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.

Exceptional parabolic-orbit length certificates for E6, E7, E8, F4, H3 and H4

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice), used only to install the basic degrees through Basic degrees, exponents, and the graded coinvariant algebra of a finite Coxeter system and A regular Coxeter eigenvector determines the basic degrees: the exponent-residue identification and the complete degree tables for all finite Coxeter types.

Let (W,S) be the irreducible finite Coxeter system of one of the types E6,E7,E8,F4,H3,H4 with its canonical reflection representation and positive definite Coxeter form (The real Coxeter form, its radical, reflections, and form-preserving maps, The canonical reflection homomorphism, roots, reflections, and the positive cone, Classification of finite Coxeter systems, including the H and dihedral families, Coxeter diagrams: edges, labels, components and finite type). In each type let s0 be the deleted node and T=S∖{s0} the parabolic complement recorded in the exact certificate file research/coxeter-scaffold/math-checks/finite-degree-poincare-certificates.json. Its diagrams have edges E6:(0,1),(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(2,5); E7:(0,1),(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5),(2,6); E8:(0,1),…,(5,6),(2,7) all labelled 3; F4:(0,1),(1,2),(2,3) with (1,2) labelled 4; H3:(0,1),(1,2) with (0,1) labelled 5; and H4:(0,1),(1,2),(2,3) with (0,1) labelled 5. The deleted nodes are 0,5,6,0,2,3, respectively. By the intrinsic parabolic presentation in Support, intrinsic parabolic presentations, minimal coset representatives and length additivity, with the type-A identification (2) and the classification, the resulting Coxeter systems (WT,T) have types E6⊃D5,E7⊃E6,E8⊃E7,F4⊃B3,H3⊃I2(5),H4⊃H3.

(1) The certificate. For each type, the certificate records the exact coefficient field Q, Q(2) with 22=2, or Q(φ) with φ=2cos⁡(π/5) and φ2=φ+1 (the edge scalars are derived in [F7]); the labelled diagram, deleted node, orbit W⋅f0 of the dual fundamental functional f0 of that node, one exact coordinate for every orbit point, the image index for every generator at every orbit point, an applied word reaching every orbit point and its distance, the Coxeter-applied sequence, the exact matrix of the induced dual action in dual-simple-root coordinates, and its characteristic polynomial. The dual simple-reflection matrices are determined exactly by the recorded diagram and the coordinate action in [F2], but are not stored as separate fields. The recorded orbit sizes and quotient polynomials ∑v∈W⋅f0td(v) are type∣W⋅f0∣∑vtd(v)parabolic type of WTE627[9]t(1+t4+t8)D5E756[14]t(1+t5)(1+t9)E6E8240[30]t(1+t6)(1+t10)(1+t12)E7F424[8]t(1+t4+t8)B3H312[6]t(1+t5)I2(5)H4120[30]t(1+t6)(1+t10)H3

(2) The lengths are the distances. For each type the recorded function d satisfies ∣d(sv)−d(v)∣≤1 at every generator and orbit point, the recorded words attain every recorded value, and the orbit is closed under all generators. Consequently d equals the minimal-coset-length distance of The orbit of a dual fundamental functional: stabilizer, minimal coset length, Schreier distance, and the quotient formula (2)-(3), and PW(t)=PWT(t)⋅∑v∈W⋅f0td(v).

(3) Degree comparison and the Poincare product for the six types. The basic degrees of A regular Coxeter eigenvector determines the basic degrees: the exponent-residue identification and the complete degree tables for all finite Coxeter types (2) are D(W)={2,5,6,8,9,12} for E6, {2,6,8,10,12,14,18} for E7, {2,8,12,14,18,20,24,30} for E8, {2,6,8,12} for F4, {2,6,10} for H3, and {2,12,20,30} for H4. For the six parabolics, respectively, the degree multisets are D(WT)={2,4,5,6,8}, {2,5,6,8,9,12}, {2,6,8,10,12,14,18}, {2,4,6}, {2,5}, and {2,6,10}, from the same degree suppliers. The certificate verifies coefficientwise that (∑v∈W⋅f0td(v))∏d′∈D(WT)[d′]t=∏d∈D(W)[d]t. Therefore, by (2) and induction on rank along B3→F4, I2(5)→H3→H4, and D5→E6→E7→E8, whose initial parabolics are covered by Classical Poincare products for A, B, D and I2(m) from the permutation and signed-permutation models (3), one has PW(t)=∏d∈D(W)[d]t=∏i=1∣S∣(1+t+⋯+tdi−1) for each of the six exceptional types. The six quotient expressions in (1) agree coefficientwise with the corresponding identities and the certificate's exact distance histograms.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The certificate file research/coxeter-scaffold/math-checks/finite-degree-poincare-certificates.json (version 1, exact arithmetic over the stated fields and no floating point), its six case records with the diagrams, deleted nodes, fields, orbit data, degree multisets and check flags, and for each type the Coxeter system (W,S), its canonical reflection representation ρ on V=RS with Coxeter form B, and the dual fundamental functional f0=es0∗.

