Hexagons of a column commutation, and the commutation homotopy #
Let b = finRotate n a and draw a column commutation of G as in Commutation/Pentagon.lean:
the vertical grid line β with index b is replaced by a curve γ meeting it in two points. At
the turn point, in square row t = C.turnRow, the curve γ crosses from the left of β to its
right going upwards; at the other point, in square row t' = C.oppositeTurnRow, it crosses back.
Going up from t' to t the curve γ runs to the left of β, and this bigon contains both
markings of column a; going up from t to t' it runs to the right of β, and this bigon
contains both markings of column b.
The commutation map Φ : GC⁻(G) → GC⁻(G') counts pentagons turning at t, and the reverse map
Ψ : GC⁻(G') → GC⁻(G) counts pentagons turning at t'. The composite Ψ ∘ Φ is compared with
the identity by a homotopy H : GC⁻(G) → GC⁻(G) counting hexagons: embedded disks from a state
x of G to a state y of G bounded by arcs of horizontal circles, vertical circles, β and
γ, with convex corners at the four points of x and y and at both intersection points of β
and γ.
Convexity at the two intersection points leaves two kinds of hexagon.
- A hexagon whose terminal side runs up
βtot', upγtotand upβagain (TauCeti.GridHexagonBetween). It is the oriented rectangle fromxtoywith terminal sideb, with the bigon fromt'totcut away; its rows must contain both intersection points,t'belowt. - A hexagon whose initial side runs up
βtot, upγtot'and upβagain (TauCeti.GridInitialHexagonBetween). It is the oriented rectangle fromxtoywith initial sideb, with the bigon fromttot'cut away; its rows must containtbelowt'.
Both shapes are parametrised by the column a and the square rows s, s' of the lower and upper
ends of the bigon that is cut away. The interior lattice points of a hexagon are those of the
rectangle, so emptiness is GridRectangleBetween.IsEmpty. The markings a hexagon carries are those
of the rectangle except in the one column of the rectangle next to β: a hexagon of the first kind
carries no marking of column a, since the bigon it cuts away contains them all, and one of the
second kind carries no marking of column b. Its weight is the product of the variables of the
O-markings it carries; unlike for pentagons both states lie in G, so no renaming of variables
occurs.
Both kinds are needed, just as both kinds of pentagon are. For example, take the 5 × 5 diagram
with O = (0, 3, 2, 1, 4) and X = (3, 0, 4, 2, 1), commute columns 2 and 3, and use turn row
4 with the other intersection in row 2. Counting only hexagons of the first kind, the identity
state has diagonal coefficient 1 in ∂⁻ ∘ H + H ∘ ∂⁻ + 1 + Ψ ∘ Φ over 𝔽₂; counting both kinds
it vanishes.
GridDiagram.hexagonMap and GridDiagram.initialHexagonMap count the empty hexagons of the two
kinds carrying no X-marking, and GridDiagram.commutationHomotopy is their sum, the map H
above. That ∂⁻ ∘ H + H ∘ ∂⁻ is the identity plus Ψ ∘ Φ is not proved here;
GridDiagram.unblockedDifferential_commutationHomotopy_add_eq_iff writes it as an identity
between matrix coefficients, and GridDiagram.unblockedDifferential_commutationHomotopy_add_eq
proves it.

combinatorial link Floer homology, Section 3.1 (arXiv:math/0610559), and of the homotopy of

The combinatorial shape of a hexagon whose terminal side turns at both intersection points, for
columns a and finRotate n a, cutting away the bigon from square row s up to square row s',
from a grid state x to a grid state y.
It is recorded by the oriented rectangle from x to y with the same corners, whose terminal side
is the grid line finRotate n a; the rows that side spans must contain the lower intersection row
s and, above it, the upper intersection row s'. The shape records only the corners and the two
turn rows. Its coveredSquares describe the squares of the hexagon when
GridDiagram.ColumnCommutationData places the column-a markings in the bigon; the crossing change
counts the same shapes for interleaving columns, with crossingCoveredSquares instead.
The terminal side lies on the grid line between column
aand the next column.The lower intersection point lies on the terminal side.
The upper intersection point lies on the terminal side, above the lower one.

The hexagon agrees with the rectangle away from the bigon it cuts away, which lies in column a
between the rows s and s'. When the column-a markings lie in that bigon, as
GridDiagram.ColumnCommutationData guarantees, the hexagon carries none of them, so only the
marked squares matter and these are the correct squares for them.
