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.
The weight-one block decomposition pattern
Statement
Let be a field and with finite quantum characteristic (The quantum characteristic of an invertible Hecke parameter), let be an -core of , put , and fix (The e-core, the e-quotient, and the e-weight). There are exactly partitions of with -core ; list them in dominance order, . In the source's (Murphy) normalisation the Weyl modules and simple modules of this weight-one class satisfy and so the decomposition matrix of the class is the bidiagonal matrix with rows and columns . Moreover exactly is not -restricted, while are. Under the Schur functor (The Schur functor sends Weyl and simple modules to Specht and Hecke simple modules) the corresponding Murphy Specht classes are with ; conjugating partitions and applying the same pullback to both modules (The type-A Hecke Specht module and its cell form, Ordinary Specht modules are the signed conjugate Murphy cells) gives the corresponding decomposition matrix for the page's Dipper-James Specht modules in -regular labels.
No choice principle is used.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A field , with finite quantum characteristic , an -core of , the integer , and the Weyl modules of for with at most parts, where .
Each Weyl module has simple head of multiplicity one, the decomposition matrix is dominance-unitriangular, and all simple modules are obtained this way (The type-A q-Schur algebra and its Weyl modules). In a finite-dimensional module, a simple head implies indecomposability: any nonzero direct summand has a nonzero head, so two nonzero summands would give a nonsimple head.
The corrected balanced Jantzen formula sums positive filtration submodules, not their successive quotients: Here for a fixed sufficiently long conjugate beta sequence, and the right hand symbols are alternating symbols: sort strictly decreasing, attach the sorting sign, and vanish on repeated or negative entries. The equal transfer preserves total size. Moreover . This is the balanced hook-ratio formula required from The q-Schaper virtual radical-layer formula and Virtual Weyl and Specht symbols attached to beta sequences. Its source arithmetic must be repaired before binding: the manuscript's displayed beta indices are inconsistent, while its worked Example 5.28 determines the balanced transfer.
Core-quotient and abacus theory: a weight-one partition is obtained from a packed core abacus by moving the bottom bead of one runner down one place. The bead move removes/adds a rim -hook, and distinct runners give distinct partitions (The e-core, the e-quotient, and the e-weight, The e-core is independent of the rim hook removal order, Beta-sets, the shift, and the e-runner abacus of a partition). Restricted means for every (e-regular and e-restricted partitions).
The exact Schur functor sends to and to , whose nonzero labels are precisely the restricted partitions. The ordinary Specht dictionary is the proved generic- form bridge and uses conjugation and the same pullback on every module (The Schur idempotent and the Schur functor for type-A q-Schur algebras, The Schur functor sends Weyl and simple modules to Specht and Hecke simple modules, The type-A Hecke Specht module and its cell form, Ordinary Specht modules are the signed conjugate Murphy cells).
Proof
Enumeration and ordering. Choose a conjugate core beta set long enough that every runner contains a bead, and list its bottom beads . Take this beta length divisible by . Every partition with this core has, at the same beta length, the same packed set: its packed set represents and the length uniquely determines a beta-set for . Weight one means its total runner displacement from packing is one, so exactly one bottom bead moves down one row. Conversely each such move adds exactly boxes and preserves the core. Thus replacing by gives precisely the weight-one partitions, denoted . For , moving instead of gives the more dominant conjugate partition: the two bead lists differ by replacing with . The new maximum is larger than both old values and the new minimum smaller than both, with the same sum. For each number of selected entries, the largest possible sum therefore does not decrease, and at least one sorted prefix increases. The sorted conjugate parts differ from these prefixes by the same beta offsets. Conjugation reverses dominance, hence . For the empty core put . The largest original partition is , since its added horizontal first-row strip dominates every other placement.
Choose a lift with valuation one. If , its finite quantum characteristic is its multiplicative order, and is prime to the field characteristic; use and . The derivative of at is , so ; also when . If , then . First work over with , , giving and for , and then extend scalars to . This extension preserves the decomposition multiplicities because the q-Schur simple modules are absolutely irreducible and its integral Weyl modules commute with scalar extension. In both cases the generic factorial is nonzero and [F2] applies.
Restriction. If is not restricted, some , so removing the last boxes of row leaves a partition. Its size is and its core is , so it equals . Thus is obtained by adding boxes to row of . An -core has for every , since otherwise it has a removable horizontal -strip. Consequently is impossible: the partition inequality would contradict this core property. Therefore the only nonrestricted member is ; it is indeed nonrestricted because its first-row difference is at least .
Evaluate the balanced formula. A nonzero coefficient involves a hook of length divisible by . A weight-one abacus has exactly one bead-gap pair of equal residue with the gap below the bead: and ; thus its only -divisible hook has length . Any surviving term in [F2] replaces two bead values, and its new runner counts equal the old ones: either divides the transfer , leaving residues fixed, or divides , exchanging their residues. Hence its sorted symbol is one of the . For , the distinct bead sets of and differ exactly by replacing with . There is exactly one balanced transfer yielding this change: if , its two hook lengths are , ; if , they are , . The difference is not divisible by since bottom beads are on distinct runners. Thus the respective unsigned coefficients are and by step 1.2. Sorting gives in either case the signed coefficient : in the packed core set, exactly one bead from each runner with bottom bead lies between and , so moving crosses beads; the relative sorting parity for the two moves, together with their opposite orientation, is . There are no other terms and no repeated contributions: the two lost and two gained bead values determine the pair and transfer uniquely. Therefore .
Descending induction and the matrix. For , step 2.2 gives zero on the left; all summands are actual submodule classes with nonnegative simple multiplicities, so and . Suppose the stated rows are known for . Substitution into step 2.2 telescopes to . Since and each later term is a submodule of , positivity shows and for . The head quotient is , giving . Notice that the identity is used only after proving all later filtration submodules vanish; it is false for a general Jantzen filtration. Reading simple multiplicities yields the complete bidiagonal matrix.
Specht rows. Apply the exact functor of [F4] to step 3.1 and use step 2.1: , while the other are the nonzero simples. This gives exactly the three displayed Murphy Specht class identities, hence the full Murphy matrix. Conjugation sends the core to and the restricted simple labels to regular ones, and the same pullback applied to every module preserves all composition multiplicities. Thus the ordinary Specht matrix has the same entries under the accepted conjugate/sign label dictionary.
