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.

Wall-crossing functors do not commute

Statement refuted

Assume the Axiom of Choice, inherited from the published items used. In type A2 with distinct simple reflections s,t (so mst=3), the wall-crossing functors θsθt and θtθs on the regular integral block commute, so that the assignment s↦θs defines a representation of W=S3 on the block. This is false: the two functors are not naturally equivalent, and θs2 is not the identity.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice), the type-A2 regular integral block with simple reflections s,t with st of order three, the wall-crossing functors θs,θt of The wall-crossing functor and its unit and counit, and the class map c of The wall-crossing action on the Grothendieck group is multiplication by 1+s.

[F1]

The assignment c ⁣:K0(Oλ)→Z[W], c[Δ(v⋅λ)]=v, is an isomorphism and satisfies c[θsX]=c[X](1+s) for every X, hence c[θtθsΔ(λ)]=(1+s)(1+t) and c[θsθtΔ(λ)]=(1+t)(1+s) (The wall-crossing action on the Grothendieck group is multiplication by 1+s).

[F2]

The classes [Δ(v⋅λ)], v∈W, form a Z-basis of K0(Oλ) (Simple and standard bases of K0(O), Finite Verma flags and their multiplicities).

[F3]

Two projective functors are naturally equivalent if and only if their induced operators on K0(Oλ) agree (Indecomposable projective functors are indexed by the Weyl group, part (3)).

The two class computations are c[θtθsΔ(λ)]=(1+s)(1+t)=1+s+t+st and c[θsθtΔ(λ)]=(1+t)(1+s)=1+t+s+ts, that is [θtθsΔ(λ)]=[Δ(λ)]+[Δ(s⋅λ)]+[Δ(t⋅λ)]+[Δ(st⋅λ)] and [θsθtΔ(λ)]=[Δ(λ)]+[Δ(t⋅λ)]+[Δ(s⋅λ)]+[Δ(ts⋅λ)].

1.2F1F2algebra

The two products of [F1], (1+s)(1+t) and (1+t)(1+s), differ: the coefficient of the length-two element st is one in the first and zero in the second, and vice versa for ts, while st≠ts in S3 and the standard classes form a Z-basis, so the induced class operators on K0(Oλ) are different and already differ on the single class [Δ(λ)].

2.1F3step 1.2

By the determination theorem, two projective functors whose class operators on K0 differ are not naturally equivalent; hence θsθt≇θtθs.

Feeding one factor at a time gives c[θs2X]=c[X](1+s)2=2c[X](1+s)=2c[θsX] for every X, so the class operators of θs2 and of θs⊕θs agree and the determination theorem gives θs2≅θs⊕θs≇id⁡, since θsΔ(λ) has nonzero class 1+s; hence s↦θs is not a representation of W, the wall-crossing classes are the specialized self-dual Hecke generators 1+s, whose square is 2(1+s); the group generator is recovered on classes by s=[θs]−1, and 'generated by wall-crossing' cannot be read as the assignment s↦θs being a representation of W.
