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.
Integral residues of the negative half: freeness, the crystal basis and the form characterization
Statement
Let be the integral residue lattice of The integral residue lattices and , with the canonical injection. Then the image of this injection is exactly ; in particular is a free -module with basis , and after tensoring with it is the full rational crystal space .
The normalized Kashiwara half form of The negative-half bilinear form is symmetric, nondegenerate and integral takes values on in and on in ; consequently its residue pairing on is -valued. In the residue basis the coefficients of an integral element are its integer pairings with the basis vectors, and the norm- elements of the integral residue are exactly . The Kashiwara operators preserve , hence induce endomorphisms of the integral residue subgroup. No -module structure on , no identification of the integral residue with the rational residue as a -module, and no unsigned norm- characterization is asserted; the module integral residue basis is established only in the globalization theorem of this page.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The negative half with its divided-power form , the crystal lattice and residue basis , and the integral residue lattice .
Integral residue lattice (The integral residue lattices and ): is a -module, with , and is injective; also .
Integral skew-string coefficients (Integral skew-string coefficients on the divided-power negative half): the string coefficients of the divided-power half are integral and both Kashiwara operators together with the skew derivations preserve .

Half form values (The negative-half bilinear form is symmetric, nondegenerate and integral, The Lusztig-Kashiwara bilinear form on the negative half: the recursion): is the unique normalized homogeneous form with ; its divided-power word denominator bound is -admissible, and .
Choice: the Axiom of Choice is inherited only through the supplied grand-loop and crystal-basis results (The Axiom of Choice); no additional selection is made in this item, and all stated bases are the supplied ones.
Proof
Integral representatives of the crystal basis. By [F2] every divided-power lowering word lies in , and by [F3] it lies in ; hence its class lies in and is a nonzero element of , and every is represented by such a word.
The value rings. The explicit rank-one divided-word norms and the word Gram expansion of [F5] show that every value on is a -combination of reciprocal products with bounded , i.e. lies in ; and every value on lies in by [F4]. The intersection is : clearing denominators in writes the value as a Laurent polynomial with denominator of constant term , regularity at forces the Laurent polynomial to have no negative powers, and evaluation at gives an integer. Hence the residue pairing of is -valued.
Integrality of coefficients against representatives. For with rational residue , choose for each an integral representative of from step 1.1 and pair modulo : by [F4] the residue form is the positive definite form with orthonormal basis , so modulo , and by [F5] this value lies in ; evaluating the resulting -element at gives an integer because consists of quotients with denominator . Hence every coefficient is an integer and the image of the injection of [F1] is contained in ; conversely finite integer combinations of the classes of the lie in the image, so the image is exactly .
Norm-one residue classes. For an integral residue , step 2.1 gives , and [F4] gives . This equals exactly when for one crystal element. This class statement does not characterize the exact norm of its lattice representatives: in rank one represents a crystal element but has norm . In particular an exact norm- lattice vector has a signed basis residue, while the converse need not hold.
Operator stability and conclusion. By [F2] and [F3] the operators preserve both and , hence preserve and descend to the integral residue subgroup, which by steps 1.1–1.2 is the free -module ; tensoring with gives the full rational crystal space by [F3]. Together with steps 2.1 and 3.1 this proves all the assertions, with the stated -valued pairing and signed norm- characterization.
