Linear resolutions over a zigzag algebra #
Let Z be the zigzag relation quotient of a finite simple graph G without isolated vertices,
graded by path length, with vertex idempotents e_u, arrows a_d and volume classes x_u.
Graded projectives generated in one degree #
Let P be a graded Z-module whose underlying module is projective and which is generated by
its homogeneous piece P_n. Then P is determined degreewise by the vertex parts e_u • P_n:
e_u • P_n ≅ e_u • P_{n+2}, x ↦ x_u • x,
⨁_{w ∼ u} e_w • P_n ≅ e_u • P_{n+1}, (x_w)_w ↦ ∑_w a_{w → u} • x_w,
and P vanishes in all other degrees. The maps are onto because Z is spanned by idempotents,
arrows and volume classes. The volume map is injective because P is a direct summand of a free
module: an element x of e_u • P_n with x_u • x = 0 has all its coefficients in the radical,
so it lies in Z₊ P, which has no component in the lowest degree n. Multiplying by reverse
arrows reduces the injectivity of the arrow map to that of the volume maps.
Linear resolutions #
Let M be a finite-dimensional graded Z-module concentrated in degree 0, and let
⋯ ⟶ X₁ ⟶ X₀ ⟶ M be a linear graded projective resolution, so X_n is generated in degree n.
Write m_n(u) = dim_k (e_u • (X_n)_n), the multiplicity of the shifted projective P_u{n} in
X_n. In internal degree p only X_p, X_{p-1} and X_{p-2} are nonzero, so the resolution
restricts to short exact sequences 0 ⟶ e_u (X_p)_p ⟶ e_u (X_{p-1})_p ⟶ e_u (X_{p-2})_p ⟶ 0.
Counting dimensions with the description above gives the recursion
m_{p+2}(u) + m_p(u) = ∑_{w ∼ u} m_{p+1}(w), m_1(u) = ∑_{w ∼ u} m_0(w), m_0(u) = dim e_u M,
that is, C_G(-X) m(X) = dim M for the graded Cartan matrix C_G(q) = (1 + q²) I + q A_G
(TauCeti.zigzagGradedCartanMatrix_map_aeval_neg_X_mulVec_eq). For the graded simple module
S_v this says that the multiplicities of any linear resolution of S_v are the entries of the
column v of C_G(-X)⁻¹ (TauCeti.coeff_inv_zigzagGradedCartanMatrix_map_aeval_neg_X_eq). In
particular, if S_v has a linear resolution then every coefficient in that column is
nonnegative: nonnegativity of C_G(-X)⁻¹ is a necessary condition for the zigzag algebra to be
Koszul.

Graded projectives generated in one degree #
The volume map #
Degree n + 2 of a graded projective generated in degree n. If P is a graded
projective over the zigzag algebra generated in degree n, then multiplication by the volume class
identifies e_u • P_n with e_u • P_{n+2}.
The arrow map #
Degree n + 1 of a graded projective generated in degree n. If P is a graded
projective over the zigzag algebra generated in degree n, with finite-dimensional vertex parts
e_w • P_n, then the arrows into u identify e_u • P_{n+1} with ⨁_{w ∼ u} e_w • P_n.
Linear resolutions #
Degree zero of a linear resolution: the augmentation identifies the lowest vertex parts of
X₀ with those of the resolved module.
Degree one of a linear resolution of a module M with e_u • M₁ = 0: the multiplicity
of P_u{1} in X₁ is the sum of the multiplicities in X₀ over the neighbours of u.
The multiplicity recursion of a linear resolution. Let X be a linear graded projective
resolution of a finite-dimensional graded module M over the zigzag algebra of a finite graph
without isolated vertices, and let u be a vertex with e_u • M₂ = 0. Then the multiplicities
m_n(u) = dim_k (e_u • (X_n)_n) of the shifted projectives P_u{n} in X_n satisfy
m_{p+2}(u) + m_p(u) = ∑_{w ∼ u} m_{p+1}(w).
The inverse graded Cartan matrix #
The multiplicities of a linear resolution invert the graded Cartan matrix. Let X be a
linear graded projective resolution of a finite-dimensional graded module M concentrated in
degree 0 over the zigzag algebra of a finite graph without isolated vertices, and let
m_u(X) = ∑_n dim_k (e_u • (X_n)_n) Xⁿ record the multiplicities of the shifted projectives
P_u{n} in X_n. Then C_G(-X) m(X) is the constant vector (dim_k (e_u • M))_u, for the graded
Cartan matrix C_G(q) = (1 + q²) I + q A_G.
Linear resolutions of the graded simples #
The multiplicities of a linear resolution of a graded simple. Let G be a finite graph
without isolated vertices and S_v the graded simple module of its zigzag algebra at v. For any
linear graded projective resolution X of S_v, the multiplicity dim_k (e_u • (X_n)_n) of the
shifted projective P_u{n} in X_n is the coefficient of Xⁿ in the entry (u, v) of the
inverse C_G(-X)⁻¹ of the graded Cartan matrix C_G(q) = (1 + q²) I + q A_G.
Linearly resolved simples give nonnegative inverse Cartan coefficients. If the graded
simple module S_v of the zigzag algebra of a finite graph without isolated vertices has a linear
graded projective resolution, then every coefficient of the column v of the inverse
C_G(-X)⁻¹ of the graded Cartan matrix is nonnegative.
