Stabilization invariance of GH⁻ #
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. Write A = R[V₀, …, V_{n-1}] and S = R[V₀, …, V_n] for the coefficient rings of
GC⁻(G) and GC⁻(G'), and σ : S → A for the renaming of variables along s.predAbove, which
merges the two variables V_{s.castSucc} and V_{s.succ} of the new block into V_s.
The stabilization chain map GC⁻(G') ⟶ GC⁻(G) (GridDiagram.stabilizeXMap) is a
quasi-isomorphism of complexes of A-modules (GridDiagram.quasiIso_stabilizeXMap, with
GridDiagram.quasiIso_stabilizeXOffCenterToCenterHom). On chains it is H_I^N of the off-center
part followed by σ on coefficients, so it is even σ-semilinear over S
(GridDiagram.stabilizeXChainMap). This file descends it to a σ-semilinear map
GH⁻(G') → GH⁻(G) on unblocked grid homology (GridDiagram.stabilizeXHomologyMap), sending the
class of a cycle z to the class of its image, and shows that this map is bijective and, for a
diagram with an odd number of components, preserves the Alexander grading.
For a knot grid G, the diagram G' is again a knot grid, and U acts on both homologies as
any one variable. Since σ commutes with the evaluation V_j ↦ U, the map on homology is an
isomorphism of graded R[U]-modules of Alexander degree zero
(GridDiagram.IsKnot.unblockedHomologyIsomorphic_stabilizeX). Only this one stabilization type is
treated here; the other stabilization types and commutation moves are not.

The chain map as a semilinear map #
The chain map of an X-stabilization, as a semilinear map. On a chain c of GC⁻(G')
it is H_I^N of the off-center part of c, followed by renaming every coefficient along
s.predAbove. It is semilinear along that renaming S → A, and its underlying function is the
unique component of stabilizeXMap (stabilizeXMap_f_apply).
Instances For
stabilizeXChainMap renames the coefficients of H_I^N of the off-center part.
stabilizeXChainMap is a chain map: it intertwines the unblocked differentials of G'
and G.
stabilizeXChainMap sends cycles of GC⁻(G') to cycles of GC⁻(G).
Every cycle of GC⁻(G) differs from the image of a cycle of GC⁻(G') by a boundary.
A cycle of GC⁻(G') whose image in GC⁻(G) is a boundary is itself a boundary.
The map on homology #
The map of an X-stabilization on unblocked grid homology, GH⁻(G') → GH⁻(G): the class
of a cycle z goes to the class of stabilizeXChainMap z. It is semilinear along the renaming
S → A along s.predAbove.
Instances For
stabilizeXHomologyMap sends the class of a cycle z to the class of
stabilizeXChainMap z.
Stabilization invariance of GH⁻. The map GH⁻(G') → GH⁻(G) induced by the
stabilization chain map is bijective.
The specified X-stabilization comparison on GH⁻, as an equivalence over the ground ring.
Its forward map is the existing semilinear stabilization homology map.
Instances For
The forward equivalence is the semilinear homology comparison.
The map of an X-stabilization on GH⁻ preserves the Alexander grading. The
stabilization G' of G again has an odd number of components, and a class of GH⁻(G') of
Alexander degree a goes to a class of GH⁻(G) of Alexander degree a.
GH⁻ is invariant under X-stabilization. The stabilization of a knot grid G splitting
the X-marking of column s is a knot grid whose GH⁻ is isomorphic to GH⁻(G) as an
Alexander-graded K[U]-module.
