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.
Green indecomposability for index-p integral induction
Statement
Let be a splitting -modular system whose residue field is algebraically closed. Let with , and let be a nonzero indecomposable -lattice. Then is an indecomposable -lattice.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The modular system, algebraically closed residue field, groups, and lattice in the Statement.
Indecomposable group lattices have local endomorphism rings, and finite direct sums satisfy Krull--Schmidt (Krull-Schmidt holds for finite-rank OH-lattices).
Induction here is induction of finite-free integral lattices as in Relative projectivity and vertices for integral group lattices.
Algebraic closedness means every nonconstant polynomial over has a root (An algebraically closed field: every nonconstant polynomial has a root in the field).
Proof
Put and let . This is a subgroup containing , so the prime-index hypothesis gives or . By F1, is local. Its residue division ring is finite-dimensional over ; F3 makes it equal to , because every element satisfies a split polynomial and a division ring has no nonzero zero divisors.
Suppose . On restriction to , is the direct sum of the pairwise nonisomorphic conjugates of . Krull--Schmidt and step 1.1 identify the semisimple quotient of its -endomorphism ring with : diagonal entries reduce modulo the local radicals, while every map between distinct indecomposable summands belongs to the categorical radical. Conjugation by a generator of cyclically permutes these factors. An -endomorphism idempotent therefore has image or in . In the first case the idempotent lies in the Jacobson radical and is zero; in the second its complement does, so it is one. Thus has no nontrivial -endomorphism idempotent and is indecomposable.
Suppose . Choose isomorphisms among the conjugate summands. They identify the semisimple quotient of with . The action of a generator of on this quotient is conjugation by a matrix that cyclically permutes the diagonal primitive idempotents. Its th power is scalar, say . By F3 choose with ; in characteristic , . The cyclic permutation of the diagonal idempotents makes cyclic of degree , so its Jordan form is one block and a local algebra.
Every -endomorphism of is an -endomorphism fixed by this conjugation. Hence an -endomorphism idempotent maps to an idempotent in the local centralizer computed in step 2.2, and that image is or . The kernel of the reduction to lies in the Jacobson radical of the -endomorphism ring; an idempotent in it is zero, and the same argument applied to the complement handles image . Thus again only and occur, so is indecomposable. The two inertia cases are exhaustive. The nonzero hypothesis excludes the zero lattice, and the proof uses only finite decompositions; algebraic closedness is used exactly in steps 1.1 and 2.2, not as a hidden choice principle.
