The zigzag braid complexes on the graded Grothendieck group #

The braid complex B_i = [U_i ⟶ Z] of the zigzag algebra Z, with U_i = P_i ⊗_k e_i Z in cohomological degree -1, sends the graded vertex projective P_j to a two-term complex of finite graded projectives. Its Euler class in the Laurent Grothendieck group K₀^gr(proj Z) is

[Z ⊗_Z P_j] - [U_i ⊗_Z P_j] = [P_j] - C_{ij}(q) [P_i],

where C_{ij}(q) is the graded Cartan entry: 1 + q² on the diagonal, q on edges and 0 otherwise. This is the deformed simple reflection SimpleGraph.deformedReflection at the unit q, written in the basis of vertex-projective classes. Hence the Artin group of the graph acts on K₀^gr(proj Z) with the standard generator σ_i acting by the Euler class of B_i, and this action is conjugate, through the vertex-projective coordinates, to the deformed reflection representation SimpleGraph.deformedReflectionRepresentation. At q = -1 the deformed reflections are the standard simple reflections of the graph Cartan matrix 2I - A (SimpleGraph.deformedReflection_neg_one).

Their classes #

[U_i ⊗_Z P_j] = C_{ij}(q) [P_i] in K₀^gr(proj Z), where C_{ij}(q) is the deformed Cartan entry 1 + q², q or 0 at q = T 1.

The Artin group action #

The action of the graph's Artin group on K₀^gr(proj Z). The standard generator at i acts by the deformed simple reflection at q, in the basis of vertex-projective classes; by TauCeti.zigzagBraidK0Action_gen_zigzagAlgebraGradedProjectiveClass it sends [P_j] to the Euler class of the braid complex B_i ⊗_Z P_j.

Instances For

    The standard generator at i acts by the deformed reflection at q in vertex-projective coordinates.

    The braid complex acts on K₀^gr(proj Z) by its Euler class: the standard generator at i sends [P_j] to [Z ⊗_Z P_j] - [U_i ⊗_Z P_j], the Euler class of B_i ⊗_Z P_j, whose terms sit in cohomological degrees 0 and -1.
