Abstract
We organize and extend a set of computations and structural observations about the Grigoryan--Lin--Muranov--Yau (GLMY) path complex of circulant digraphs and circulant graphs . Using the shift automorphism and a Fourier decomposition, we reduce many rank computations for the GLMY boundary maps to finite-dimensional -eigenspaces. This provides a reusable "symbol-matrix" recipe that highlights (i) the dependence on prime versus composite and (ii) stability phenomena for certain natural choices of connection sets . Several fully worked examples are included, together with a discussion of how the additive structure of governs low-dimensional chains and Betti numbers.
