The fully blocked commutation chain map #

Setting every marking variable to zero in the pentagon-counting map retains exactly the empty pentagons avoiding both kinds of markings. Both terminal-side and initial-side pentagons contribute. The resulting map is linear over the coefficient semiring: the variable permutation in the unblocked map disappears under constant coefficients.

GridDiagram.fullyBlockedCommutationMap_mapRange_constantCoeff expresses this specialization on arbitrary chains. Over ZMod 2, GridDiagram.fullyBlockedCommutationMap_comp_fullyBlockedDifferential proves that it is a chain map between the fully blocked complexes, and GridDiagram.fullyBlockedCommutationMap_reverse_comp_fullyBlockedDifferential does the same for the reverse commutation. The hexagon homotopies relating the two maps are in TauCeti.KnotTheory.Grid.Commutation.Homotopy.FullyBlocked.

@[simp]

A terminal-side pentagon contributes a constant term precisely when it covers no O-marking. Its X-avoidance is imposed separately by membership in pentagons.

An initial-side pentagon contributes a constant term precisely when it covers no O-marking.

@[simp]

The constant coefficient counts the pentagons of both kinds which also avoid every O-marking. The counted sets already impose emptiness and avoidance of all X-markings.

The fully blocked commutation map: its matrix entries are the constant coefficients of the unblocked pentagon coefficients. It counts empty pentagons carrying neither X nor O markings, over any commutative coefficient semiring.

Instances For

    On a single generator, the fully blocked map reads the constant pentagon coefficient.

    @[simp]

    On an arbitrary chain, the fully blocked map multiplies by the matrix of constant pentagon coefficients.

    @[simp]

    Taking constant coefficients commutes with the commutation map. In particular, the semilinear variable swap of the unblocked map becomes an ordinary linear map after blocking.

    The fully blocked pentagon map of the reverse commutation intertwines the fully blocked differentials of the commuted diagram and of G.
