Special successors in Iyama right ladders #
This file formalizes Iyama, Tau-categories I, 3.6.1(2)(i)--(ii), in the split-complement language used by the right-ladder construction. A radical-power perturbation of the raw complement successor lifts to a perturbation of the current split mesh factor in the same power. Cokernel transport proves that the successor depends only on the arrow-isomorphism class of that factor, and hence a special current arrow has a special raw successor.
Everything here is categorical; no module classification or concrete algebra is used.
Component-exposing form of right-tau-sequence endpoint uniqueness.
Invariant form of the well-definedness of Iyama's l⁺ operation.
If two split factors through the second map of a right tau-sequence are isomorphic as arrows, then the arrows induced on any chosen cokernels of the split factors by the first map are isomorphic.
Radical-power lifting through the first map of a tau-approximation.
An element of J^(n+1) lifts with coefficient in J^n. This is the
filtration-sensitive factorization in Iyama 3.6.1(2)(i).
The matrix lift of a J^(n+1) perturbation of the raw successor.
For n ≥ 1, an isomorphism of the mesh middle term changes the complement
successor by the prescribed J^(n+1) arrow while changing the split mesh
factor by another arrow in the same radical power.
Representative form of Iyama 3.6.1(2)(i).
For source exponent N = n + 1 with n ≥ 1, a prescribed J^N
perturbation of the complement successor is realized by another split mesh
factor whose current arrow differs in J^N. The displayed map p' is a
genuine cokernel of the new split factor, not merely an annihilating map.
Iyama 3.6.1(2)(ii), in split-complement form.
If a split factor through the second map of a right tau-sequence is special, then the raw successor obtained by composing the first map with the complement projection is special.
Chosen-mesh form of successor specialness, matching the output of the special split-factor normalization theorem.
