The grid J-function as a neighbor count #
The ordered southwest count GridPoint.I s t and the symmetrized J-function are defined in
JFunction.lean as cardinalities of a filtered product of point sets. This file records their
fiberwise reading: I s t is the sum over the left points of the number of right points strictly
northeast of them, and dually over the right points. Specializing the left (or right) argument to
a singleton turns each J-pairing against a single grid point into a plain count of the strictly
comparable points of the other set.
The fiberwise statements are proved first for the relation-parametric GridPoint.ICount, so the
strict I-pairing here and the weak half of the marking pairing in JFunction/Center.lean share
the same counting API. That companion module records the resulting JCenter singleton formulas.
Main results #
TauCeti.GridPoint.ICount_eq_sum_card_filter,TauCeti.GridPoint.ICount_eq_sum_card_filter_right: an arbitrary ordered relation count as a sum of fiber counts.TauCeti.GridPoint.JNumMixed_eq_sum_singleton_left: an arbitrary mixed numerator as a sum of its singleton-left contributions.TauCeti.GridPoint.I_eq_sum_card_filter,TauCeti.GridPoint.I_eq_sum_card_filter_right: the ordered southwest count as a sum of fiber counts over the left (resp. right) point set.TauCeti.GridPoint.I_singleton_left,TauCeti.GridPoint.I_singleton_right: the ordered southwest count against a single grid point, as the number of strictly northeast (resp. southwest) points of the other set.TauCeti.GridPoint.JNum_singleton_left,TauCeti.GridPoint.JNum_singleton_left_eq_card: the symmetrized numerator against a single point, as the two directed counts and as the single count of strictly comparable points.TauCeti.GridPoint.J_singleton_left,TauCeti.GridPoint.two_mul_J_singleton_left: theJ-pairing against a single point is half the number of strictly comparable points, so twice it is that integer count.

The J-function is the symmetrized northeast/southwest point-pair count of Ozsváth--Stipsicz--
Szabó, Grid Homology for Knots and Links, Chapter 4.3.
The symmetrized numerator of the J-function against a single grid point splits into the two
directed counts: the points of t strictly northeast of the point and the points strictly
southwest of it.
The symmetrized numerator of the J-function against a single grid point is the number of
points of t strictly comparable to it: those either strictly northeast or strictly southwest. The
two directions never overlap, so the two counts combine into a single filter cardinality.
Twice the J-pairing of a single grid point against a point set t is the number of points
of t strictly comparable to it: in particular this pairing is a half-integer whose double is a
natural number.
