TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.TensorCoalgebra.OddSquare

Odd squares of homogeneous tensor-coalgebra coderivations #

A homogeneous endomorphism of the reduced tensor coalgebra whose degree r and twist parameter q satisfy (-1)^(q * r) = -1 is odd: it anticommutes with the letterwise Koszul involution of parameter q. Consequently the square of such a graded coderivation is an ordinary coderivation, whose vanishing can then be checked with the existing Taylor-component criterion. The degree-one case q = r = 1 is the one the A∞ sign audit consumes.

Homogeneity is genuinely needed: TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.IsGradedCoderivation G q is the q-twisted co-Leibniz identity alone and does not by itself constrain degrees. The oddness comes from TauCeti.LinearMap.IsHomogeneous.map_koszulTwist_comp, which turns the usual calculation on a homogeneous word into an equality of endomorphisms.

A homogeneous endomorphism of degree r anticommutes with the letterwise Koszul twist of parameter q, provided the sign (-1)^(q * r) it commutes past that twist with is -1.

A homogeneous endomorphism of degree one anticommutes with the letterwise Koszul twist of parameter one.

The square of a homogeneous graded coderivation is an ordinary coderivation as soon as the sign (-1)^(q * r) of its degree r against the twist parameter q is -1: homogeneity then supplies the anticommutation with the Koszul twist that cancels the two mixed terms in the co-Leibniz expansion. A caller holding homogeneity of the letter component instead obtains hhom from TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.IsGradedCoderivation.isHomogeneous.

The square of a homogeneous degree-one graded coderivation is an ordinary coderivation.
