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.
Integral triangular decomposition and freeness of the Lusztig form
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice, inherited through the crystal/global-basis and generic/classical PBW-rank suppliers. Let be the Lusztig divided-power integral form of The Lusztig divided-power integral form , with its parts over . Then:
(i) multiplication is an isomorphism;
(ii) the two divided-power halves are free -modules with finite free root components of the classical PBW ranks;
(iii) the unmodified torus has the -basis with and running over a system of representatives of ; hence is free, and the degree- component is ;
(iv) unique coefficients refer to products of chosen basis elements, not to arbitrary sums of simple tensors.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The divided-power form with its half and toral parts, the skew derivations of the halves, and the toral elements of The Lusztig divided-power integral form .
Divided-power identities (Divided-power multiplication, toral binomials and the reordering identity): and ; the toral binomials reorder past by index shifts; and every element of is a finite -linear combination of products with , , , i.e. multiplication from the tensor product is surjective.
Integral negative-half basis (The highest weight and negative half integral crystal triples are balanced, Bar invariance, congruence and uniqueness of the lower global basis): the lower global basis is an -basis of , and each finite root component is a free -module of rank . The positive half is carried to the negative half by the algebra isomorphism of The Drinfeld pairing between the positive and negative quantum halves, so is free with finite free root components as well.
Unmodified integral torus (The unmodified integral torus has a quantum-binomial basis, The quantum Pascal recurrences, the Gauss product formula and Gaussian integrality): the displayed family is an -basis of , with Gaussian-integral coefficients and Laurent-extremal independence.
Field triangular decomposition (Triangular decomposition of a quantized enveloping algebra, and the Drinfeld–Jimbo decomposition display (1.7) of Jeong–Kang–Kashiwara, §1, printed p. 6): the natural map is an isomorphism of -vector spaces, with homogeneous components of the stated shape.
Classical PBW ranks (Generic quantum Serre halves have classical PBW ranks and a nondegenerate Hopf pairing): the field dimension of each homogeneous component of the generic quantum half equals the classical PBW rank ; this identification carries that theorem's stated Choice hypothesis, in addition to the inherited crystal/global-basis use of [F2].
Choice: the Axiom of Choice is inherited through the crystal/global-basis suppliers of [F2] and the rank supplier [F5], as declared in The Axiom of Choice; the explicit tensor, localization and toral-basis computations add no choice use.
Proof
Freeness of the factors. By [F2] the negative half is a direct sum of free -modules of finite rank; by the transport the same holds for ; and by [F3] the unmodified torus has the displayed -basis. Each factor is therefore a free -module, and the half factors have finite free root components; the toral degree-zero component can have infinite rank.
Surjectivity of the multiplication map. The spanning statement of [F1] says that every element of is a finite -linear combination of products ; grouping the factors according to root degree exhibits as the image of , so the map is surjective.
Injectivity by field decomposition and torsion-freeness. Extending scalars along gives the field multiplication map, which is an isomorphism by [F4]. If lay in the kernel of the integral map, its image in would lie in the kernel of the field isomorphism after extension and hence would be ; but the source is a free, hence torsion-free, -module, so the natural map from it to its -extension is injective, forcing . Thus the multiplication map is an isomorphism, proving (i).
Toral basis, freeness and the homogeneous form. Statement (iii) is the combination of the toral basis [F3] with the factorization of step 2.1; since a tensor product of free modules is free, is free, and restricting the isomorphism to homogeneous components gives the displayed degree- decomposition, with contributing only degree . Unique coefficients are those of the products of the chosen basis elements of the three factors, not of arbitrary sums of simple tensors, because the isomorphism is one of -modules with the displayed direct-sum decomposition.
Ranks and conclusion. The ranks of the half components are their field dimensions by [F2]; by [F5], applied with its stated Choice hypothesis [C1], those dimensions equal the classical PBW ranks, proving (ii). Steps 1.1–3.1 prove (i), (iii) and (iv); no torsionfree-to-free conversion over the non-PID ring and no modified dot- basis was used, since freeness came from explicit bases.
