolution class. The graded Euler class of an
object, specialized at q = 1, is the Euler class of its image: the two inverse resolution
comparisons agree after forgetting the grading.
