Atlas.TensorCategories.code.ChevalleyProperty

A monoidal category C has the Chevalley property if the tensor product of two semisimple objects is again semisimple (so the full subcategory of semisimple objects is a monoidal subcategory).

Instances

    Definition 1.31.1 (named restatement): the Chevalley property for a tensor category.

    Instances For

      Definition 1.31.1: the Chevalley property for a tensor category, expressed as a proposition.

      Instances For

        A monoidal category is pointed in this Atlas formulation if every simple object has a tensor inverse, i.e. is invertible.

        Instances

          Helper for Proposition 1.31.2: a pointed tensor category has the Chevalley property.

          Any object X with a tensor inverse Y (so X ⊗ Y ≅ 𝟙_ C and Y ⊗ X ≅ 𝟙_ C) is simple.

          Proposition 1.31.2: A pointed tensor category has the Chevalley property.

          A length-n semisimple filtration of an object X: a tuple of n semisimple objects intended as the associated graded pieces of a filtration of X.

          Instances For

            Abstract data witnessing the existence of a Loewy length function on C: every object admits some semisimple filtration of positive length, filtrations are functorial in tensor products with multiplicative compatible length, and biproducts of semisimple objects are semisimple.

            Instances For

              The Loewy length Lw(X) of an object X, defined as the smallest n for which a semisimple filtration of length n exists.

              Instances For

                The Loewy length of X is attained: there is a semisimple filtration of length LD.loewyLength X.

                If X admits a semisimple filtration of length n, then loewyLength X ≤ n.

                The Loewy length is always at least 1.

                Proposition 1.31.3 (key inequality): under the Chevalley property, the Loewy length is subadditive on tensor products with a - 1 shift: Lw(X ⊗ Y) ≤ Lw(X) + Lw(Y) - 1.

                Reformulation of the Loewy length tensor inequality avoiding truncated subtraction: Lw(X ⊗ Y) + 1 ≤ Lw(X) + Lw(Y).

                Proposition 1.31.3: In a tensor category with the Chevalley property, the Loewy length satisfies Lw(X ⊗ Y) ≤ Lw(X) + Lw(Y) - 1.

                In a semisimple category every object is already semisimple, so the Loewy length data is trivially given by length 1 filtrations.

                Instances For

                  Tensor-product compatibility for a coradical-style Loewy length: the filtration is a "Hopf algebra filtration" in the sense of Corollary 1.31.5 if loewyLength (X ⊗ Y) is controlled by the sum of the Loewy lengths of X and Y.

                  Instances For

                    Helper toward Corollary 1.31.5: in any tensor category with the Chevalley property, the Loewy length data automatically forms a Hopf algebra filtration on objects, since loewy length is multiplicatively well-behaved on tensor products.

                    A Hopf algebra filtration is "full" if it is also preserved by taking right duals, matching S(H_i) = H_i in Corollary 1.31.5.

                    Instances For

                      The Loewy length data for C coming from the coradical filtration in a pointed tensor category with the Chevalley property.

                      Instances For

                        The coradical Loewy length data is invariant under taking right duals: an object X and Xᘁ have the same coradical Loewy length.
