The unblocked complex of a stabilized grid as a mapping cone #
Let G be a grid diagram of size n, let s be a column, and let
G' = G.stabilizeX s.castSucc (G.X s).castSucc s be the stabilization splitting the X-marking
of column s, whose new 2 × 2 block is centered at the grid point c = (s.succ, (G.X s).succ)
(see TauCeti.KnotTheory.Grid.Stabilization.Unblocked). Write S = R[V₀, …, V_n] for the
coefficient ring of GC⁻(G').
The grid states of G' split into the center states, those containing c, and the
off-center states (the sets I and N of Ozsváth--Stipsicz--Szabó). The center states are the
states x.insertPoint s.succ (G.X s).succ for x a grid state of G, so as an S-module
GC⁻(G') = (GridState n →₀ S) ⊕ (off-center states →₀ S).
The unblocked differential has no component from off-center states to center states
(unblockedCoefficient_stabilizeX_eq_zero), so the off-center states span a subcomplex, and in
characteristic two GC⁻(G') is the mapping cone of the component of ∂⁻ from the center block to
the off-center block. This file packages that statement with Mathlib's homotopyCofiber.
- The center complex has the grid states of
Gas generators and, byunblockedCoefficient_stabilizeX_insertPoint, the differential ofGC⁻(G)with its variables renamed intoS(stabilizeXCenterDifferential_single_apply). The variable of the newO-marking never occurs, so this isGC⁻(G)with one free variable adjoined. - The off-center complex is the subcomplex spanned by the off-center states.
- The connecting map is the component of
∂⁻from center states to off-center states.
The stabilization invariance of GH⁻ then reduces to comparing the off-center complex and the
connecting map with GC⁻(G) and multiplication by V₁ - V₂; that comparison is not made here.

The complex of center states: the center block of the unblocked complex of the
stabilization, as a one-object complex over R[V₀, …, V_n]. Its generators are the grid states
of G, and its differential is that of GC⁻(G) with the variables renamed
(stabilizeXCenterDifferential_single_apply).

The unblocked complex of an X-stabilization is a mapping cone. The unblocked complex
GC⁻ of the stabilization G.stabilizeX s.castSucc (G.X s).castSucc s is isomorphic to the
mapping cone of the connecting chain map from the center complex (the states containing the
center of the new block) to the off-center complex (the other states).
Instances For
The isomorphism with the mapping cone sends a chain to its center part in the first summand of the cone and to its off-center part in the second.
The inverse isomorphism includes the first summand of the cone as the center states and the second as the off-center states.
