Rescaling arrows and mesh relations #
graded-category.tex and Appendix A
(periodic-mesh-calculations.tex): "rescaling arrows and entire
mesh relations changes the mesh derivative by invertible diagonal maps". Given
arrow scalars μ and relation scalars η with
c'_{x,a} = η_x c_{x,a} μ_{σ a} μ_a, the linear functor kQ → kQ multiplying
each path by the product of the scalars of its arrows (gaugeMap) sends the
mesh relation r_x(c) to η_x⁻¹ r_x(c'), hence the mesh ideal of c into that
of c' (gaugeMap_mem_ideal). A single path therefore lies in one ideal iff it
lies in the other.
The weight of a path: the product of the scalars of its arrows.
Instances For
Multiplying each path by its weight.
Instances For
Gauge transformations of mesh relations.
A gauge transformation maps the mesh ideal of c into that of c'.
A single path lies in the mesh ideal of c' if it lies in that of c.
