Strong admissibility #
Strong admissibility restricts periodic domains using the Maslov index of a chosen generator.
For a nonzero periodic domain of nonnegative index 2m, some region must have multiplicity
greater than m. We use the rational half-index because the abstract region system accepts
an arbitrary Euler-characteristic function; on a geometric Heegaard diagram this is the usual
integer-valued condition. In particular, an index-zero periodic domain has both positive and
negative coefficients, so strong admissibility at x implies weak admissibility at x
(TauCeti.HeegaardRegionSystem.WeaklyAdmissibleAt).
Through weak admissibility at the terminal generator y, this makes nonnegative domains from
x to y with fixed basepoint multiplicities and fixed Maslov index finite
(HeegaardRegionSystem.WeaklyAdmissibleAt.finite_setOf_isDomainBetween_basepoint_eq_nonneg_index).
In a singly pointed diagram of a closed surface, strong admissibility at y gives more: the
nonnegative domains from x to y with fixed Maslov index are finite whatever their basepoint
multiplicity. A domain from y to itself is a periodic domain plus n_z copies of the whole
surface Σ, which has Maslov index two, so strong admissibility at y is the statement that
no nonzero nonnegative domain from y to itself has Maslov index zero, and Dickson's lemma turns
this into finiteness. This is the finiteness needed for differentials that count holomorphic
disks of every basepoint multiplicity, recording n_z as a power of a formal variable U.

Strong admissibility at a generator x: every nonzero periodic domain P of nonnegative
Maslov index has a coefficient strictly greater than half its index. The Euler characteristics
of the regions are supplied by χ.
Instances For
Strong admissibility at x means every nonzero periodic domain of nonnegative Maslov
index has a coefficient strictly greater than half its index.
Strong admissibility has the same value at generators joined by a domain: the Maslov index of a periodic domain is independent of the generator within that class.
A strongly admissible diagram at x is weakly admissible at x: an index-zero periodic
domain P must have a coefficient greater than zero, and so must -P.
In a singly pointed diagram of a closed surface of genus n that is strongly admissible at
y, the only nonnegative domain from y to itself of Maslov index zero is zero. Unlike weak
admissibility at y, which only excludes such domains with multiplicity zero at the basepoint,
this excludes them for every basepoint multiplicity.
A singly pointed diagram of a closed surface of genus n is strongly admissible at y
exactly when its only nonnegative domain from y to itself of Maslov index zero is zero. If a
nonzero periodic domain P of index 2m ≥ 0 has every coefficient at most m, then a multiple
of m Σ - P is a nonzero nonnegative domain of index zero from y to itself.
In a singly pointed diagram of a closed surface of genus n that is strongly admissible at
y, only finitely many nonnegative domains connect x to y with prescribed Maslov index m.
Their basepoint multiplicities are not prescribed, in contrast to the finiteness given by weak
admissibility at y
(WeaklyAdmissibleAt.finite_setOf_isDomainBetween_basepoint_eq_nonneg_index);
this is the finiteness behind differentials that record every basepoint multiplicity by a power
of a formal variable.
A singly pointed diagram of a closed surface of genus n is strongly admissible at y
exactly when, for every generator x and Maslov index m, only finitely many nonnegative
domains connect x to y with this Maslov index. Without strong admissibility at y, the
multiples of a nonzero nonnegative domain of index zero from y to itself are infinitely many
such domains.
