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 tensor product and contragredient dual of a finite-group module
Example
Let with , let , and give the representation , . With , , and on group elements, the tensor product action is diagonal. The left-dual action in this page's convention is the contragredient action .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A field , the group with , , the displayed two-dimensional representation , and its basis dual .
Group and abelian group: a group has an associative multiplication and an identity and each element has an inverse.
The module category of a bialgebra and its tensor action: the tensor action is and the unit acts by the counit.
The left dual of a finite-dimensional Hopf module: the dual action is and the coevaluation tensor is .
Evaluation, coevaluation, and triangle identities for left duals: for a finite-dimensional module these evaluation and coevaluation maps are -linear and satisfy both triangle identities.
Verification
Given: The data in Facts & Assumptions.
The group algebra has basis and relation . Define , , , and , , extending linearly. For , both and equal ; both and equal . These maps preserve units. Coassociativity and the two counit identities hold on by direct substitution, hence on by linearity. Also and the same holds for , so both antipode identities hold on the basis and then on all of . Thus these formulas give the required Hopf structure.
The operator on squares to the identity, so the stated action defines a unital -module. The diagonal tensor action sends to because ; applying it twice fixes every basis tensor. The unit module has acting by .
Since , and , hence . Similarly . This is exactly the contragredient action, and it squares to the identity, so it is a left -module.
The evaluation pairing is invariant because . The coevaluation tensor is fixed by , since interchanges its two summands; it is therefore -linear. Since span , these checks prove linearity for all .
The two triangle composites send to and send to . The basis vectors span and , so both composites are identities; this also verifies the finite-group instance of [F4].
