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.
Translation functors are exact and biadjoint
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). For every finite-dimensional -semisimple -module the translation functor (Translation functors by tensoring and projection) is exact, and is both a left and a right adjoint of ; in particular both functors send projectives to projectives and injectives to injectives. Consequently, in the setting of Translation functors by tensoring and projection, is both a left and a right adjoint of , and the two functors are exact.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, finite-dimensional -semisimple -modules , generalized central characters , and the translation functors .
The functors , are exact and ; and are exact endofunctors of ; hence and are exact (Generalized central-character decomposition of O, Finite-dimensional tensoring preserves O, Translation functors by tensoring and projection).
For a -module and the tensor-Hom adjunction gives natural isomorphisms and , where is the linear dual with its standard contragredient action (Finite-dimensional tensoring preserves O, Weight and weight space).
For and the block decomposition gives natural isomorphisms and (Generalized central-character decomposition of O).
An object is projective exactly when is exact, and is injective exactly when is exact; a left adjoint of an exact functor carries projectives to projectives, and a right adjoint of an exact functor carries injectives to injectives (Projective object, Injective object).
Proof
Each of and is a composite of exact functors by [F1], hence exact.
For and the natural isomorphisms of [F3] and [F2] compose to , natural in and , so is left adjoint to .
Composing the other pair of isomorphisms gives , natural in and , so is also right adjoint to ; equivalently is both a left and a right adjoint of .
By [F4] a left adjoint of the exact functor carries projectives to projectives, so preserves projectives; symmetrically preserves projectives as a left adjoint of the exact . A right adjoint of an exact functor preserves injectives, so each of the two functors preserves injectives.
Specializing and gives that is both a left and a right adjoint of and that both are exact, which is the stated consequence.

23 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
