Rational magnitude of a finite Hom-finite category #
For a finite chosen skeleton, the Leinster magnitude is the total sum of the inverse of the rational Hom-dimension matrix. The Hom--mesh inverse theorem identifies that inverse with the integral mesh matrix, proving the frozen manuscript's magnitude formula rather than merely its combinatorial analogue.
Rational Hom-dimension matrix of the chosen finite skeleton.
Instances For
The integral mesh matrix, regarded over the rationals.
Instances For
Leinster magnitude of the chosen finite Hom-dimension matrix.
Instances For
The integer inverse equation remains valid after passing to rational coefficients.
Hence the nonsingular inverse of the rational Hom matrix is precisely the rationalized mesh matrix.
