How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The Soergel functor is not fully faithful on all category-O objects

Statement refuted

Assume the inherited Axiom of Choice. In the regular integral sl2 block at λ=0 (so ρ=1 and s⋅0=−2), the functor V=Hom⁡O(P(−2),−) is fully faithful on every object of the block, i.e. V ⁣:Hom⁡O(M,N)→Hom⁡C-mod(VM,VN) is a bijection for all objects M,N. This is false.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The ground field is k=C. The Axiom of Choice inherited from the published category-O suppliers, the regular integral sl2 block at λ=0 of The regular integral block and its antidominant weight, and the Soergel functor V=Hom⁡(P(−2),−) of The antidominant projective and the Soergel functor with C=End⁡(P(−2)).

[F1]

In the block, Δe=M(0)=Δ(0) and Δs=M(−2)=Δ(−2); the Verma M(−2)=L(−2) is simple and there is a nonsplit sequence 0→L(−2)→M(0)→L(0)→0 with L(0) one-dimensional and L(−2)=M(−2) infinite-dimensional; the projective cover P(−2) has head L(−2) and Verma flag M(0),M(−2), once each (Verma modules, The simple objects of O, BGG reciprocity, Wall-crossing acts on standard modules by a two-step extension, Wall-crossing compositions produce the projective with the top standard label).

[F2]

V is exact with C≅k[x]/(x2), deg⁡x=2, and values V(P(−2))=C, V(M(0))=k, V(M(−2))=k, V(L(0))=0, V(L(−2))=k; in particular Hom⁡C(k,k)=k (The endomorphisms of the antidominant projective form the coinvariant algebra, The antidominant projective and the Soergel functor).

[F3]

A homomorphism M(0)→L(−2) carries the cyclic highest-weight vector of weight 0 into the weight-0 part of L(−2), which is zero because the weights of L(−2) are −2,−4,…; hence Hom⁡O(M(0),L(−2))=0 (Verma modules, The simple objects of O).

Exactness of V applied to 0→L(−2)→M(0)→L(0)→0 gives 0→V(L(−2))→V(M(0))→V(L(0))→0, that is 0→k→V(M(0))→0, so V(M(0))≅k, and V(P(−2))≅C; also P(−2) has indecomposable head L(−2) so V(L(0))=Hom⁡(P(−2),L(0))=0 and V(L(−2))=k.

2.1F2step 1.1

Non-faithfulness: L(0) is a nonzero object with one-dimensional endomorphism ring, and id⁡L(0)≠0 is a nonzero element of Hom⁡O(L(0),L(0))=k, while V(L(0))=0 forces its image in Hom⁡C(0,0)=0 to be zero; so V is not faithful.

2.2F2F3step 1.1

Failure of fullness: Hom⁡O(M(0),L(−2))=0 while V(M(0))≅V(L(−2))≅k and Hom⁡C(k,k)=k≠0, so the induced map between these Hom spaces is the zero map on a nonzero target and is not surjective.

3.1F1step 2.1step 2.2∎

The two failures use a nonprojective target: L(0) is nonprojective because the nonsplit surjection M(0)→L(0) would otherwise split, and L(−2) is nonprojective because the nonsplit surjection P(−2)→L(−2) would otherwise split, with P(−2) indecomposable; hence they do not contradict the Struktursatz Soergel's Struktursatz: the functor V is fully faithful on projectives, whose target hypothesis is exactly that Q be projective (the source may be arbitrary), and they do not refute the separate assertion of faithfulness on the quotient by the V-killed Serre subcategory, since L(0) is precisely an object killed by V.
