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.

A two-dimensional module and its Taft-algebra dual

Example

Let N>1, let k be a field with char⁡(k)∤N, and fix a primitive Nth root of unity ζ∈k. Use the Taft Hopf algebra TN(k,ζ) with generators g,x, relations gN=1, xN=0, gx=ζxg, coproduct Δ(g)=g⊗g, Δ(x)=1⊗x+x⊗g, counit ε(g)=1, ε(x)=0, and antipode S(g)=g−1, S(x)=−xg−1. The example checks a two-dimensional module and computes its left-dual action.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: N,k,ζ and the displayed Taft Hopf algebra structure, a vector space V=kv0⊕kv1, and the algebraic dual basis v0,v1.

[F1]

The module category of a bialgebra and its tensor action: a left H-module is unital, and tensor products use the coproduct action.

[F2]

The left dual of a finite-dimensional Hopf module: the candidate dual action is (h⋅f)(v)=f(S(h)v).

[F3]

Evaluation, coevaluation, and triangle identities for left duals: for finite-dimensional modules, evaluation, coevaluation, and both triangle maps are H-linear/identities.

[F4]

Linear functionals and the algebraic dual V∗=L(V,F) defines V∗ as the space of linear functionals. Here the dual coordinates are v0(av0+bv1)=a and v1(av0+bv1)=b, so vi(vj)=δij. Linearity gives f=f(v0)v0+f(v1)v1 for every f∈V∗, so these functionals span V∗.

[A1]

The Taft algebra has exactly the displayed generator relations and structural maps; in particular S(x)=−xg−1.

Verification

Given: The data in Facts & Assumptions.

1.1A1F1givenalgebra

Define gv0=v0, gv1=ζ−1v1, xv0=0, and xv1=v0. Since ζN=1, gN fixes both basis vectors; since x2=0 and N>1, xN=0. On v0, both gx and ζxg vanish; on v1, gxv1=gv0=v0 and ζxgv1=ζx(ζ−1v1)=v0. Thus all defining algebra relations hold, so V is a left TN(k,ζ)-module under the supplied presentation [A1].

2.1A1F2F4step 1.1

The dual action gives g⋅v0=v0 and g⋅v1=ζv1, since S(g)=g−1. Also x⋅v0=−ζv1: evaluated on v1 it is v0(S(x)v1)=v0(−xg−1v1)=−ζ, and on v0 it is zero. The functional x⋅v1 vanishes on both basis vectors, so x⋅v1=0.

3.1A1F3step 2.1algebra

On v0,v1, the dual action satisfies gN=1 and xN=0. For the cross relation, on v0 both gx and ζxg give −ζ2v1, and on v1 both give zero. Hence the displayed action is a left TN(k,ζ)-module action. The module is finite-dimensional, so its evaluation and coevaluation maps satisfy the identities in [F3]; explicitly the coevaluation is v0⊗v0+v1⊗v1.

4.1F3F4step 2.1step 3.1∎

Theorem [F3] applies to this finite-dimensional Hopf module and proves the evaluation and coevaluation maps are H-linear. The triangle maps send vj to ∑ivivi(vj)=vj and vj to ∑ivj(vi)vi=vj by [F4]. Thus the computed dual has the specified evaluation, coevaluation, and triangle identities.