[F1]

B(es,es)=1 and B(es,et)=−cos⁡(π/m(s,t)) for s≠t; the reflection is ra(v)=v−2B(v,a)B(a,a)a, is a B-preserving linear involution, and res(et)=et+2cos⁡(π/m(s,t))es for t≠s (The real Coxeter form, its radical, reflections, and form-preserving maps (2)-(3), Reflections: involutivity, form invariance, fixed hyperplane, and exact rank-two order (2)).

[F2]

In dual simple-root coordinates ft:=f(et), the dual simple reflection s⋅f=f(ρ(s)−1⋅) acts by fs↦−fs and ft↦ft+2cos⁡(π/m(s,t))fs for t≠s; this is the dual action of The orbit of a dual fundamental functional: stabilizer, minimal coset length, Schreier distance, and the quotient formula, under which W⋅f0 is the orbit of the certificate's seed coordinate.

[F3]

Each table orbit size is the finite cardinality of the listed certificate states (The cardinality ∣A∣ of a finite set). For the orbit of a dual fundamental functional, d(v) is the minimal length in the corresponding left coset wWT (Left and right cosets gH and Hg of a subgroup), equals graph distance in the Schreier graph, satisfies ∣d(s⋅v)−d(v)∣≤1, and PW=PWT∑vtd(v) (The orbit of a dual fundamental functional: stabilizer, minimal coset length, Schreier distance, and the quotient formula (2)-(4)).

[F5]

The classical products PB3=[2]t[4]t[6]t, PI2(5)=[2]t[5]t, and PD5=[2]t[4]t[5]t[6]t[8]t are proved in Classical Poincare products for A, B, D and I2(m) from the permutation and signed-permutation models (3).

[F6]

The six diagrams are the standard E6,E7,E8,F4,H3,H4 diagrams of the classification, so W is finite and the Coxeter form is positive definite (hence its Gram matrix is invertible); deleting the stated node leaves the displayed standard parabolic diagram, and Support, intrinsic parabolic presentations, minimal coset representatives and length additivity, with the type-A identification (2) identifies the subgroup generated by that node set with the Coxeter system on the restricted matrix. In particular WT is finite as a subgroup of W (Classification of finite Coxeter systems, including the H and dihedral families (1), Coxeter diagrams: edges, labels, components and finite type (1)-(2)).

[F7]

Exact arithmetic in the three coefficient fields. For m=3,4,5, put xm=2cos⁡(π/m)>0; positivity follows from 0<π/m<π/2, strict decrease of cosine on [0,π], and cos⁡(π/2)=0 (Pi as twice the smallest positive zero of cosine, Signs, monotonicity intervals, and ranges of sine and cosine, Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi). The power-series definition gives cos⁡0=1, and the cosine addition formulas and parity give Ck+1=2cCk−Ck−1 for Ck=cos⁡(kθ), C0=1, and C1=c=cos⁡θ, so C3=4c3−3c and C5=16c5−20c3+5c (Sine and cosine defined by their real power series, The addition formulas for sine and cosine, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine). At θ=π/3, C3=cos⁡π=−1 gives (x3−1)2(x3+2)=0, hence x3=1. At θ=π/4, the double-angle identity and cos⁡(π/2)=0 give x42=2, so x4=2 by positivity and uniqueness of the nonnegative square root (Double-angle and quadratic power-reduction identities, Square roots exist: a unique a≥0 with (a)2=a; the positives are {x2:x≠0}). At θ=π/5, C5=cos⁡π=−1 gives (x5+2)(x52−x5−1)2=0, hence x52=x5+1; setting φ=x5 gives the stated real quadratic field relation. Thus the edge scalars are 1 for label 3, 2 for label 4, and φ for label 5.

