Universe-independent finite category deletion #
The category algebra used by the primitive-deletion theorem is formed after
reindexing a finite object type by Fin n. This keeps its objects small
without changing any Hom space. The induced base equivalence transports
finite-dimensional module skeletons and their Auslander--Reiten surplus, so
the checked finite deletion theorem applies to a finite category in an
arbitrary object universe.
A finite category reindexed by a small Fin object type.
Instances For
The literal object equivalence from the small model to the original finite category.
Instances For
Reindexing by Fin is a linear equivalence of base categories.
Instances For
The induced equivalence gives the corresponding equivalence of finite-dimensional module categories.
Instances For
A deletion category of a finite object type again has finitely many objects.
Reindexing preserves finite-dimensional covariant representables.
Endomorphism rings are unchanged by the induced finite reindexing.
Instances For
Local vertex endomorphism rings pass to the finite object model.
Skeletality passes to the finite object model.
A complete finite skeleton supplies the pointwise form of local representation-finiteness.
Local representation-finiteness passes to the finite object model.
Directedness of the finite module category passes to the finite object model.
Literal singleton deletion cannot increase surplus for a finite representation-directed category in an arbitrary object universe.
Equality in literal singleton deletion forces one-dimensional fiber at the deleted object for a finite representation-directed category in an arbitrary object universe.
