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.

Brauer pair branching for C3⋊D8 in characteristic two

Example

Let k be a splitting field of characteristic 2 containing a primitive cube root ω. Let G=⟨a,r,s∣a3=r4=s2=1, srs=r−1, rar−1=a, sas=a−1⟩, Q=⟨r⟩, and P=⟨r,s⟩. The three local blocks of kCG(Q) are e0=1+a+a2, e1=1+ω2a+ωa2, and e2=1+ωa+ω2a2. Exactly (Q,e0) among these local pairs lies below (P,1).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The field, presentation and subgroups stated above.

[F1]

At normal subgroups, pair inclusion is equivalent to stability and the relative Brauer-product condition. (Brauer pair order is independent of the normal chain)

1.1given

The automorphisms of C3=⟨a⟩ assigned to r,s are respectively identity and inversion; they satisfy the relations of D8. Thus the semidirect product exists and has unique normal forms airjsϵ, 0≤i<3, 0≤j<4, 0≤ϵ<2. The presentation reduces every word to this form and maps onto that product, so it defines exactly this group of order 24. In particular Q⊴P and P≅D8.

2.1step 1.1

Conjugation by airjsϵ sends r to r(−1)ϵ, so centralizing Q requires ϵ=0. Therefore CG(Q)=⟨a⟩×⟨r⟩. Among its elements, commuting with s requires airj=a−ir−j, hence i=0 and j even. Thus CG(P)=⟨r2⟩≅C2.

3.1step 2.1

Write em=∑i=02ω−miai for m=0,1,2. The coefficient of al in emen is ω−nl∑iω(n−m)i. The inner sum is 0 for m≠n by 1+ω+ω2=0, and 3=1 for m=n. Thus emen=δmnem and ∑mem=1, and aem=ωmem. Each factor emkCG(Q) is consequently isomorphic to kC4=k[u]/((u−1)4). Its elements with nonzero constant coefficient in u−1 have a finite geometric inverse; the others are nilpotent. It is local, and an idempotent in it is 0 or 1 since one of it and its complement is a unit. Hence these are exactly the three primitive central blocks.

4.1F1step 2.1step 3.1∎

Conjugation by r fixes each em, while s sends em to e−m. Thus e0 is the only P-stable block. In the relative Brauer projection of e0, its terms a,a2 do not centralize P, so only 1 remains: Br⁡P/Q(e0)=1. Also kCG(P)≅k[v]/((v−1)2) is local by the same unit calculation, with sole block 1. Therefore (Q,e0)⊴(P,1). Neither e1 nor e2 is stable, so [F1], applicable since Q⊴P, excludes both other inclusions. The fixed sum e1+e2=a+a2 has relative image zero, consistently with this conclusion.