[F8]

The characteristic polynomial of the recorded bipartite Coxeter matrix is computed from exact matrix entries by the adjugate/Newton trace argument and agrees with the polynomial recorded in the certificate (The six exceptional Coxeter spectra: characteristic polynomials, orders and spectral exponents from exact matrices (Statement), Proof (2.1), (3.1), (4.1), (6.1)).

Data and dual matrices. For each of the six rows, [F6] identifies the recorded diagram with the standard diagram of the type and the recorded parabolic with the stated type, and the deleted nodes of the statement are exactly the certificate's deleted-node entries. By [F7] every edge scalar is exact in the recorded coefficient field; [F2] then gives the exact dual simple-reflection matrices in dual simple-root coordinates, while nonedges have scalar 2cos⁡(π/2)=0. The script applies these matrices to the seed coordinate vector, performs exact breadth-first search, and records each state, each generator image, an attaining word and its graph distance. The certificate matrix is for the dual action. If Rt is a canonical simple-reflection matrix and G is the Gram matrix, then RtTGRt=G and Rt2=I by [F1], so its dual matrix RtT=GRtG−1. Multiplying in the same recorded order shows that the dual-action Coxeter matrix is similar to the canonical Coxeter matrix; thus their characteristic polynomials agree. The canonical characteristic polynomial is the exact trace result of [F8], and the certificate also checks its cyclotomic factorization. The seven certificate flags (orbit closure, word upper bounds, edge-distance lower bounds, reflection involutions, the Poincare product identity, the cyclotomic spectrum identity, and the final characteristic recurrence) are true; rerunning the script reproduces the certificate byte for byte. Thus these are exact coordinate computations, with no floating-point approximation.

The recorded lengths are the distances. Fix one of the six types. The recorded state set contains the seed and is closed under every generator, and every recorded state is reached from the seed by its recorded generator sequence; hence it is exactly the orbit W⋅f0. Let d′ be the recorded distance. Each recorded word has length d′, so the graph distance d is at most d′. Conversely, the certificate verifies that d′ changes by at most one along every generator edge and vanishes at the seed; summing this bound along any edge path gives d′≤d. Therefore d′=d, which by [F3] is the minimal left-coset length. The recorded orbit sizes and distance polynomials are thus correct, and [F3] gives PW=PWT∑vtd(v).

Degree comparison and induction. The exact coefficient check of the Poincare product identity agrees with the degree multisets of [F4]. The six identities reduce to [4]t(1+t4+t8)=[12]t, [5]t(1+t5)=[10]t, [9]t(1+t9)=[18]t, [6]t(1+t6)=[12]t, [10]t(1+t10)=[20]t, and [12]t(1+t12)=[24]t, where [n]t=1+t+⋯+tn−1; multiplying by the corresponding parabolic degree products gives exactly the six ambient degree products in the statement. Using the quotient factorization established in step 2.1, each identity converts a known PWT into PW. For F4, [F5] gives PB3=[2]t[4]t[6]t, and the first relation gives PF4=[2]t[6]t[8]t[12]t. For H3, [F5] gives PI2(5)=[2]t[5]t, and the second relation gives PH3=[2]t[6]t[10]t; the fourth and fifth relations then give PH4=[2]t[12]t[20]t[30]t. For E6, [F5] gives PD5=[2]t[4]t[5]t[6]t[8]t, and the first relation gives PE6=[2]t[5]t[6]t[8]t[9]t[12]t; the second and third relations give PE7=[2]t[6]t[8]t[10]t[12]t[14]t[18]t; the fourth, fifth and sixth relations give PE8=[2]t[8]t[12]t[14]t[18]t[20]t[24]t[30]t. Each result is ∏d∈D(W)[d]t=∏i=1∣S∣(1+t+⋯+tdi−1). Choice enters only through the degree determinations of [F4]; the certificate's orbit and distance verification is choice-free.
