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 , let be the type-A diagrammatic Soergel category over and let be its Karoubi envelope (The type-A diagrammatic Soergel category and its candidate bimodule functor). Then is a Krull–Schmidt category, and for every there is an indecomposable object of , unique up to isomorphism, characterised as follows: is a direct summand of the Bott–Samelson object of any reduced word for , and is not isomorphic to a shift of a summand of the Bott–Samelson object of a reduced word for any ; it does not depend on the chosen reduced word, and every indecomposable object of is isomorphic to for a unique pair . In particular the passage to isomorphism classes of indecomposables up to shift is a bijection
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The diagrammatic category over with its presentation and its hom spaces, the words of in the Coxeter presentation, and the Bott–Samelson objects .
is a field, hence has the unique maximal ideal , and , so is a complete local ring (Field, A local ring is a nonzero commutative ring with a unique maximal ideal).
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 does not vanish and the Demazure operator is surjective onto .
By Double leaves form graded -bases of type-A diagrammatic Hom spaces the hom spaces of are free graded left -modules with bases of double leaves, and by the imported Theorem 6.11 of the sources the light-leaf maps with a subexpression expressing a fixed are -linearly independent modulo the ideal of morphisms factoring through strictly lower elements.
Imported statement (Elias–Williamson, Lemma 6.24 with Theorem 6.25): if is a complete local ring and is -linear with all degree-zero hom spaces finitely generated over , then is Krull–Schmidt, and for every and every reduced word for there is a unique summand of which is not isomorphic to the shift of a summand of for any reduced word of an element ; this summand is independent of the reduced word up to isomorphism, and every indecomposable object of is a shift of one of the (The type-A diagrammatic Soergel category and its candidate bimodule functor).
The local Coxeter presentation of Type-A reduced words and the Coxeter presentation identifies products of simple reflections and their subexpressions in . The Bruhat order refines the length order by Elias–Williamson §2.1, and every lower interval is finite because is finite.
Proof
The coefficient ring is complete local: by [F1] the zero ideal of is its unique maximal ideal and is isomorphic to its own -adic completion, so the hypothesis of the imported theorem [F4] is satisfied.
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 over ; the Karoubi envelope is by construction a -linear idempotent complete additive category.
Imported classification: by [F4] each has the summand of the Bott–Samelson object of any reduced word, characterised by excluding the shifts of summands of strictly lower elements, and every indecomposable of is a shift of one of these; the subexpression indexing is that of the double leaves of [F3], and the elements with their Bruhat order are those of [F5].
Finiteness input for the imported lemma: by [F3] the hom space of any two Bott–Samelson objects is a free graded -module on finitely many homogeneous generators. Each fixed-degree piece of is finite-dimensional over , because it has only finitely many monomials of that degree; hence the degree-zero part of a finite direct sum of shifts of is finite-dimensional over . Every object of 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 from step 1.1 and the -linearity and idempotent completeness of step 1.2, this verifies the hypothesis set of the imported Krull–Schmidt lemma [F4].
Existence of : for and a reduced word for , the uniqueness and exclusion clauses of the imported classification statement [F4] produce the summand of that is not a shift of a summand of for ; by the subexpression language of [F5] this is a well-defined element of and the comparison of elements in Bruhat order is meaningful. We rename as in the library's notation.
Krull–Schmidt: the imported Krull–Schmidt statement of [F4] applies because of steps 1.1–1.3; hence every object of is a finite direct sum of indecomposables with local endomorphism rings, uniquely up to isomorphism and order.
Reduced-word independence: by the independence clause of the imported classification statement [F4] the summand of does not depend on the reduced word for up to isomorphism, so the object of step 2.2 is well defined; its uniqueness clause likewise rules out a second, non-isomorphic summand of with the same exclusion property.
Classification: let be an indecomposable object of ; by [F4] it is isomorphic to a shift of some , i.e. to for some ; conversely every is indecomposable because has a local endomorphism ring by step 3.1 and shifts are equivalences, hence preserve indecomposability. The pair is unique: injectivity of up to isomorphism and shift is part of the bijection statement of [F4]. Once is fixed, let and realize for a nonzero degree-zero idempotent . By [F3], is a finite direct sum of shifts of the nonnegatively graded ring , hence has a lower degree bound. The graded corner has the same lower bound. If a degree-zero isomorphism existed for , it and its inverse would give mutually inverse homogeneous elements of this corner of degrees and . Powers of the element of negative degree would be nonzero in arbitrarily negative degrees, a contradiction. Thus no nonzero shift fixes , proving uniqueness of entirely inside the diagrammatic category.
Conclusion: is Krull–Schmidt, the objects for are the indecomposables up to shift, and the assignment is the stated bijection; the case has a single indecomposable up to shift, the unit object (the empty Bott–Samelson object), and the statements hold trivially there. ∎
