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.
Main results #
TauCeti.LinearMap.IsHomogeneous.anticommute_map_koszulTwist: a homogeneous endomorphism of reduced tensor words anticommutes with the letterwise Koszul involution as soon as the sign(-1)^(q * r)of its degree against the twist parameter is-1.TauCeti.LinearMap.IsHomogeneous.anticommute_map_koszulTwist_one: the degree-one case, at twist parameter one.TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.IsGradedCoderivation.isCoderivation_comp_self_of_isHomogeneous: the square of such a homogeneous graded coderivation is an ordinary coderivation.TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.IsGradedCoderivation.isCoderivation_comp_self_of_isHomogeneous_one: the degree-one case, at twist parameter one.

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.
