Multiplication and powers of categorical Hom ideals #
The product of two two-sided additive Hom ideals is generated by composites through arbitrary intermediate objects. This file proves the elementary ideal arithmetic needed to state nilpotence of a categorical radical and to deduce separation of its power filtration.
Pointwise inclusion of categorical Hom ideals.
Instances For
The zero categorical Hom ideal.
Instances For
The whole categorical Hom ideal.
Instances For
Composites of one morphism from I followed by one from J.
Instances For
Product of two categorical Hom ideals: the additive subgroup generated
by composites f ≫ g with f ∈ I and g ∈ J.
Instances For
Instances For
A single allowed composite belongs to the product ideal.
Every product lies in its left factor, since the left factor is closed under postcomposition.
Every product lies in its right factor, since the right factor is closed under precomposition.
Associativity follows from associativity and bilinearity of categorical composition; the closure induction accounts for finite additive sums.
Right-recursive powers of a categorical Hom ideal. The zeroth power is the whole Hom ideal.
Instances For
The pointwise intersection of all powers.
Instances For
A categorical Hom ideal is nilpotent if one of its powers is zero.
Instances For
Nilpotence forces the intersection of all powers to vanish.
Elementwise form of the same separatedness conclusion.
