The fully blocked commutation homotopy #
Setting every marking variable to zero in the hexagon-counting commutation homotopy H of a
validated column commutation C retains exactly the empty hexagons avoiding every O- and
X-marking. The result is the hexagon map H~ of the fully blocked complex GC~(G), which is the
reduction of H modulo the variables (LinearMap.constantCoeffReduction).
Reducing the two homotopy equations of the unblocked complex modulo the variables gives their
fully blocked versions. Write Φ~ : GC~(G) → GC~(G') and Ψ~ : GC~(G') → GC~(G) for the fully
blocked pentagon maps of C and of its reverse, where G' is the commuted diagram, and H~' for
the fully blocked hexagon map of the reverse commutation. Then
∂~ ∘ H~ + H~ ∘ ∂~ = 1 + Ψ~ ∘ Φ~ and ∂~' ∘ H~' + H~' ∘ ∂~' = 1 + Φ~ ∘ Ψ~,
so Φ~ and Ψ~ are mutually inverse chain homotopy equivalences of the fully blocked complexes.
Reduction modulo the variables needs no identification of the chain modules of G and of the
doubly commuted diagram, since the fully blocked chain module GridChain (ZMod 2) n does not
depend on the diagram.

The fully blocked commutation homotopy: its matrix entries are the constant coefficients of
the hexagon coefficients of the commutation homotopy. It counts the empty hexagons carrying
neither X- nor O-markings, over any commutative coefficient semiring.
Instances For
On a single generator, the fully blocked homotopy reads the constant hexagon coefficient.
Taking constant coefficients commutes with the commutation homotopy.
