The bigrading of fully blocked grid homology #
For a grid diagram with an odd number of components, the fully blocked differential lowers the
(O-Maslov, Alexander) bidegree of every state by (1, 0). So taking the homogeneous part of
bidegree g of a chain sends cycles to cycles and boundaries to boundaries, and descends to a
projection of the fully blocked grid homology GH~ (written $\widetilde{GH}$ in the literature)
onto its bidegree-g piece. These pieces form an internal direct sum, so GH~ is a bigraded
vector space over ZMod 2. Its Poincaré series, the dimension of each piece recorded as a
TauCeti.Bigraded.Series, refines the dimension of GH~: its total dimension is the dimension
of GH~.
By Ozsváth--Stipsicz--Szabó, the fully blocked homology of a grid of size n presenting an
ℓ-component link is the simply blocked homology of the link tensored with n - ℓ copies of the
two-dimensional bigraded space W. So the Poincaré series is the object on which the
⊗ W-stabilization quotient TauCeti.Bigraded.StableSeries acts.

Homogeneous parts of cycles and boundaries #
The homogeneous part of a fully blocked cycle is a cycle.
The homogeneous part of a fully blocked boundary is a boundary.
The homogeneous projections of fully blocked homology #
The projection of fully blocked grid homology onto bidegree g: the class of a cycle goes to
the class of its homogeneous part of bidegree g.
Instances For
The projection onto bidegree g sends the class of a cycle to the class of its homogeneous
part of bidegree g.
The projection onto bidegree g is idempotent.
Projections onto two different bidegrees are orthogonal.
A homology class is the sum of its homogeneous projections over the occupied bidegrees.
The homogeneous pieces #
The bidegree-g piece of fully blocked grid homology: the image of the projection onto
bidegree g. Its elements are the classes of cycles of bidegree g
(mem_bigradedFullyBlockedHomologyPiece_iff_exists).
Instances For
A class lies in the bidegree-g piece exactly when the projection onto bidegree g
fixes it.
The projection onto bidegree g lands in the bidegree-g piece.
A class is homogeneous of bidegree g exactly when it is the class of a cycle of bidegree
g.
The projection onto bidegree g kills the pieces of every other bidegree.
Only the bidegrees occupied by grid states carry homology.
Fully blocked grid homology is bigraded: it is the internal direct sum of its homogeneous pieces.
The internal (O-Maslov, Alexander) grading of fully blocked grid homology.
Instances For
The pieces of the bundled grading are the homogeneous pieces.
The homogeneous components of a class under the bundled grading are its homogeneous projections.
The Poincaré series #
The bigraded Poincaré series of fully blocked grid homology: its coefficient in bidegree g
is the dimension of the bidegree-g piece.
Instances For
The coefficient of the Poincaré series in bidegree g is the dimension of the bidegree-g
piece of fully blocked homology.
The dimension of fully blocked homology is the sum of the dimensions of its pieces.
The total dimension of the Poincaré series is the dimension of fully blocked homology.
A linear equivalence of fully blocked homologies that commutes with the homogeneous projections carries each homogeneous piece onto the piece of the same bidegree.
A linear equivalence of fully blocked homologies that commutes with the homogeneous projections identifies their Poincaré series.
