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 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
    @[simp]

    The projection onto bidegree g sends the class of a cycle to the class of its homogeneous part of bidegree g.

    @[simp]

    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.

      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.

      @[simp]

      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
        @[simp]

        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
          @[simp]

          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.

          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.
