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 balanced-triple linear algebra over P1

Statement

Let V be finite-dimensional over Q(q), let M⊂V be an A=Z[q,q−1]-submodule spanning V, and let L0,L∞ be full free A0- and A∞-lattices in V. Write E=M∩L0∩L∞ and use the balanced-triple language of Balanced triples over the two charts of P1 and the globalization map.

(1) If the canonical Z-linear map E→(M∩L0)/(M∩qL0) is an isomorphism, then M∩L0≅Z[q]⊗ZE,M∩L∞≅Z[q−1]⊗ZE,M≅A⊗ZE, and the infinity residue map E→(M∩L∞)/(M∩q−1L∞) is also an isomorphism; moreover A0⊗ZE≅L0 and A∞⊗ZE≅L∞ under the maps induced by inclusions. If E has a finite Z-basis, these are actual free bases of M,L0,L∞ over A,A0,A∞. No containment M⊂L0∩L∞ and no freeness of M/E is assumed.

(2) If a Z-module F maps into M∩L0∩L∞, generates M over A, and maps injectively into both rational residues L0/qL0 and L∞/q−1L∞, then F≅E≅(M∩L0)/(M∩qL0).

(3) More generally, let N⊂M be an A-submodule whose integral intersection EN=N∩L0∩L∞ satisfies N≅A⊗ZEN. If a Z-module F maps to M∩(L0+N)∩(L∞+N), generates M modulo N over A, and maps injectively into (L0+QN)/(qL0+QN) and (L∞+QN)/(q−1L∞+QN), then M is balanced. The sequence 0→(N∩L0)/(N∩qL0)→(M∩L0)/(M∩qL0)→(L0+QN)/(qL0+QN) is exact, and its last image is the image of F. If F and EN are finite free Z-modules, then so is EM=M∩L0∩L∞, and M is free over A.

These are the integral forms of Kashiwara's chart lemmas, in the notation of Balanced triples over the two charts of P1 and the globalization map; their rational base extension gives the usual A0/A∞ criterion, and no containment of charts or freeness of M is assumed anywhere.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A finite-dimensional Q(q)-space V, an A-submodule M⊆V spanning V, full free chart lattices L0,L∞ over A0,A∞, and the balanced-triple data of Balanced triples over the two charts of P1 and the globalization map.

[F1]

Balanced-triple data (Balanced triples over the two charts of P1 and the globalization map): E=M∩L0∩L∞; the canonical maps E→(M∩L0)/(M∩qL0) and E→(M∩L∞)/(M∩q−1L∞); the rings A=Z[q,q−1], A0 with uniformizer q and residue field Q, and A∞ with uniformizer q−1 and residue field Q; L0 and L∞ are free and generate V.

[F2]

Chart calculus: a free A0-lattice in a finite-dimensional Q(q)-space spans it over Q(q), so every vector has finite vanishing/pole order, and qL0⊆L0, q−1L∞⊆L∞.

[A1]

The hypothesis used only in part (1): the canonical map E→(M∩L0)/(M∩qL0) is an isomorphism.

Proof

technique · direct, using finite pole orders and the two residue injections
1.1A1F1F2algebra

Since q±1M=M, we have M∩qL0=q(M∩L0), and similarly at infinity. Under [A1], E∩qL0=0. For x∈M∩L0 surjectivity gives x=e+qx1 with e∈E and x1∈M∩L0. If also x∈qnL∞ with n≥1, then e∈qnL∞ and x1∈qn−1L∞. Induction, starting with M∩L0∩L∞=E, therefore gives M∩L0∩qnL∞=∑k=0nqkE. The sum is direct: in a vanishing sum its constant coefficient belongs to E∩qL0=0, and division by q removes successive coefficients.

1.2F1algebra

For (2), identify F with its image, since its residue map is injective. In any finite Laurent sum x=∑kqkfk with fk∈F, the least exponent cannot be negative when x∈L0: multiplying by its inverse power gives a constant coefficient in F∩qL0=0. Removing that coefficient repeatedly proves M∩L0=Z[q]F. The mirror argument at infinity gives M∩L∞=Z[q−1]F. These expressions are unique by the same residue injections, so the simultaneous intersection is F, and its integral residue map is an isomorphism. This proves (2); only the integral residue, rather than the entire rational residue, is identified with F.

2.1step 1.1F2algebra

Every vector has finite infinity-pole order, so step 1.1 gives M∩L0=Z[q]⊗ZE. Clearing a vector's zero-pole order by a power of q gives M=AE≅A⊗ZE. Also E∩q−1L∞=0: if e lies there, then qe∈E∩qL0=0. In a Laurent expansion of x∈M∩L∞, a largest positive exponent n would give, after multiplication by q−n, a nonzero coefficient in E∩q−1L∞; hence no such exponent occurs. Thus M∩L∞=Z[q−1]⊗ZE, with infinity residue E.

2.2F1step 1.2algebra

For (3), the assumed canonical isomorphism A⊗EN→N forces EN to inject into both chart residues. Indeed, if e∈EN∩qL0, then q−1e∈EN as well, contradicting Laurent independence unless e=0; the mirror argument handles infinity. Apply (2) to N in its field span, with the induced lattices, to obtain its balancedness and N=(N∩L0)+(N∩L∞). If x=l0+n0=l∞+n∞ lies in M∩(L0+N)∩(L∞+N), write n0−n∞=a+b with a∈N∩L0 and b∈N∩L∞. Then x−(n0−a)=l0+a=l∞−b is a simultaneous lift. Thus this intersection is N+EM.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1F1algebra

The injection E→L0/qL0 extends injectively over Q, by clearing integer denominators. A rational basis e1,…,et of QE has field-independent images: a rational-function dependence, after clearing denominators, would be a polynomial dependence, contradicting step 1.1. Since M=AE spans V, this family is a field basis of V, so t=dim⁡V. Its residues are a rational basis of L0/qL0; expressing the ej in a free chart basis yields a square matrix invertible modulo q, hence with determinant a unit in A0. Its adjugate gives L0=A0E and the asserted tensor isomorphism. The same argument uses the infinity injection in step 2.1 to give L∞=A∞E. This proves (1), including its finite-free conclusions.

3.2step 1.2step 2.2algebra

First restrict to a finitely generated subgroup F′⊆F and M′=N+Aφ(F′). The quotient-residue injection makes F′ torsionfree, hence a finite free abelian group. Modify the images of a finite basis of F′ by elements of N, using step 2.2, to obtain simultaneous lifts. Together with EN they generate M′. Their direct sum injects into L0/qL0: a vanishing residue first has zero F′ coordinate by the injection into (L0+QN)/(qL0+QN), and then has zero EN coordinate by step 2.2. The infinity proof is identical. Criterion (2) now gives EM′≅EN⊕F′ and balancedness of M′.

4.1step 3.1step 3.2algebra∎

Every element of M belongs to some such M′, because its expression modulo N uses finitely many images of F. The preceding balancedness proves injectivity and surjectivity of the residue map for M element by element. Its residue decompositions also prove the stated exact sequence: the kernel of the quotient-residue map is precisely the residue of N, and its image is precisely the image of F. When F and EN are finite free, take F′=F in step 3.2; then EM≅EN⊕F is finite free and (1) makes M free over A. This proves (3) and completes the lemma.

Source note

Kashiwara, On crystal bases (1991), Lemmas 7.1.1–7.1.2, printed pp. 509–512, supply the integral chart and relative criteria. Here QN means the rational span Q⊗ZN inside V, as in that source. The proof uses bounded pole orders; it never assumes that an infinity lattice is q-stable or that a Z[q]-intersection is an A0-submodule.
