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 rank-two ordered-basis Hecke operator and all braid cases

Example

Let F=Q(q), put η=q−q−1, and use the operator T of The ordered-basis Hecke operator and its normalization. Write eaeb for ea⊗eb. For N=2, in the ordered basis (e1e1,e1e2,e2e1,e2e2) its matrix is

(q000001001η0000q).

The complete weak-order case table for three tensor positions is below. In rows with two distinct labels assume a<b; in rows with three distinct labels assume a<b<c.

At q=1, T is the ordinary flip. At q=−1, T2=I, but T(ea⊗ea)=−ea⊗ea, so T is not the ordinary flip.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: F=Q(q), an ordered basis e1<⋯<eN, the operator T, and the standard elementary-tensor bases of the finite tensor powers.

[F1]

The operator fixes an equal pair with coefficient q, flips an increasing pair, and sends a decreasing pair ea⊗eb to eb⊗ea+(q−q−1)ea⊗eb (The ordered-basis Hecke operator and its normalization).

[F2]

If two vector spaces are free with specified bases, the elementary tensors of those bases form a basis of their tensor product; iterating this gives the displayed pair and triple bases (The elementary tensors of two bases form the product basis of the tensor product).

Verification

Given: The data in [F1]–[F2].

1.1givenF1F2algebra

Applying [F1] to the four ordered pairs for N=2 gives the displayed matrix: the unequal-pair block on (e1e2,e2e1) is (011η) and the equal pairs have eigenvalue q. The elementary tensor basis from [F2] makes these blocks a full decomposition of the operator. The unequal-pair block satisfies T2=ηT+I, while the equal-pair identity is q2=ηq+1; since T2−ηT−I=(T−qI)(T+q−1I), the quadratic relation holds. The same block has inverse T−ηI, and the equal-pair inverse is q−1=q−η.

1.2givenF1F2algebra

Every entry in the table is obtained by applying the three cases of [F1] successively to the indicated adjacent pair; the thirteen rows exhaust the weak-order patterns (one all-equal, six with exactly two distinct labels, and six with three distinct labels). The two computed columns agree in every row, and the triple basis in [F2] spans VN⊗3, so T1T2T1=T2T1T2 on the whole tensor cube.

2.1givenF1step 1.1algebra∎

At q=1, η=0 and the three defining branches reduce to the flip, including the equal-label branch. At q=−1, η=0, so the quadratic relation becomes T2=I, while the equal-label formula gives T(ea⊗ea)=−ea⊗ea; this distinguishes that specialization from the ordinary flip.
