The bigraded fully blocked stabilization factor #
Let G' be the stabilization of a grid diagram G with an odd number of components that splits
the X-marking of column s. The fully blocked stabilization comparison
TauCeti.GridDiagram.fullyBlockedHomologyStabilizeXEquivProd identifies GH~(G') with two
copies of GH~(G). Its first component, the center part, raises the bidegree by (1, 1), and its
second component, the reduced off-center homotopy, preserves the bidegree. Hence it commutes with
the homogeneous projections of fully blocked homology and restricts, in every bidegree g, to an
equivalence
GH~(G')_g ≃ GH~(G)_{g + (1, 1)} × GH~(G)_g.
So GH~(G') ≅ GH~(G) ⊗ W as bigraded vector spaces, with W the two-dimensional space with
generators in bidegrees (0, 0) and (-1, -1): the Poincaré series of fully blocked homology is
multiplied by TauCeti.Bigraded.W. Its class modulo ⊗ W-stabilization is therefore unchanged by
this stabilization. The worked 3 × 3 unknot example, with series W ^ 2, is in
TauCeti.KnotTheory.Grid.SmallGrid.Stabilization.

The stabilization comparison intertwines the homogeneous projections of fully blocked
homology: the center component shifts the bidegree by (1, 1) and the off-center component
preserves it.
The center component of the stabilization comparison sends the bidegree-g piece into the
bidegree-(g + (1, 1)) piece.
The off-center component of the stabilization comparison preserves the bidegree-g
piece.
The bigraded stabilization factor. The fully blocked stabilization comparison identifies
the bidegree-g piece of the homology of the stabilized diagram with the product of the pieces of
bidegrees g + (1, 1) and g of the homology of the original diagram. These are the two summands
of GH~(G) ⊗ W in bidegree g.
Instances For
The first component of the piece equivalence is the center component of the stabilization comparison.
The second component of the piece equivalence is the off-center component of the stabilization comparison.
The dimension of a homogeneous piece of the fully blocked homology of the stabilized diagram
is the sum of the dimensions of the pieces of bidegrees g + (1, 1) and g of the original
homology.
Stabilization multiplies the Poincaré series by W. The Poincaré series of the fully
blocked homology of the stabilization splitting an X-marking is that of the original diagram
times the series W of the stabilization factor.
The class of the Poincaré series of fully blocked homology modulo ⊗ W-stabilization is
unchanged by the stabilization splitting an X-marking.
