Nilpotence of proper string graph components #
Proper component maps define directed partial-bijection steps on the finite set of positions above each displayed vertex. The proper ideal has no directed position cycle: a cycle would produce an element of the ideal with diagonal coefficient one. Conversely, every nonzero coefficient of a power of an element of the ideal produces a position chain of the same length. Pigeonhole therefore gives a uniform nilpotence bound.
Instances For
A directed position step supported by one proper self-component.
Instances For
A single proper-component step is realized by an element of the proper ideal with coefficient one and with no other nonzero coefficient in that input row.
Row witnesses compose: the product still has coefficient one at the chosen endpoint and a unique nonzero entry in the chosen input row.
The directed relation generated by proper graph components has no cycle above any displayed vertex.
A nonzero coefficient of an element of the proper span is supported by at least one proper component.
A nonzero coefficient of the nth power of an element of the proper
span produces a directed position chain of exactly n steps.
The uniform nilpotence bound for the proper-component ideal: the number of word positions annihilates every element.
Every element of the proper-component ideal is nilpotent, with the
uniform exponent C.length + 1.
