The chain map of an X-stabilization #

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'), with S an A-algebra through the renaming of the columns of G into those of G'.

This file assembles the comparison map GC⁻(G') ⟶ GC⁻(G) of complexes of A-modules from the three pieces already available:

On off-center chains the composite stabilizeXMap is H_I^N followed by the evaluation V_{s.castSucc} ↦ V_s that merges the two variables of the new block (map_offCenterInclusion_comp_stabilizeXMap). It vanishes on center chains (map_centerInclusion_comp_stabilizeXMap). Since maps of mapping cones induced by quasi-isomorphisms are quasi-isomorphisms (HomologicalComplex.homotopyCofiber.quasiIso_mapArrowHom), stabilizeXMap is a quasi-isomorphism as soon as H_I^N is (quasiIso_stabilizeXMap). This reduces the stabilization invariance of GH⁻ for this stabilization to the statement that H_I^N is a quasi-isomorphism, which is proved in TauCeti.KnotTheory.Grid.Stabilization.Comparison.

This is the comparison of the stabilized complex with the mapping cone of V₁ - V₂ in Ozsváth--Stipsicz--Szabó, Grid Homology for Knots and Links, Section 5.2, and Manolescu--Ozsváth--Szabó--Thurston, On combinatorial link Floer homology, Section 3.2.

The map of mapping cones induced by H_I^N. The pair (𝟙, H_I^N) maps the connecting map ∂_I^N from the center complex to the off-center complex to multiplication by V_{s.succ} + V_{s.castSucc} on the center complex, and so induces a map from the mapping cone of ∂_I^N, which is GC⁻(G'), to the mapping cone of V_{s.succ} + V_{s.castSucc}.

Instances For

    The map of cones stabilizeXConeMap is a quasi-isomorphism if H_I^N is.

    The chain map of an X-stabilization. The map GC⁻(G') ⟶ GC⁻(G) of complexes of A-modules obtained by presenting GC⁻(G') as the mapping cone of ∂_I^N, applying the map of cones induced by (𝟙, H_I^N), and comparing the mapping cone of V_{s.succ} + V_{s.castSucc} on the center complex with GC⁻(G). The source is GC⁻(G') with scalars restricted to A.

    Instances For

      Stabilization invariance reduces to H_I^N. The chain map GC⁻(G') ⟶ GC⁻(G) of an X-stabilization is a quasi-isomorphism if the component H_I^N of the X-marking homotopy from off-center states to center states is.

      The chain map of an X-stabilization on chains. On a chain c of GC⁻(G'), stabilizeXMap is H_I^N applied to the off-center part of c, followed by renaming every coefficient along s.predAbove, which sends both variables V_{s.castSucc} and V_{s.succ} of the new block to V_s and every other variable V_{s.castSucc.succAbove j} to V_j. The eqToHoms identify the chain modules with the underlying free modules.
