Bases of zigzag component algebras #
Each connected-component factor has a vertex--arrow--volume basis. On a component with an edge this is the basis of the relation quotient. On a singleton component the vertex and volume vectors are the unit and infinitesimal generator of the dual numbers. In particular the index type is uniform across both cases, and the volume vector at an isolated vertex is not zero.
The construction uses Mathlib's two-coordinate basis and transport of bases along linear equivalences. See Huerfano--Khovanov, A category for the adjoint representation, Section 3, for the singleton convention.
The vertex--arrow--volume basis of one connected-component factor. Singleton factors use
1 and DualNumber.eps for the vertex and volume, respectively.
Instances For
On a component with an edge the component basis maps to the relation-quotient basis.
Coordinates on a component with an edge are the relation-quotient coordinates.
On a singleton component the vertex basis vector maps to the dual-number unit.
On a singleton component the volume basis vector maps to the infinitesimal generator.
The vertex coordinate on a singleton factor is its scalar coefficient.
The volume coordinate on a singleton factor is its infinitesimal coefficient.
