Incidence boundary evaluations of a finite poset space #
For t in a finite poset, the projective boundary line P_t is supported
on the principal filter Set.Ici t. Its complementary boundary line Q_t
is supported on the complement of the principal ideal Set.Iic t.
This file proves the two concrete evaluations used in the frozen manuscript:
- maps
P_t ⟶ Xare the vectors in the distinguished subspaceX_t; - maps
X ⟶ Q_tare the linear functionals onX / X_t.
For a one-dimensional total space these evaluations are complementary: the first Hom space is nonzero exactly when the second Hom space vanishes.
The complement of the principal ideal generated by t.
Instances For
The complement of a principal ideal is an upper set.
The complementary one-dimensional boundary object Q_t.
Instances For
Every map X ⟶ Q_t vanishes on the distinguished subspace X_t.
A map to Q_t descends to a functional on X / X_t.
Instances For
A functional on X / X_t defines a morphism X ⟶ Q_t.
Instances For
The quotient-dual incidence evaluation
Hom(X,Q_t) ≃ D(X/X_t).
Instances For
Reflexivity of finite-dimensional vector spaces turns quotient
evaluation into the dual of the Q_t-corepresentable.
Instances For
The pointwise boundary map in the incidence exact sequence. It is the
quotient map X ⟶ X/X_t, followed by the canonical identification of the
quotient with D Hom(X,Q_t).
Instances For
The incidence boundary functional evaluates a map X ⟶ Q_t on the
chosen vector of X.
The kernel of the boundary evaluation is exactly the distinguished
subspace X_t.
The boundary evaluation is onto.
Precomposition on morphisms into Q_t.
Instances For
Naturality of the incidence boundary evaluation. Postcomposition on
the total spaces agrees with the dual of precomposition into Q_t.
Pointwise exactness of the manuscript's incidence sequence
0 → X_t → X → D Hom(X,Q_t) → 0.
The first map is the literal subspace inclusion and the second is

For a one-dimensional total space, the two incidence evaluations are complementary.
