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 G be finite, N⊴G, θ∈Irr⁡(N), and I=IG(θ). Assume that a representation S affording θ has a fixed extension S~ to I. Then Irr⁡(I/N)⟶Irr⁡(I∣θ),η⟼χS~Inf⁡I/NIη is a bijection. Composing it with induction to G gives a bijection onto Irr⁡(G∣θ), and the corresponding G-character has ramification index η(1) over θ.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The groups, modules, characters, and hypotheses in the statement. All representations here are finite-dimensional complex left representations.

[F1]

An extension retains the space and the given N-action, is an actual group representation, and is automatically irreducible. (An extension of a normal subgroup representation).

[F2]

For a finite θ-isotypical N-module U, evaluation S⊗Hom⁡N(S,U)→U is an isomorphism; submodules correspond to unique multiplicity subspaces, and maps to linear maps of those spaces. (Isotypical evaluation and multiplicity subspaces).

[F3]

An action with N in its kernel descends uniquely to I/N, preserving irreducibility in both directions. (A representation with kernel containing a normal subgroup factors through the quotient, and irreducibility is unchanged by inflation).

[F4]

An irreducible inertia module lying over its invariant type θ restricts to copies of that type, by the one-orbit restriction result applied to I. (Normal restriction has one orbit of constituents).

[F5]

Induction bijects the irreducible inertia modules above θ with the irreducible G-modules above θ, with inverse the θ-component. (Clifford correspondence).

[F6]

Ramification is the dimension of Hom⁡N(S,V), equivalently the multiplicity of θ. (Clifford ramification index).

[F7]

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).

1.1F1givenalgebra

Write ρ(i) for the fixed extension on S. For any θ-isotypical I-module U, put M=Hom⁡N(S,U) and define (i⋅f)(s)=i⋅f(ρ(i)−1s). For n∈N, one has ρ(i)−1ρ(n)=ρ(i−1ni)ρ(i)−1, so (i⋅f)(ρ(n)s)=n⋅(i⋅f)(s). Thus the formula stays in M.

2.1F3step 1.1algebra

The action law holds because i⋅(j⋅f)(s)=ij⋅f(ρ(j)−1ρ(i)−1s)=((ij)⋅f)(s), and the identity acts identically. For n∈N, n⋅f(ρ(n)−1s)=f(s) by N-linearity. Hence N acts trivially on M and this is a representation of I/N.

3.1F2step 2.1algebra

The evaluation isomorphism is I-equivariant for the diagonal action on S⊗M: EU(ρ(i)s⊗(i⋅f))=i⋅f(s). Every N-submodule is EU(S⊗M0) for a unique M0⊆M. Since ρ(i) is invertible, its translate is EU(S⊗iM0). Uniqueness shows that this submodule is I-stable exactly when M0 is stable under I/N. For nonzero U, the multiplicity space is nonzero, so U is irreducible if and only if M is irreducible.

4.1F2step 1.1step 3.1

Conversely start with a quotient module M and form S~⊗Inf⁡M. The map m↦fm, where fm(s)=s⊗m, is an isomorphism M→Hom⁡N(S,S~⊗M) by the evaluation lemma and scalar-coordinate identification. The action constructed above satisfies i⋅fm=fim. Therefore this recovers the quotient module, and step 3.1 proves irreducibility for every irreducible parameter. An isomorphism of I-modules induces an isomorphism of their Hom spaces by composition, respecting the quotient action; thus distinct quotient parameters cannot give isomorphic I-modules.

5.1F4F7step 3.1step 4.1

Every irreducible I-module above θ is θ-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.

6.1F5F6step 5.1algebra∎

Clifford correspondence now supplies the bijection after induction. Its inverse identifies the θ-component with the inducing tensor module, whose restriction to N is dim⁡M=η(1) copies of S. Thus its ramification index is η(1). If I=N, the quotient is trivial and only S occurs; if I=G, induction is identity. An extension was assumed throughout, not obtained merely from invariance.
