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.
Lusztig's canonical basis and Kashiwara's lower global basis agree in symmetric finite ADE type
Statement
Assume symmetric finite ADE type, so for all . Transport Lusztig's parameter by , the abstract half generators by , and the full torus by , as in The Lusztig–Kashiwara form, parameter and coproduct dictionary. Under this exact dictionary the divided-power integral forms and the bar involutions agree, and the half forms agree through the root-color factor , not by an unqualified identity. Then Lusztig's canonical lower basis equals the Kashiwara lower global basis of , and Lusztig's canonical highest-module quotient bases equal the corresponding lower global bases of The lower global basis of and of a highest weight module for every dominant label in the explicit regular realization. The signed canonical set equals , and the positive canonical choice is matched by its actual top-string recursion. No equality of upper and lower bases, and no unitriangular word-basis characterization, is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The parameter, coproduct and form dictionary of The Lusztig–Kashiwara form, parameter and coproduct dictionary with , ; the lower global bases and their norm description (Bar invariance, congruence and uniqueness of the lower global basis, Integral residues of the negative half: freeness, the crystal basis and the form characterization, Crystal lattice polarizations are perfect at ); the adapted string ideals and the exact top-string transition (The highest weight and negative half integral crystal triples are balanced); the based quotient (The based quotient: projection of the lower global basis to a highest weight module); the auxiliary regular datum (Finite-support regularization of quantum label-weight modules).
Dictionary (The Lusztig–Kashiwara form, parameter and coproduct dictionary): the semilinear source-to-library isomorphism carries source relations, coproduct and divided powers to the library presentation with and ; on homogeneous degree , with a unit of the form , and sign conventions are fixed by the generator values.
Norm and integral criteria (Crystal lattice polarizations are perfect at , Integral residues of the negative half: freeness, the crystal basis and the form characterization): (maximality), the pairing takes values on in , and its residue pairing is -valued with orthonormal crystal classes in , and the norm- elements of are exactly ; the balanced intersection is with modulo .
String partition and top-string transition (The highest weight and negative half integral crystal triples are balanced, The string-ideal triples are balanced: the induction step (Kashiwara 7.4.1 / JKK 10.4)): the adapted bases of the string ideals partition by exact string position, and for one has , an exact congruence modulo the strictly higher string ideal with coefficient .
Based quotient of the half (The based quotient: projection of the lower global basis to a highest weight module): is a based quotient; maps to precisely for the killed crystal classes and otherwise to , bijectively onto the integral highest-module basis.
Auxiliary transport (Finite-support regularization of quantum label-weight modules): the source -regularity hypotheses are discharged in the explicit primitive-coroot regular datum, and characters and labels are transported back to the original lattice; the highest weight eigenvalue agrees with the action of .
Proof
Form and norm transport. For one has by [F1], with and in . Hence if and only if ; since a rational function with a power-series expansion has no pole at zero, the signed norm condition implies .
The signed set contains . Each is integral and bar fixed by [F2]; its -norm belongs to and is modulo , so . Thus both signs of every lower global vector satisfy the source signed norm condition.
Conversely, the signed set is contained in . Let be bar fixed with , and write its finite homogeneous decomposition . For each nonzero choose its zero-chart order , so . By [F2], is a unit of with positive rational residue. Since every has constant term , the terms of with least order have positive leading coefficients and cannot cancel. Regularity therefore forces every , so . Bar fixedness puts , hence , say with integers and finite support. Homogeneity gives , whose residue is by [F2]. This equals , so exactly one is and the rest vanish; thus . Together with step 1.2 this proves equality of the full signed sets.
String partition and transition. The source defines by the left string ideals; write for its transported map , which selects the unique signed element of exact string position whose difference from times a lower position is an integral combination of strictly higher string positions. The adapted global bases of [F3] identify that partition with the crystal -partition of , and the exact top-string transition of [F3] gives whenever , with sign fixed by the coefficient- quotient relation.
The positive canonical recursion. The source constructs its positive canonical basis from by the transitions ; the Kashiwara crystal satisfies the same recursion because every positive-height class has some with of strictly smaller height and . Induction on height using step 3.1 therefore identifies the positive canonical basis with , removing the sign ambiguity of step 2.1 by the actual recursion and not merely by the almost-orthonormal norms.
Highest-module quotient bases. The source defines its highest-module canonical basis by the based quotient of the half, omitting precisely the killed right-string-ideal elements; [F4] gives exactly the same zero-or-survive formula on , and [F5] matches the highest eigenvalue with the action of and discharges the regularity hypotheses. Hence the quotient canonical bases coincide with the lower global bases for every dominant label .
Conclusion. Steps 1.1–2.1 prove the signed-set equality ; steps 3.1–4.1 prove the positive basis identification by the actual top-string recursion; step 5.1 proves the highest-module quotient identification under the exact transport dictionary. No upper basis and no unitriangular word characterization was used.
