Componentwise factorization in shift-orbit categories #
This file gives the finite-support assembly used in Gabriel's almost-split push-down argument. If every homogeneous component of a shift-orbit morphism factors through an ordinary map, then the whole orbit morphism factors through its degree-zero inclusion.
Composition of an ordinary map in degree zero with a homogeneous map is ordinary categorical composition.
In the shift-orbit category, composing an ordinary degree-zero map with a homogeneous morphism is ordinary categorical composition.
Componentwise factorizations through an ordinary morphism assemble into a factorization of a finite-support shift-orbit morphism.
The identity-degree component after precomposition by an ordinary map is ordinary composition.
The identity-degree component after postcomposition by an ordinary map is ordinary categorical composition.
The degree-zero orbit inclusion reflects split monomorphisms.
