The first transmission row for a same-strand one-off marking #
This begins the formalization of Lemmas 4.23--4.25 for the marking consisting
of the left endpoint and the penultimate point of one strand. The endpoint
reflection firing rewrites subtraction of the penultimate chip into banana
normal form. At the divisor g • rightEndpoint, the resulting four ranks
give rankDelta = 1, hence the base transmission row tau 0 = 0.
The zero divisor is a semibreak divisor.
Endpoint reflection, rewritten in the form used after subtracting the
penultimate mark from a right-endpoint multiple:
cR-v_(alpha,n-1) ~ -L+(c-1)R+v_(alpha,1).
The corresponding reflection firing after also subtracting the left mark.
The rank-difference calculation behind the base row of paper
Lemma 4.23. It is stated for every positive right-endpoint coefficient up to
the genus; the paper application is c=g.
The first concrete transmission row of Lemma 4.23: for
D=g·rightEndpoint, the same-strand one-off permutation satisfies
tau(0)=0.
