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 global block of defect D determines a local block of defect D
Statement
Fix a -subgroup and . If the block has as a defect group, there is a unique block of among the blocks having defect group that induces to . Its idempotent is . This argument is choice-free.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A splitting residue field and the stated global block of defect .
Normal -subgroups fix central idempotents under Brauer projection by Normal p-subgroups fix block idempotents under Brauer projection.
Maximal Brauer pairs exist and are conjugate gives a maximal pair and writes the Brauer image as the sum of its distinct normalizer conjugates.
Maximal Brauer pairs detect defect groups identifies its subgroup as a defect group.
Defect groups are maximal Brauer support gives maximality of nonzero support and containment in conjugate defect groups.
Centralizer containment makes block induction well-defined defines every block induction here and identifies its character by the Brauer projection.
Modular block central characters correspond to blocks identifies blocks by their central characters.
Brauer homomorphism for a p subgroup gives coefficient projection and its identity on centralizing coefficients.
Proof
Take a maximal -pair from F2. By F3 its subgroup is a defect group. Apply F4 to and in both directions: their orders agree, and is conjugate to . Conjugate the pair to have subgroup literally . Then F2 gives as the sum of one -orbit of primitive central idempotents of . It is nonzero, idempotent and -invariant, hence central in .
Suppose is a central idempotent of beneath . Since , F1 gives . It is central in that algebra, since . Thus is a sum of a subset of the primitive idempotents in step 1.1. Centrality in makes this subset -stable, and one transitive orbit has only the empty and whole stable subsets. Hence or . So is primitive in and defines a block . Moreover . If were a -subgroup of with , F7 and would give , contradicting F4 for . Therefore F4, now in , proves is a defect group of .
Since , F5 defines and gives . F6 therefore identifies . Conversely, if a block of with defect group induces to , F5 gives . Since is primitive by step 2.1, F6 forces . This proves uniqueness in the stated defect- domain as well as the promised existence. For , and the construction gives ; the same holds whenever by F1. All chosen pairs, subgroups and idempotent subsets lie in finite sets; no AC or stronger restriction-summand theorem was used.
