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 C2={1,s} with s2=1, let H=k[C2], and give V=ke0⊕ke1 the representation se0=e1, se1=e0. With Δ(g)=g⊗g, ε(g)=1, and S(g)=g−1 on group elements, the tensor product action is diagonal. The left-dual action in this page's convention is the contragredient action (g⋅f)(v)=f(g−1v).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A field k, the group C2={1,s} with s2=1, H=k[C2], the displayed two-dimensional representation V, and its basis dual e0,e1.

[F1]

Group and abelian group: a group has an associative multiplication and an identity and each element has an inverse.

[F2]

The module category of a bialgebra and its tensor action: the tensor action is h(v⊗w)=∑h(1)v⊗h(2)w and the unit acts by the counit.

[F3]

The left dual of a finite-dimensional Hopf module: the dual action is (h⋅f)(v)=f(S(h)v) and the coevaluation tensor is ∑iei⊗ei.

[F4]

Evaluation, coevaluation, and triangle identities for left duals: for a finite-dimensional module these evaluation and coevaluation maps are H-linear and satisfy both triangle identities.

Verification

Given: The data in Facts & Assumptions.

1.1F1givenalgebra

The group algebra H has basis 1,s and relation s2=1. Define Δ(1)=1⊗1, Δ(s)=s⊗s, ε(1)=ε(s)=1, and S(1)=1, S(s)=s, extending linearly. For a,b,c,d∈k, both Δ((a+bs)(c+ds)) and Δ(a+bs)Δ(c+ds) equal (ac+bd)1⊗1+(ad+bc)s⊗s; both ε((a+bs)(c+ds)) and ε(a+bs)ε(c+ds) equal (a+b)(c+d). These maps preserve units. Coassociativity and the two counit identities hold on 1,s by direct substitution, hence on H by linearity. Also S(s)s=sS(s)=1 and the same holds for 1, so both antipode identities hold on the basis and then on all of H. Thus these formulas give the required Hopf structure.

The operator s on V squares to the identity, so the stated action defines a unital H-module. The diagonal tensor action sends ei⊗ej to e1−i⊗e1−j because Δ(s)=s⊗s; applying it twice fixes every basis tensor. The unit module has s acting by 1.

Since S(s)=s−1=s, (s⋅e0)(e0)=e0(e1)=0 and (s⋅e0)(e1)=e0(e0)=1, hence s⋅e0=e1. Similarly s⋅e1=e0. This is exactly the contragredient action, and it squares to the identity, so it is a left H-module.

The evaluation pairing is invariant because ev⁡(s⋅(ei⊗ej))=ev⁡(e1−i⊗e1−j)=δ1−i,1−j=δi,j=ε(s)ev⁡(ei⊗ej). The coevaluation tensor e0⊗e0+e1⊗e1 is fixed by s, since s interchanges its two summands; it is therefore H-linear. Since 1,s span H, these checks prove linearity for all h∈H.

The two triangle composites send ej to ∑ieiei(ej)=ej and send ej to ∑iej(ei)ei=ej. The basis vectors span V and V∗, so both composites are identities; this also verifies the finite-group instance of [F4].
