The nonprojective middle-term bound of a finite tau-category #
For a nonprojective endpoint, betaAt counts the nonprojective
indecomposable occurrences in its chosen right almost-split middle term.
beta is the maximum of these counts. Both definitions retain repeated
summands.
Number of nonprojective indecomposable occurrences in the chosen
right-mesh middle term ending at target.
Instances For
A nonprojective right-middle occurrence is a displayed indecomposable summand of the chosen right-mesh middle term whose label is nonprojective.
Instances For
betaAt counts the nonprojective occurrences in any displayed
indecomposable decomposition of the chosen right-mesh middle term. Thus a
later structural argument may use its own explicit decomposition instead of
the noncomputable one used to define arrowMultiplicity.
betaAt is the literal cardinality of the nonprojective occurrences in
the chosen right-mesh middle term. In particular, repeated isomorphic
summands remain distinct occurrences.
Discarding the projective summands of a right-mesh middle term can only decrease its number of indecomposable occurrences.
If one displayed middle-term summand is projective, then the nonprojective occurrence count is at least one smaller than the total displayed arity.
The preceding estimate may be read from any finite indecomposable decomposition of any right-minimal right almost-split map to the endpoint; uniqueness of minimal right almost-split sources identifies it with the chosen right mesh.
Maximum number of nonprojective indecomposable occurrences in a chosen right almost-split middle term. Projective endpoints contribute zero.
Instances For
A bound on beta is exactly a bound on the nonprojective middle
occurrences at every nonprojective endpoint.
A uniform bound on the total arity of nonprojective right-mesh middle
terms also bounds beta.
To prove a uniform beta bound, it suffices to inject the
nonprojective occurrences in every nonprojective right-mesh middle term into
a fixed finite set.
A structural description may choose a convenient indecomposable
decomposition separately at every nonprojective endpoint. Bounding the
nonprojective occurrences in those displayed decompositions bounds beta,
independently of all noncomputable decomposition choices in the finite-tau
data.
