Exact mass splitting across a distinguished triangle #

This file owns the cases in which Harder--Narasimhan mass is exactly additive along a distinguished triangle: when the two filtrations are phase separated, when the endpoints are cut by a gtProp/leProp boundary, and when both endpoints are semistable of a common phase. The easy triangle inequalities that follow directly from additivity are proved here too.

The hard arbitrary-left case is developed in PhaseOne and Consequences.

HN mass is exactly additive across a distinguished triangle when every phase of the right-hand HN filtration is strictly below every phase of the left-hand filtration. The proof peels the right filtration from its head and uses the octahedral axiom to append that factor to the left filtration.

Intrinsic cutoff form of exact mass splitting. If the left endpoint has all HN phases strictly above t and the right endpoint has all phases at most t, the middle mass is the sum of the endpoint masses.

On the amplitude window with phases in (0, 2], mass is the sum of the masses of the only two possibly nonzero heart-cohomology objects.

The charge of the middle object in a distinguished triangle is the sum of the endpoint charges.

Mass is subadditive along a distinguished triangle whose middle object is semistable.

Mass is subadditive when both endpoints of a distinguished triangle are semistable of the same phase.

Mass is exactly additive when both endpoints of a distinguished triangle lie in one semistable slice. The middle object is in the same slice by extension closure, and all three charges lie on the same ray.

At the upper boundary of the canonical heart, a semistable left endpoint can be prepended to an arbitrary heart object without increasing mass beyond the sum of the endpoint masses.

If the right endpoint has no phase-one HN factor, the two endpoint filtrations are strictly separated. Otherwise its unique phase-one head is first combined with the left endpoint; that extension remains in P(1), and the remaining HN tail is strictly lower. This is the precise mass comparison behind the "easy to check" phase-one extension step in Ikeda's proof of Proposition 3.3.
