The graded fully blocked grid complex #

For each Alexander degree, the fully blocked differential restricts to a chain complex indexed by the integer Maslov grading. Its objects are the homogeneous pieces of the grid chain module, and its differential is the restriction of the rectangle-counting differential. Inclusion into the total chain module intertwines the differentials, so square-zero follows from the total complex. This supplies the graded fully blocked complex whose Euler characteristic agrees with the Alexander-graded chain Euler characteristic.

The coefficient field is ZMod 2, as for the total fully blocked differential. The diagram has an odd number of components so that its Alexander grading is integral. The differential lowers Maslov degree by one and preserves Alexander degree.

A fully blocked empty rectangle lowers the bidegree by (1, 0).

A nonzero fully blocked rectangle count from x to y implies G.bidegree y = G.bidegree x - (1, 0).

The total differential of a homogeneous chain is supported in bidegree one lower in Maslov and unchanged in Alexander.

The fully blocked differential sends the homogeneous part of bidegree g of a chain to the part of bidegree g - (1, 0) of its differential.
