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 trivial and Steinberg splitting on P^1(F_q)
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice, used through Tits deformation. For the spherical principal series is the permutation module of dimension , and it decomposes as where is the trivial representation and is the Steinberg representation of dimension ; both occur with multiplicity . Choose the noncanonical hook-length parametrisation so the Hecke character matches the trivial character and the sign character. Under this parametrisation of The constituents of the spherical principal series of GL_n the trivial representation corresponds to () and to (). The standard Hecke generator acts on by the scalar and on by the scalar , matching the two simple -modules of The two-dimensional Hecke algebra for GL_2(F_q).

as -modules, of dimension (The spherical principal series is the flag permutation module).
For the equal-coordinate character with one has with and each constituent of multiplicity one; the standard intertwiner acts by the scalar on the one-dimensional constituent and by on (The equal-coordinate rank-one principal series of GL_2).
The constituents of the spherical principal series are indexed by the partitions with multiplicities (The constituents of the spherical principal series of GL_n).
For the partitions are and , and the hook-length formula gives (The hook length formula).
The two-dimensional Hecke algebra of is isomorphic to with two simple modules, and the generator acts by on one and by on the other (The two-dimensional Hecke algebra for GL_2(F_q)).
Assume AC; the Tits-deformation isomorphism identifies the simple -modules with those of , so the partition labels above are attached through the noncanonical isomorphism (The Axiom of Choice, The finite Hecke algebra is non-canonically isomorphic to the group algebra of S_n).
Proof
By [F1] the module is of dimension . By [F2] it splits as with , both constituents of multiplicity one, and the standard intertwiner acts by on and by on .
By [F5] the Hecke algebra has exactly two simple modules, and acts on them by the scalars and ; these match the two constituents of step 1.1 through the identification .
By [F3] the constituents of the spherical principal series are indexed by the partitions , namely and , and by [F4] both occur with multiplicity , agreeing with the multiplicity-one splitting of step 1.1. Under the noncanonical Tits parametrisation we may choose the matching so that the Hecke character labels the trivial constituent and labels the sign character, hence corresponds to and to .
Steps 1.1, 2.1 and 3.1 give the splitting with , the multiplicity-one statement, the -eigenvalues and , and the partition labels under the noncanonical parametrisation. AC is carried only from the Tits-deformation supplier [F6], as declared.
