Lemma A.5: closed paths of degree four in Π(D₄) #
lem:d4-four-return (periodic-mesh-calculations.tex): "At the centre,
degree-four paths are the six x_i x_j with i ≠ j, and their remaining
relations are the row and column sums. In the order 12, 13, 21, 23, 31, 32,
their classes are z, -z, -z, z, z, -z. Assigning these values in k gives a
nonzero functional annihilating all the relations, so z ≠ 0. At leaf i, the
two possible paths b_i a_j b_j a_i, j ≠ i, have only the relation that their
sum is zero."
We work in a star with three arms, deleting every vertex at depth at least two:
the retained vertices form the D₄ with centre o and leaves a_i. The
functional takes the value M i j on o a_i o a_j o and on a_i o a_j o a_i,
where M is the cyclic matrix with rows and columns summing to zero.
The values M i j = 1 for j = i + 1, -1 for i = j + 1.
Instances For
The arm of a vertex at depth one.
Instances For
The value on a pair of depth-one vertices.
Instances For
The functional on vertex lists of length five.
Instances For
Sums over the arrows out of the centre.
The deleted vertices: depth at least two.
Instances For
Lemma A.5: every vertex of the D₄ part carries a nonzero closed path of
degree four in Π(Δ) modulo the deeper vertices.
