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.

Indecomposable type-A diagrammatic Soergel objects are indexed by permutations and shifts

Statement

Let n≥2, let D be the type-A diagrammatic Soergel category over k=Q and let Kar⁡(D) be its Karoubi envelope (The type-A diagrammatic Soergel category and its candidate bimodule functor). Then Kar⁡(D) is a Krull–Schmidt category, and for every w∈Sn there is an indecomposable object Dw of Kar⁡(D), unique up to isomorphism, characterised as follows: Dw is a direct summand of the Bott–Samelson object of any reduced word for w, and is not isomorphic to a shift of a summand of the Bott–Samelson object of a reduced word for any v<w; it does not depend on the chosen reduced word, and every indecomposable object of Kar⁡(D) is isomorphic to Dw(d) for a unique pair (w,d)∈Sn×Z. In particular the passage to isomorphism classes of indecomposables up to shift is a bijection Sn⟶{indecomposables of Kar⁡(D) up to isomorphism and shift},w↦Dw.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The diagrammatic category D over k=Q with its presentation and its hom spaces, the words of Sn in the Coxeter presentation, and the Bott–Samelson objects Bx‾.

[F1]

k=Q is a field, hence has the unique maximal ideal (0), and Q=lim←⁡nQ/(0)n, so Q is a complete local ring (Field, A local ring is a nonzero commutative ring with a unique maximal ideal).

[F2]

The type-A realization of The standard type-A reflection realization and its polynomial ring is faithful, reflection faithful, Demazure surjective and balanced, so the hypotheses of the diagrammatic theory of the sources hold; in particular the simple root αs does not vanish and the Demazure operator is surjective onto Rs.

[F3]

By Double leaves form graded R-bases of type-A diagrammatic Hom spaces the hom spaces of D are free graded left R-modules with bases of double leaves, and by the imported Theorem 6.11 of the sources the light-leaf maps LLx‾,e with e a subexpression expressing a fixed w∈Sn are R-linearly independent modulo the ideal of morphisms factoring through strictly lower elements.

[F4]

Imported statement (Elias–Williamson, Lemma 6.24 with Theorem 6.25): if k is a complete local ring and D is k-linear with all degree-zero hom spaces finitely generated over k, then Kar⁡(D) is Krull–Schmidt, and for every w∈Sn and every reduced word w‾ for w there is a unique summand B‾w of Bw‾ which is not isomorphic to the shift of a summand of Bv‾ for any reduced word v‾ of an element v<w; this summand is independent of the reduced word up to isomorphism, and every indecomposable object of Kar⁡(D) is a shift of one of the B‾w (The type-A diagrammatic Soergel category and its candidate bimodule functor).

[F5]

The local Coxeter presentation of Type-A reduced words and the Coxeter presentation identifies products of simple reflections and their subexpressions in Sn. The Bruhat order v<w refines the length order by Elias–Williamson §2.1, and every lower interval is finite because Sn is finite.

Proof

1.1

The coefficient ring is complete local: by [F1] the zero ideal of Q is its unique maximal ideal and Q is isomorphic to its own m-adic completion, so the hypothesis of the imported theorem [F4] is satisfied.

F1
1.2

The realization hypotheses and the categorical setting: by [F2] the standard type-A realization is a Soergel realization in the sense of the sources, so the diagrammatic results [F3] and [F4] apply to D over k=Q; the Karoubi envelope Kar⁡(D) is by construction a k-linear idempotent complete additive category.

F2
1.3

Imported classification: by [F4] each w∈Sn has the summand B‾w of the Bott–Samelson object of any reduced word, characterised by excluding the shifts of summands of strictly lower elements, and every indecomposable of Kar⁡(D) is a shift of one of these; the subexpression indexing is that of the double leaves of [F3], and the elements w with their Bruhat order are those of [F5].

2.1

Finiteness input for the imported lemma: by [F3] the hom space of any two Bott–Samelson objects is a free graded R-module on finitely many homogeneous generators. Each fixed-degree piece of R=Q[x1,…,xn] is finite-dimensional over k=Q, because it has only finitely many monomials of that degree; hence the degree-zero part of a finite direct sum of shifts of R is finite-dimensional over k. Every object of Kar⁡(D) is a summand of a finite direct sum of shifts of Bott–Samelson objects, so its degree-zero endomorphism space is a direct summand of such a finite-dimensional space. Together with the completeness of k from step 1.1 and the k-linearity and idempotent completeness of step 1.2, this verifies the hypothesis set of the imported Krull–Schmidt lemma [F4].

2.2

Existence of Dw: for w∈Sn and a reduced word w‾ for w, the uniqueness and exclusion clauses of the imported classification statement [F4] produce the summand B‾w of Bw‾ that is not a shift of a summand of Bv‾ for v<w; by the subexpression language of [F5] this w is a well-defined element of Sn and the comparison of elements in Bruhat order is meaningful. We rename B‾w as Dw in the library's notation.

3.1

Krull–Schmidt: the imported Krull–Schmidt statement of [F4] applies because of steps 1.1–1.3; hence every object of Kar⁡(D) is a finite direct sum of indecomposables with local endomorphism rings, uniquely up to isomorphism and order.

F4step 1.1step 2.1
3.2

Reduced-word independence: by the independence clause of the imported classification statement [F4] the summand B‾w of Bw‾ does not depend on the reduced word w‾ for w up to isomorphism, so the object Dw of step 2.2 is well defined; its uniqueness clause likewise rules out a second, non-isomorphic summand of Bw‾ with the same exclusion property.

4.1

Classification: let B be an indecomposable object of Kar⁡(D); by [F4] it is isomorphic to a shift of some B‾w, i.e. to Dw(d) for some d∈Z; conversely every Dw(d) is indecomposable because Dw has a local endomorphism ring by step 3.1 and shifts are equivalences, hence preserve indecomposability. The pair (w,d) is unique: injectivity of w↦Dw up to isomorphism and shift is part of the bijection statement of [F4]. Once w is fixed, let X=Bw‾ and realize Dw=(X,ew) for a nonzero degree-zero idempotent ew. By [F3], End⁡D∙(X) is a finite direct sum of shifts of the nonnegatively graded ring R, hence has a lower degree bound. The graded corner ewEnd⁡D∙(X)ew=End⁡∙(Dw) has the same lower bound. If a degree-zero isomorphism Dw≅Dw(d) existed for d≠0, it and its inverse would give mutually inverse homogeneous elements of this corner of degrees d and −d. Powers of the element of negative degree would be nonzero in arbitrarily negative degrees, a contradiction. Thus no nonzero shift fixes Dw, proving uniqueness of d entirely inside the diagrammatic category.

Conclusion: Kar⁡(D) is Krull–Schmidt, the objects Dw for w∈Sn are the indecomposables up to shift, and the assignment w↦Dw is the stated bijection; the case n≤1 has a single indecomposable up to shift, the unit object (the empty Bott–Samelson object), and the statements hold trivially there. ∎
