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.
Gallagher correspondence for an extendible type
Statement
Let be finite, , , and . Assume that a representation affording has a fixed extension to . Then is a bijection. Composing it with induction to gives a bijection onto , and the corresponding -character has ramification index over .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The groups, modules, characters, and hypotheses in the statement. All representations here are finite-dimensional complex left representations.
An extension retains the space and the given -action, is an actual group representation, and is automatically irreducible. (An extension of a normal subgroup representation).
For a finite -isotypical -module , evaluation is an isomorphism; submodules correspond to unique multiplicity subspaces, and maps to linear maps of those spaces. (Isotypical evaluation and multiplicity subspaces).
An action with in its kernel descends uniquely to , preserving irreducibility in both directions. (A representation with kernel containing a normal subgroup factors through the quotient, and irreducibility is unchanged by inflation).
An irreducible inertia module lying over its invariant type restricts to copies of that type, by the one-orbit restriction result applied to . (Normal restriction has one orbit of constituents).
Induction bijects the irreducible inertia modules above with the irreducible -modules above , with inverse the -component. (Clifford correspondence).
Ramification is the dimension of , equivalently the multiplicity of . (Clifford ramification index).
The character of a tensor product of finite-dimensional complex representations of a finite group is the product of the characters. (Characters add on direct sums, multiply on tensor products, and conjugate on duals).
Proof
Write for the fixed extension on . For any -isotypical -module , put and define . For , one has , so . Thus the formula stays in .
The action law holds because , and the identity acts identically. For , by -linearity. Hence acts trivially on and this is a representation of .
The evaluation isomorphism is -equivariant for the diagonal action on : . Every -submodule is for a unique . Since is invertible, its translate is . Uniqueness shows that this submodule is -stable exactly when is stable under . For nonzero , the multiplicity space is nonzero, so is irreducible if and only if is irreducible.
Conversely start with a quotient module and form . The map , where , is an isomorphism by the evaluation lemma and scalar-coordinate identification. The action constructed above satisfies . Therefore this recovers the quotient module, and step 3.1 proves irreducibility for every irreducible parameter. An isomorphism of -modules induces an isomorphism of their Hom spaces by composition, respecting the quotient action; thus distinct quotient parameters cannot give isomorphic -modules.
Every irreducible -module above is -isotypical, so steps 1.1–3.1 apply and its evaluation isomorphism supplies the required tensor form. This proves exhaustivity as well as injectivity. Taking tensor-product characters yields the stated character map.
Clifford correspondence now supplies the bijection after induction. Its inverse identifies the -component with the inducing tensor module, whose restriction to is copies of . Thus its ramification index is . If , the quotient is trivial and only occurs; if , induction is identity. An extension was assumed throughout, not obtained merely from invariance.
