Skeletality of a string bound-quiver quotient #
The positive-length path filtration is closed under composition. A morphism between distinct displayed vertices lies in its first step, whereas the identity does not. Thus two distinct displayed vertices cannot become isomorphic in the quotient category.
The subspace of a quotient Hom space spanned by surviving paths of length
at least n. The endpoint order follows the quotient category's
contravariant path convention.
Instances For
A displayed arrow, regarded as a surviving path of length one.
Instances For
A surviving-path basis vector belongs to every Hom tail below its path length.
Between distinct displayed vertices, every quotient morphism has positive path length.
The quotient Hom path filtration is decreasing.
Composition adds lower bounds in the quotient Hom path filtration.
Two distinct displayed arrows remain linearly distinct modulo the length-two path tail.
On an endomorphism space, the Hom path tail is the previously defined endomorphism-ring path tail.
The identity of a displayed quotient vertex does not have positive path length.
The scalar part of an invertible vertex endomorphism is nonzero.
A commuting square with invertible vertex endomorphisms cannot identify two distinct displayed arrows.
Isomorphic displayed vertices of a string quotient are equal.
The quotient category of a string presentation is skeletal.
