Position coefficients of morphisms between string modules #
A displayed arrow acts as a partial bijection on the position basis of a string word. This file turns naturality of an arbitrary morphism between two string modules into the local coefficient rules used in graph-map theory: coefficients propagate across two matched arrow steps and vanish at an unmatched source or target boundary.
A string word has at most one source position mapping to a fixed target position under a displayed arrow.
Away from a witnessed arrow step, the corresponding target coefficient of the image basis vector is zero.
A displayed-arrow map reads the unique source coefficient at every witnessed target position.
If a target position has no source under a displayed arrow, every arrow image has zero coefficient there.
The coefficient from a source position basis vector to a target position basis vector for a morphism between two string modules.
Instances For
A morphism coefficient propagates across a pair of matched displayed-arrow steps in the source and target strings.
A coefficient vanishes at a target-string boundary when the source-string basis vector crosses the displayed arrow but the target position has no incoming matched step.
A coefficient vanishes at a source-string boundary when its source basis vector has no outgoing displayed-arrow step but the target position does.
