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.
The rank-one Hecke parameter for equal torus characters
Statement
For Weyl-sorted , each simple exchanges two adjacent equal coordinates . The associated rank-one Levi has principal series on its factor, tensored with one-dimensional characters on the remaining torus factors, with constituent degrees . The canonical raw intertwiner has eigenvalues and . The normalized satisfies ; thus the parameter is exactly , and the normalization of Length-additive products of the standard intertwiners gives . For arbitrary this assertion holds for the transported generators after Weyl sorting. In particular the naive generator fails the parameter- relation when : for and the nontrivial character of , its eigenvalue on is , which is neither nor . No choice principle is used.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A Weyl-sorted character of the diagonal torus of with distinct , a simple reflection in the block of size , the characters and of , the idempotents and , and the operators , of Standard intertwining operators for the finite principal series and Length-additive products of the standard intertwiners.
For the block the standard basis element satisfies (The rank-one quadratic relation in the finite Hecke algebra, The Bruhat double-coset basis of the finite Hecke algebra).
The map is an algebra automorphism of with ; it sends to with , because for upper triangular (The group ring is a unital -algebra with basis , and each is a unit of , For same-sized finite square matrices over a commutative ring, , The determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of its diagonal entries, Length-additive products of the standard intertwiners, The principal series module for finite GL_n).

For the rank-one Levi attached to , the principal series of the restriction of is with a one-dimensional character of ; in particular its constituents have degrees and , and the constituent of degree is isomorphic to restricted to (The equal-coordinate rank-one principal series of GL_2, Compositions, partial flags, and standard parabolics, Block Levi decomposition of standard parabolics).
On the factor of the rank-one Levi, the idempotent models of and are and , respectively (Principal series endomorphisms as the chi-idempotent corner). The spherical operator has eigenvalues on the trivial constituent and on (The equal-coordinate rank-one principal series of GL_2).
Proof
Fix in block . Apply the algebra automorphism of [F2] to the block identity of [F1]: since is multiplicative and , one gets , that is because .
Write the rank-one Levi as with and carrying the character of [F4]. Covariant functions on this product satisfy , identifying its principal series with . Put on . The map of [F2] sends bijectively to and satisfies . It therefore identifies with and intertwines with , since . Here , the normalized operator. By [F5] its eigenvalues are and on the respective degree- and degree- constituents; tensoring with preserves these scalars. The raw intertwiner thus acts by and on those constituents.
On the module the idempotent acts as the identity, so the operator on this module satisfies ; in the ambient corner the element is corrected by the idempotent , whose right multiplication acts as the identity on , so the raw operator on satisfies with by [F3].
Put , which is the normalization of Length-additive products of the standard intertwiners; since , multiplying the relation of step 2.1 by gives . Hence the polynomial annihilates , so every eigenvalue of on any finite-dimensional constituent of lies in , and every eigenvalue of the raw operator lies in .
For the normalization, for , so the factor of Length-additive products of the standard intertwiners is exactly ; for an arbitrary the transported generators of that lemma inherit the relation through the sorting isomorphism. For and the nontrivial character of one has , so the raw eigenvalue on is , which is neither nor : the naive generator fails the parameter- relation.
Steps 1.1, 2.1 and 3.1 compute the rank-one quadratic relation with parameter exactly after normalization; step 1.2 identifies the two constituent degrees and eigenvalues, and step 4.1 records the normalizing cocharacter , the transport to arbitrary and the explicit failure of the naive normalization. All groups, idempotents and eigenvalues are explicit and finite, and no choice principle is used.
