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.
Induction commutes with inflation along a normal subgroup
Statement
Let be a normal subgroup of the finite group , let , write , , and let , , be the quotient map. For every finite-dimensional complex -module there is an isomorphism of complex -modules
In particular, if , if is a one-dimensional -module and is irreducible, then the inflation of to is a monomial irreducible -module: it is induced from the one-dimensional representation of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite group , a normal subgroup , a subgroup with quotient , the quotient map , and a finite-dimensional complex -module . For the final clause is an arbitrary subgroup of , , and is one-dimensional with irreducible.
for a subgroup and an -module , with . (The induced -linear -module as -covariant functions on ).
For a representation of the inflation to is the composite with ; it has the same underlying space, the action of is that of the coset , and consequently acts trivially. (An extension of a normal subgroup representation).
consists of the cosets , the quotient map is a surjective homomorphism, and exactly when . (The quotient group and coset product ).
A representation of on which acts trivially descends uniquely to , and it is irreducible as an -representation exactly when it is irreducible as an -representation. (A representation with kernel containing a normal subgroup factors through the quotient, and irreducibility is unchanged by inflation).
A nonzero -module is monomial when it is isomorphic to for a subgroup and a one-dimensional -module (Monomial representations, monomial characters, and M-groups). Inflation leaves the underlying vector space unchanged by [F2].
means that for all , ; in particular is a subgroup. (Normal subgroup: invariance under conjugation).
For and any -module on which acts trivially, for every vector .
Proof
Since by [F6] and , the quotient is a group and is a homomorphism ; hence the -action on the inflated module, which is the -action through by [F2], is well defined. For define by . If , then by [F3], so ; hence by [F1].
is -linear, and it is injective: if , then for every , and every element of is some by [F3], so .
is surjective. Given , define by . This is well defined: if , then with by [F3], so by [A1] and [F2]. Moreover is -covariant, since for one has for any with image , so and .
is -equivariant: for and as in step 1.1, , using [F3] and the action rules of [F1].
Steps 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 show that is a -equivariant -linear bijection, which is the asserted isomorphism. For the final clause let , put , let be one-dimensional with irreducible, and note and . By the isomorphism just proved the inflation of is isomorphic to , and is one-dimensional because it has the same underlying space as by [F2]; the inflation is irreducible because inflation preserves irreducibility in both directions by [F4] and is irreducible. Hence it is a monomial irreducible -module induced from the one-dimensional -module by [F5].
