The terms of a zigzag braid complex applied to a vertex projective #
Let Z be the zigzag algebra of a finite simple graph and P_j = Z e_j its graded vertex
projective. The braid complex B_i = [U_i ⟶ Z] has the vertex bimodule
U_i = Z e_i ⊗_k e_i Z in cohomological degree -1 and the regular bimodule in degree 0.
Tensoring over Z with P_j extracts the corner e_i Z e_j from the middle:
U_i ⊗_Z P_j ≅ Z e_i ⊗_k e_i Z e_j.
The corner is spanned by e_i and the volume x_i, of internal degrees 0 and 2, when
j = i; by the arrow from j to i, of internal degree 1, when j is adjacent to i; and
it vanishes otherwise. Hence, with M{d}_p = M_{p-d},
U_i ⊗_Z P_i ≅ P_i ⊞ P_i{2}, U_i ⊗_Z P_j ≅ P_i{1} (j adjacent to i),
U_i ⊗_Z P_j = 0 (j ≠ i not adjacent to i), Z ⊗_Z P_j ≅ P_j,
as graded left Z-modules. These are the terms of the image of B_i under - ⊗_Z P_j.
The calculation covers isolated vertices of the public componentwise algebra.

The carrier identification #
Extract the corner e_i Z e_j from the tensor product of the vertex bimodule U_i with the
vertex projective P_j, leaving the left ideal Z e_i as the other factor.
Instances For
On pure tensors, corner extraction multiplies the right ideal factor of U_i into P_j.
The inverse of corner extraction inserts the right generator e_i of the vertex bimodule and
reads the corner element in P_j.
Inserting shifted vertex projectives #
The diagonal corner #
U_i ⊗_Z P_i ≅ P_i ⊞ P_i{2}: the diagonal corner e_i Z e_i is spanned by the vertex
idempotent, of internal degree 0, and the volume, of internal degree 2.
Instances For
The summand P_i of U_i ⊗_Z P_i is inserted along the vertex idempotent of the diagonal
corner.
The summand P_i{2} of U_i ⊗_Z P_i is inserted along the volume of the diagonal corner.
Adjacent corners #
U_i ⊗_Z P_j ≅ P_i{1} for j adjacent to i: the corner e_i Z e_j is spanned by the
arrow from j to i, of internal degree 1.
Instances For
The inverse of the adjacent isomorphism inserts P_i{1} along the arrow from j to i.
Vanishing corners and the regular bimodule #
U_i ⊗_Z P_j = 0 for j ≠ i not adjacent to i: the corner e_i Z e_j vanishes.
Z ⊗_Z P_j ≅ P_j: the regular bimodule acts as the identity on the vertex projective.
Instances For
The identification Z ⊗_Z P_j ≅ P_j is the action of Z on P_j.
