Iterated periodicity isomorphisms #
Let C be a category with a shift by an additive monoid A and let G : C ⥤ E be a functor.
An isomorphism α : shiftFunctor C a ⋙ G ≅ G says that G does not see the shift by a.
Two such isomorphisms α (in degree a) and β (in degree b) compose to one in degree
a + b, whose component at X is
G (X⟦a + b⟧) ≅ G (X⟦a⟧⟦b⟧) ≅ G (X⟦a⟧) ≅ G X,
the first map being shiftFunctorAdd' and the other two β at X⟦a⟧ and α at X.
This composition CategoryTheory.Iso.shiftComp is associative, has the isomorphisms coming from
shiftFunctorZero' as two-sided units, and over an additive group every such isomorphism has a
two-sided inverse CategoryTheory.Iso.shiftInv in the opposite degree.
A single periodicity isomorphism φ : shiftFunctor C n ⋙ G ≅ G for an integral shift therefore
has well-defined integral powers φ.periodicityZPow i : shiftFunctor C (n * i) ⋙ G ≅ G, and
these satisfy the cocycle law φ.periodicityZPow_add_hom_app. They are the coherence data
needed to descend G to the orbit category D/[n] (Keller's universal property), where a
morphism X ⟶ Y⟦n * i⟧ is sent to G.map f followed by the i-th power of φ at Y.

The composition of shift-invariance isomorphisms of degrees a and b, in degree
c = a + b. Its component at X is G (X⟦c⟧) ≅ G (X⟦a⟧⟦b⟧) ≅ G (X⟦a⟧) ≅ G X.
Instances For
Composition of shift-invariance isomorphisms is associative.
The shift-invariance isomorphism in a degree a = 0 coming from shiftFunctorZero' is a
left unit for shiftComp.
The shift-invariance isomorphism in a degree b = 0 coming from shiftFunctorZero' is a
right unit for shiftComp.
The inverse of a shift-invariance isomorphism α of degree a, in a degree b with
b + a = 0. Its component at X is G (X⟦b⟧) ≅ G (X⟦b⟧⟦a⟧) ≅ G X.
Instances For
Composition with a shift-invariance isomorphism is cancellable.
The integral powers φ^i : shiftFunctor C (n * i) ⋙ G ≅ G of a periodicity isomorphism
φ : shiftFunctor C n ⋙ G ≅ G, for the composition shiftComp. They are characterised by
periodicityZPow_zero and periodicityZPow_succ, and satisfy the cocycle law

The zeroth power of a periodicity isomorphism is the unit coming from shiftFunctorZero'.
The zeroth power of a periodicity isomorphism, on components.
The power φ^(i + 1) is φ composed with φ^i.
The cocycle law: φ^(i + j) is φ^i composed with φ^j.
The cocycle law of the powers of a periodicity isomorphism, on components.
The first power of a periodicity isomorphism is the isomorphism itself.
The powers of a periodicity isomorphism are the only family of shift-invariance
isomorphisms that starts with the unit and is built by composing with φ.
