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.
Every local full-defect block induces to a global block of defect D
Statement
Fix a -subgroup and . For every block with defect group , is defined and has defect group . Its idempotent satisfies . This proof is choice-free.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite groups, splitting residue field and nonzero local block.
Centralizer containment makes block induction well-defined defines and gives its central character.
Defect groups are maximal Brauer support identifies defect groups with maximal nonzero support.
Idempotents lift through finite commutative quotients by Idempotents lift through finite commutative algebra quotients.
Brauer homomorphism is multiplicative gives the algebra homomorphism on fixed elements.
Brauer homomorphism for a p subgroup gives coefficient projection.
Sylow containment and conjugacy are Sylow II: in a finite group every -subgroup lies in a conjugate of any Sylow -subgroup, and the Sylow -subgroups form a single conjugacy class.
Modular block central characters correspond to blocks supplies the finite block idempotents and their identifying scalar values.
Proof
We first record the elementary normalizer condition: if are finite -groups, let act on by left multiplication. Nonfixed orbit sizes are divisible by , and is divisible by . The fixed points are and include the identity coset, so their positive cardinality is divisible by ; hence . Now if has nonzero coefficient in , F1 puts . By F7 take a Sylow subgroup of containing . If , its subgroup lies in and centralizes . The coefficient of survives by F6, contradicting F3 for the local block. Thus is Sylow in for every support element of .
Suppose also centralizes , with in that support. Both and are Sylow in : the first by step 1.1, and the second by equal order and . F7 supplies with . Then and . Since is central in , its coefficients at and agree. Therefore its coefficients are constant on every intersection of a -conjugacy class with , with zero throughout intersections missing the support. Give each full -class that common coefficient, zero for a class disjoint from . This finite class sum is with by F6.
By F5 the image of is a finite commutative quotient algebra. Its idempotent , present by step 2.1, lifts by F4 to a central idempotent . Write as a sum of distinct global primitive block idempotents using F8. Their Brauer images are orthogonal idempotents, central in because normalizes , and sum to . Since is primitive in , exactly one image equals and all others are zero. Let be that block idempotent and . F2 applies because and gives . F8 forces .
Its Brauer image at is nonzero. If had , put by step 1.1. Then . Since , F6 gives : a nonzero coefficient retained at is still retained at . This contradicts F3 for the local block . Thus no such exists, and F3 proves is a global defect group of . For the normalizer is , and the proof gives the original defect-zero block; when no local defect- block exists the universal assertion has no inputs. All lifting and subgroup selections here concern finite sets, so no AC or stronger Green restriction theorem is used.
