Ordinary arrows and one-sided generating contours #
def:generating-rays(3), the path part of lem:generating-paths, and
prop:controlled-contours (primitive-ray-equations.tex, Appendix C.1 in
local-ray-restrictions.tex).
An ordinary path for a ray f starts with an ordinary left divisor of f, and every
ordinary left divisor starts such a path. We prove prop:controlled-contours in the form
used by lem:one-sided-path-coefficients: a generating ray of type L has exactly one
ordinary left divisor (all its ordinary paths start with the same arrow), and dually for
type R. The proof is that of Appendix C.1 applied to two paths with distinct first
(respectively last) arrows: the crown and the six-point tree fix their types, and the
six-lift and eight-lift trees exclude the remaining case.
An ordinary arrow (def:generating-rays(3)).
Instances For
An ordinary left divisor: the first arrow of an ordinary path of f.
Instances For
An ordinary right divisor: the last arrow of an ordinary path of f.
Instances For
Right multiplication by a local power keeps the endpoints of a ray.
Left multiplication by a local power keeps the endpoints of a ray.
Lemma 8.14, path part (lem:generating-paths): every factor of a generating ray in
a Hom of dimension at least two is generating.
Lemma 8.14, vertex-simplicity: a generating ray in a Hom of dimension at least two has no local nonidentity factor.
No ray lies n χ below a generating ray (start of Appendix C.1).
First arrows of a left-sided generating ray #
Distinct ordinary arrows are incomparable.
The cofactor of an ordinary left divisor is not an identity when another one exists.
A local ray of character χ (primitive, positive) is the local generator.
A left-sided ray has no return a v = q_x.
A cross comparison a_i h = q̂_x a_j between first arrows of a left-sided ray.
Two distinct first arrows of a left-sided generating ray (Appendix C.1, first step): one is left-sided and the other two-sided.
The opposite system #
Two distinct last arrows of a right-sided generating ray: one is right-sided and the
other two-sided (the dual of first_arrow_types).
Right-sided rays with two last arrows #
An ordinary arrow is not a proper left multiple of another ray.
The cofactor of an ordinary right divisor is not an identity when another one exists.
The right-sided case of Appendix C.1: a right-sided generating ray has no two last
arrows of types B and R. With a primitive reverse of the two-sided arrow the six-lift
tree occurs; otherwise the eight-lift tree occurs.
Proposition 9.10 (prop:controlled-contours), right-sided form: all ordinary paths
of a right-sided generating ray end with the same arrow.
Proposition 9.10, left-sided form: all ordinary paths of a left-sided generating ray start with the same arrow.
