Rank functions on $(d+2)$-angulated categories -- a functorial approach
Abstract
We introduce the notion of a rank function on a -angulated category which generalises the notion of a rank function on a triangulated category. Inspired by work of Chuang and Lazarev, for an odd positive integer, we prove that there is a bijective correspondence between rank functions defined on objects in and rank functions defined on morphisms in . Inspired by work of Conde, Gorsky, Marks and Zvonareva, for an odd positive integer, we show there is a bijective correspondence between rank functions on and additive functions on , where is endowed with the Amiot-Lin -angulated category structure. This allows us to show that every integral rank function on can be decomposed into irreducible rank functions.
