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.

Boundary normal subgroups in Clifford theory

Example

Let G be any finite group. At N=1, the sole normal type is θ=1 and inertia is G; an irreducible character χ restricts to χ(1) copies of this type, so e(χ,1)=χ(1). Clifford induction is identity on Irr(G). At N=G and θIrr(G), inertia is again G, the lying-over set is the singleton {θ}, and e(θ,θ)=1; the correspondence is the singleton identity.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The groups, modules, characters, and hypotheses in the example. All representations here are finite-dimensional complex left representations.

[F1]

Induction from inertia is a bijection above a normal type, with inverse its isotypical component. (Clifford correspondence).

[F2]

The ramification index is the multiplicity of the chosen normal type. (Clifford ramification index).

[F3]

An extension to inertia parametrizes the irreducibles above the normal type by irreducibles of the inertia quotient. (Gallagher correspondence for an extendible type).

Verification

1.1

For N=1, the trivial group has just its one-dimensional trivial irreducible: every subspace is invariant, so a nonzero irreducible space has dimension one. Every G-module restricts to its dimension many copies of this type. Conjugation fixes it, so I=G, its isotypical component is the whole module, and induction from G to itself is identity. The ramification is therefore χ(1).

2.1

The trivial normal type extends to the trivial representation of G. Gallagher with G/1=G sends η to 1η=η, recovering all of Irr(G). A higher-degree irreducible thus has homogeneous but reducible restriction to 1.

F3step 1.1
3.1

For N=G, characters are fixed by inner conjugation, so I=G. The restriction of an irreducible to the same group is itself, hence it contains θ exactly when it equals θ, then with multiplicity one. Clifford correspondence is the singleton identity. The module affording θ extends to itself, and Gallagher has the trivial quotient G/G, again giving only θ. If G=1, these two endpoint descriptions agree and all degrees and indices are one.
