Sub-Hodge structures and the strictness of Hodge morphisms #
A subspace of the ambient complex vector space of a pure Hodge structure is a sub-Hodge structure when it is stable under the conjugation and is spanned by its intersections with the Hodge components. Such a subspace inherits a pure Hodge structure of the same weight, namely the ambient filtration intersected with it: opposedness survives because the two complementary ambient steps already cover the subspace componentwise.
The two conditions are equivalent to conjugation stability together with stability under the Hodge projections, and that reformulation is what makes the subobjects of the theory easy to recognise. It is used here to identify the kernel and the image of a morphism of pure Hodge structures as sub-Hodge structures — and, dually, the quotient by a sub-Hodge structure as a pure Hodge structure again, so that the cokernel of a morphism is one — and then to prove that a morphism of pure Hodge structures is strict: its image meets every step of the target filtration exactly in the image of that step,
range f ⊓ F'^p = f (F^p),
and likewise componentwise, range f ⊓ H'^{p,n-p} = f (H^{p,n-p}). The mechanism is that a
morphism intertwines the Hodge projections of source and target, so it is a graded map for the
two Hodge decompositions; strictness is then bookkeeping on degrees.
Dually, a sub-Hodge structure that admits a complementary sub-Hodge structure is cut out by an endomorphism of the Hodge structure itself: an idempotent endomorphism of the ambient complex vector space whose range and kernel are sub-Hodge structures is automatically a morphism, and the Hodge components split along the resulting decomposition.
Statements are given for the conjugation-parametric object HodgeStructureOn and for the
unbundled morphism predicate TauCeti.Hodge.HodgeStructureOn.IsMorphism. The bundled integral
morphisms of TauCeti.Hodge.HodgeStructure.Hom satisfy that predicate, so every result
specialises to them.
These are the subobject companions of Layers L0 and L1 of
TauCetiRoadmap/HodgeStructures/README.md: the kernel and image of a Hodge morphism are the
subobjects a categorical reading of the semisimplicity of polarizable rational Hodge structures
quantifies over, and strictness for a pure structure is the graded shadow of Deligne's strictness
theorem for mixed Hodge structures. Following Peters–Steenbrink, Mixed Hodge Structures, §2.1,
and Voisin, Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry I, §7.1.2.

Sub-Hodge structures #
A sub-Hodge structure of a pure Hodge structure: a complex subspace stable under the conjugation and spanned by its intersections with the Hodge components.
The reverse inequality ⨆ p, U ⊓ hs.piece p ≤ U holds for any subspace, so the second field is
the whole of the spanning condition; see
TauCeti.Hodge.HodgeStructureOn.IsSubstructure.eq_iSup_inf_piece.
The subspace is stable under the conjugation.
The subspace is spanned by its intersections with the Hodge components.
Instances For

A sub-Hodge structure is stable under the Hodge projections.
Conjugation maps a sub-Hodge structure onto itself.
The conjugation induced on a sub-Hodge structure.
Instances For
A filtration step and the complementary conjugate step cover a sub-Hodge structure: each of its Hodge components lies in one of the two.
The pure Hodge structure induced on a sub-Hodge structure: its filtration is the ambient filtration intersected with the subspace, and it is opposed because the ambient components already cover the subspace.
Instances For

Quotients by a sub-Hodge structure #
Conjugating in the quotient by a sub-Hodge structure is conjugating upstairs.
A filtration step meets the sum of the complementary conjugate step with a sub-Hodge structure inside that sub-Hodge structure: this is what makes opposedness descend to the quotient.
The pure Hodge structure induced on the quotient by a sub-Hodge structure: its filtration is the image of the ambient filtration. Opposedness descends because the sub-Hodge structure is itself split by the two complementary ambient steps.
Instances For
The filtration of the quotient Hodge structure is the image of the ambient filtration.
The conjugate filtration of the quotient Hodge structure is the image of the ambient conjugate filtration.
A morphism killing a sub-Hodge structure descends to a morphism from the quotient.
The descended Hodge morphism is the unique one whose composite with the quotient map is the original morphism.
A subspace is a sub-Hodge structure exactly when it is stable under the conjugation and under every Hodge projection.
Sub-Hodge structures are closed under intersection.
Sub-Hodge structures are closed under sum.
Morphisms of pure Hodge structures #
A morphism of pure Hodge structures is graded: it intertwines the Hodge projections of the source and of the target.
Elementwise form of gradedness: the p-th projection of an image is the image of the p-th
projection.
The kernel of a morphism of pure Hodge structures is a sub-Hodge structure.
The image of a morphism of pure Hodge structures is a sub-Hodge structure.
Componentwise strictness. The image of a morphism meets a Hodge component of the target exactly in the image of the corresponding component of the source.
Strictness of a morphism of pure Hodge structures. The image meets a step of the target Hodge filtration exactly in the image of that step of the source filtration.
Conjugate strictness. The image meets a step of the conjugate target filtration exactly in the image of the corresponding step of the source.
The quotient map onto the Hodge structure of a quotient by a sub-Hodge structure is a morphism of pure Hodge structures.
The Hodge components of a quotient by a sub-Hodge structure are the images of the ambient components: the quotient map is strict, so its componentwise strictness identifies them.
Idempotent splittings #
An idempotent endomorphism of the ambient complex vector space whose range and kernel are both sub-Hodge structures is automatically a morphism of pure Hodge structures, so a sub-Hodge structure with a complementary sub-Hodge structure is cut out by an endomorphism of the Hodge structure itself. The Hodge decomposition is then compatible with the splitting: each Hodge component is the sum of its intersections with the two pieces.
An idempotent endomorphism whose range and kernel are sub-Hodge structures maps every Hodge component into itself: on a component, the two summands of a vector are again of that degree.
An idempotent endomorphism whose range and kernel are sub-Hodge structures is a morphism of pure Hodge structures.
The projection onto a sub-Hodge structure along a complementary sub-Hodge structure is a morphism of pure Hodge structures, so a split sub-Hodge structure is the image of an idempotent endomorphism of the Hodge structure.
The Hodge decomposition is compatible with a splitting into sub-Hodge structures: each Hodge component is the sum of its intersections with two complementary sub-Hodge structures.
