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.
Translation through the sl2 wall
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice).
Let with the coordinate on weights, so that has coordinate and the dot action of the wall reflection is . Take the single-wall translation datum : spans the negative chamber, is the wall , the translating weight is , and the reverse pair realizes the same central characters because and . Thus and are the same two functors.
The wall weight is not strictly antidominant, but its standard object is simple: in the action of on one has for , which is nonzero for every , so the only singular vector of is the top one; since every nonzero submodule of a Verma module contains a singular vector, . Its linkage class is the single weight , a one-element finite downward-closed ideal in which is maximal, so A maximal-label Verma is projective in its truncation applies: the wall standard is projective in its block .
Translation to the wall sends both standard objects of the regular block to the wall standard and kills the simple quotient: claim (1) of Translation to and from a single wall on standard modules gives and , and exactness applied to the nonsplit sequence shows while .
Translation from the wall is where the nonsplit extension appears: claim (2) of the same theorem with gives the projective object a Verma flag with the two factors and , each occurring once. Decomposing into indecomposables and using that the regular block has simple labels shows , and comparing flag multiplicities with the values and of The two projectives in the principal sl2 block gives , . Hence , the nonsplit extension : the wall standard is projective in its own block, but translating it back through the wall produces a two-step projective whose standard flag does not split.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, with the coordinate , the wall , the single-wall datum with translating weight and wall reflection , the regular integral block with simple labels and its projective objects , the wall block , and .
For the pair is a single-wall translation datum with spanning the negative chamber, on the wall, dot-stabilizer of , wall reflection acting by , and translating weight ; the reverse pair realizes the same central characters and the same functors, and , (Dot-Weyl facets and single-wall translation data, Translation functors by tensoring and projection).
Two weights have the same central character exactly when they lie in one dot orbit, and , ; in particular and the dot orbit of is (Central characters are dot-Weyl orbits, Dot-Weyl facets and single-wall translation data).
The rank-one model of the parent example has basis with ; with this is for all , so the only singular vector of is its top; every nonzero submodule of a Verma module contains a singular vector, so is simple and (The two projectives in the principal sl2 block, Every nonzero Verma submodule contains a singular vector, Finite Verma flags and their multiplicities).
The blocks are the full subcategories of objects whose simple composition factors have labels in one linkage class, and the block of is the full subcategory of objects whose simple composition factors are with ; by [F2] these are exactly the objects with all composition factors , that is, the truncation at the one-element finite downward-closed ideal , in which is maximal (Central-character summands refine into linkage blocks, Truncation at a finite downward-closed ideal of a linkage class, Central characters are dot-Weyl orbits).
Let be a finite downward-closed ideal of a linkage class and maximal. Then is projective in (A maximal-label Verma is projective in its truncation).
The regular integral block has simple labels and ; is projective and is the projective cover of ; has the projective cover , which fits into the nonsplit sequence ; and the flag multiplicities are , and , while because has the one-step flag (The two projectives in the principal sl2 block, Finite Verma flags and their multiplicities).
and has a finite Verma flag with exactly the two factors and , each with multiplicity one, for every (Translation to and from a single wall on standard modules).
The functors , are exact, both send projectives to projectives, and is left adjoint to (Translation functors are exact and biadjoint).
Every object of has finite length, hence is a finite direct sum of indecomposables; a direct summand of a projective object is projective; every indecomposable projective object has a unique maximal proper subobject, so its head is simple and the object is a projective cover of that head; and any two indecomposable projectives with isomorphic heads are isomorphic (Every object of O has finite length, Fitting decomposition in a finite-length abelian category, Projective covers in O are indecomposable and unique, Projective object characterisations).
The multiplicity is well defined for every Verma-filtered and is additive over direct sums: a Verma flag of and one of concatenate to a Verma flag of with the combined factors (Finite Verma flags and their multiplicities, Verma-flag multiplicities are independent of the flag).
Verification
By [F7] with and , using [F2] to evaluate and , the translated wall functor satisfies and ; by [F1] , so both standard objects of the regular block are sent to .
By [F4] and [F5], is projective in ; by [F8] its image under the left adjoint is projective in the regular block , and by [F7] with it has a finite Verma flag with the two factors and , each once, so .
By [F8] the functor is exact, so applying it to the nonsplit sequence of [F6] yields the exact sequence ; the first two terms are the simple by step 1.1 and [F3], and the first arrow is a monomorphism between these nonzero simple objects, hence an isomorphism. Thus the rightmost term is and, using [F3], .
By [F9] write with each an indecomposable object; each is projective because it is a direct summand of the projective , and its head is a simple object of , necessarily a composition factor of and hence or by [F6]; by [F6] and [F9] an indecomposable projective with head is isomorphic to and one with head is isomorphic to , so for integers .
The multiplicities are additive over direct sums by [F10]; with the values of [F6] and step 1.2 this gives and , so and .
Consequently , the nonsplit extension of [F6] with the two-step flag ; together with steps 1.1 and 2.1 this shows that translation to the wall sends and to the wall standard and annihilates the finite-dimensional simple , while the reverse translation of the wall standard is the projective , whose standard flag does not split.
