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.
Harish-Chandra induction is left adjoint to restriction
Statement
Let , let be a prime power and put . Let be a split parabolic subgroup of with Levi complement and unipotent radical , and let and be the Harish–Chandra induction and restriction functors attached to the pair (Harish-Chandra induction and restriction for finite general linear groups); all modules below are complex. Then is left adjoint to :
- Natural bijection. For every -linear -module and every -linear -module there is a bijection which is natural in and in .
- Description. Writing for the inflation of , that bijection is the composite of the Frobenius adjunction for the subgroup (Induction is left adjoint to restriction for finite-group modules over a commutative ring) with the map that sends a -linear to its restriction ; this restriction is -linear and takes values in the -invariants because acts trivially on .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An integer , a prime power , the group , a split parabolic subgroup of with Levi complement and unipotent radical , a -linear -module , a -linear -module , and the functors attached to .
Let be a commutative ring, a finite group, , an -linear -module and an -linear -module. Then there is a natural isomorphism (Induction is left adjoint to restriction for finite-group modules over a commutative ring).
Let a finite group be the internal semidirect product of a subgroup and a normal subgroup , so , and ; let , , be the corresponding surjective homomorphism with kernel . The inflation of an -module is with the -action , under which every element of acts as the identity and the -action is the given one (Harish-Chandra induction and restriction for finite general linear groups).
The Harish–Chandra induction is , the set of functions with and ; the Harish–Chandra restriction is with the -action (Harish-Chandra induction and restriction for finite general linear groups).
A morphism of -linear -modules is also -linear for the inflated actions, and postcomposition with defines a morphism ; the assignments and are additive functors (Harish-Chandra induction and restriction for finite general linear groups).
For a composition of the standard parabolic subgroup of has the Levi decomposition , so the constructions apply with , , ; a split parabolic subgroup is a conjugate , and for it the parabolic and its unipotent radical are part of the data (Harish-Chandra induction and restriction for finite general linear groups).
Proof
Frobenius adjunction for . By [L3] the Harish–Chandra induction is the composite functor , so with the adjunction of [L1], applied to the finite group , its subgroup , the -module and the -module , gives a natural bijection , where is viewed as a -module by restricting its -action.
Images of -linear maps lie in . Let be -linear, and . Since we have , and because every element of acts as the identity on the inflation by [L2]; hence for all , that is .
The identification with -linear maps into . Define by . This is well defined: a -linear map is -linear because , and it takes values in by step 1.2. It is injective: and have the same underlying set, so a -linear map is determined by its values on . It is surjective: for an -linear define for ; writing an arbitrary as with and , the unique factorisation available in with and by [L2], one computes where the middle steps use that acts trivially on and that lies in , and the last is the -action on of [L3]. Thus is -linear with , so is a bijection.
The composite is a natural bijection. Composing the bijections of steps 1.1 and 2.1 gives a bijection the target being by [L3]. It is natural in : for an -linear with induced -linear , the functoriality of [L4] gives , and because restricts to on the common underlying sets, the naturality of in its first variable gives for Naturality in is the same computation with postcomposition by a -linear : is natural in its second variable and maps into , so both composites send to . Hence is a natural bijection in both variables.
Adjunction. By step 3.1 the assignment is a bijection natural in and in , with as constructed from the definition of the functors and the published adjunction; this is exactly the assertion that is left adjoint to , and by [L5] it applies to every split parabolic subgroup of , standard or conjugate. ∎
Remark. Nothing in steps 1.1–3.1 uses that the coefficient ring is or that is proper: the identification of step 2.1 rests only on and on acting trivially on the inflation, so the same proof yields the adjunction over any commutative ring of coefficients. At the two extremes of [L5], gives , and , while gives and the standard maximal unipotent subgroup.
