Vertex projectives of a zigzag algebra #
For a finite simple graph without isolated vertices, this file constructs the left projective
module at a vertex i as the principal left ideal Z e_i in the zigzag relation quotient. Right
multiplication by e_i is a projection from the regular module onto this ideal, so the module is
projective. Its idempotent is primitive, so the module is also indecomposable.
The vertex projective has an explicit basis: the idempotent e_i, the arrows whose tail is i,
and the volume class x_i. Thus its dimension is 2 + deg(i). The choice of arrows with tail
i, rather than head i, is forced by Tau Ceti's later-factor-first convention: Z e_i consists
of paths which begin at i.

Projecting an element of Z e_i back onto Z e_i fixes it.
The projection onto Z e_i splits its inclusion into the regular module.
The vertex ideal Z e_i is a projective left module over the zigzag relation quotient.
Indecomposability #
A vertex idempotent is nonzero in the zigzag relation quotient.
The vertex idempotents of a zigzag relation quotient are primitive. Modulo the Jacobson
radical they are the coordinate idempotents in the product V → k; an idempotent summand which
vanishes there lies in the nilpotent radical and is therefore zero.
The vertex projective Z e_i is indecomposable as a left module over the zigzag relation
quotient.

generator.
