Filtered bundles and spectral sequences #7

Description

@pbelmans

We want to implement filtered bundles and their associated spectral sequences.

A filtered bundle is given by a list of its associated graded pieces, in the appropriate order. This is implemented.

Attached to a filtered bundle we want to have the associated spectral sequence. This is work-in-progress. I believe we can encode the first page of the spectral sequence using a sparse data structure, namely a dictionary with keys (i,j) and values the Weyl characters.

Now, this is not the structure to do computations with. Rather, I think we need a "basic" spectral sequence gadget, which integers as its values. The reasons are:

  • sometimes we don't have an equivariant spectral sequence (like with Koszul computations), this is a "dimension-valued" spectral sequence
  • even if we have an equivariant spectral sequence, we only care about the isotypical components! therefore, everything reduces to a "multiplicity-valued" spectral sequence, where simply count the multiplicities

For these data structures, we care about knowing whether things degenerate on the E_1 page. This is now an easy computation by inspecting the shape of the spectral sequence, namely, we look at all possible non-zero differentials, and we need to see if there are non-trivial ones to take into account.

This gives us the following:

  • implement a SpectralSequence type, which has a type parameter T, which is either BigInt or WeylCharacter for us
  • implement a method isotypical_components which takes a SpectralSequence with Weyl characters and creates a list (or maybe Dict, with keys the Weyl characters) of spectra sequences with multiplicities
  • implement a method degenerates_on_first_page which checks that there are no possible non-zero differentials at any stage of the spectral sequence
  • implement a method E_oo_page (this is a bad name), which asserts degenerates_on_first_page, this gives the cohomology (either as integers, or as Weyl characters if equivariant) of the filtered bundle, assuming everything degenerates

Some other things to do:

  • say associated graded, not "total bundle" in src/FilteredBundle.jl
