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.

Independent finite local wall-crossing formula

Statement

Let (W,S) be a finite-rank Coxeter system, with canonical real reflection representation, dual action and Tits cone U, and fix J⊆S. For I⊆S, write WI=⟨I⟩, put EI={f:f(αi)=0 (i∈I)}, and let CI consist of the vectors in EI positive on the simple roots indexed by S∖I. Set E=EJ, with its Euclidean topology, T=U∩E and T∘=int⁡ET. A J-chamber label is a pair (x,I) with WJx=xWI such that x has minimum Coxeter length in xWI; it labels the J-chamber xCI in the relative-interior arrangement. For a root α put Hα={f:f(α)=0}. The arrangement hyperplanes are the proper traces E∩Hα meeting T∘. A wall is a nonempty intersection of a chamber's closure in E with an arrangement hyperplane, of affine dimension dim⁡E−1.

Let (x,I) be a J-chamber label, let a∈S∖I, and put K=I∪{a}. Suppose WK is finite. For a finite standard parabolic WL, write wL for its longest element and ιL for the permutation of L determined by wLαs=−αιL(s). Define b=ιK(a) and (y,I′)=(xwIwK,K∖{b}). Then (y,I′) is a J-chamber label, its chamber is adjacent to xCI through the common wall xCK‾, and crossing back at b returns (x,I). Here the bar denotes closure in E, and xCK is the relative interior of that wall in its affine hull.

Call J strongly Dynkin if J is a proper subset of S and WJ∪{s} is finite for every s∈S∖J. If J is strongly Dynkin, any two J-chamber labels are connected by a finite sequence of the crossings just described.

External input

Iyama–Wemyss, Definitions 1.8, 1.16 and 1.19 and Theorem 1.20(1)(a),(c),(d) and (2)(a), supplies the displayed crossing label, the inverse crossing, adjacency at the face xCK, and finite crossing connectivity under the strongly Dynkin hypothesis. The source's fixed and variable subsets are denoted J and I here. These assertions are imported; their source proof is not reproduced or independently reviewed. The local proof below identifies the closed wall and its relative interior under the stated portal conventions.

Proof

Given: The system, label and subsets in the Statement, with WK finite for the local crossing. Goal: Establish the claimed crossing assertions, with the closed-wall convention.

1.1F1F2F3F5F6given

With the longest elements interpreted by [F2], apply [F6] to the label of [F1]. It gives the label (y,I′), the inverse crossing at b, and distinct adjacent source chambers; it also gives the asserted finite crossing connectivity when J is strongly Dynkin. By [F1] and [F3] the same labelled subsets are the relative-interior arrangement chambers. It remains to identify their common wall in the convention of [F5].

2.1F1F3step 1.1algebra

For any L⊆S, let DL={f∈EL:f(αs)≥0 (s∉L)}. In dual coordinates, CL spans EL: the vector with coordinates 1 off L and 0 on L, and its sums with each dual basis vector off L, lie in CL, and their differences give that basis. The inequalities defining DL are closed; adding ε to each coordinate off L shows every point of DL is a limit of points of CL. Thus DL is the closure of CL in the full dual space, and these assertions include L=S. By [F3], xCI⊆E and ∣I∣=∣J∣, so spanning and equality of dimensions give xEI=E; likewise yEI′=E. Finite-dimensional linear automorphisms and their inverses are continuous, so closures commute with x and y. Consequently xCI‾=xDI and yCI′‾=yDI′. Put H=xEK. Since K=I∪{a}, the dual action gives H=E∩Hxαa, a codimension-one subspace of E.

3.1F4step 2.1algebra

Put q=wIwK∈WK, so y=xq. By [F4], WK fixes every point of CK; the spanning argument in step 2.1 shows that it fixes EK pointwise. Hence yEK=xEK=H and yDK=xDK. Since K=I′∪{b} as well as K=I∪{a}, the coordinate descriptions give xDI∩H=xDK=yDK=yDI′∩H. Thus both chamber closures meet H in F=xDK=xCK‾. The affine hull of DK is EK, because it contains 0 and spans EK. In its free coordinates the relative interior of the nonnegative orthant DK is exactly the strictly positive orthant CK: positive coordinates persist in a sufficiently small ball, whereas a zero free coordinate can be perturbed negatively in every ball. If there are no free coordinates, both sets are {0} in the zero space. Transporting by x gives aff⁡(F)=H, dim⁡F=dim⁡E−1, and relative interior xCK.

By [F4] and finiteness of WK, CK⊆U∘. Also xU=U, since left multiplication by x permutes the translates defining U. As x is a linear homeomorphism, xCK⊆U∘. Step 3.1 places this nonempty set in E∩H, so it lies in T∘ and H meets T∘. Since xαa is a root and H is proper in E, [F3] makes H an arrangement hyperplane. Step 3.1 and [F5] now identify F as a common wall of the two distinct chambers. Its relative interior and all remaining assertions were established in steps 3.1 and 1.1.

Source notes

The crossing and connectivity assertions are imported from the independent Iyama–Wemyss source. The coordinate argument is locally authored and adapts the wall terminology; it makes no claim to reconstruct that source theorem. The local hypothesis remains finiteness of the whole parabolic WK; no componentwise weakening or weaker connectivity hypothesis is asserted.

For a chamber label (x,I) and a outside I with W_K finite, K=I union {a}, the simple crossing is (x w_I w_K, K minus {iota_K(a)}). This is a chamber label, crossing at iota_K(a) returns (x,I), and the chambers are adjacent at the face x C_K. If the fixed subset J is strongly Dynkin, any two labels are connected by finitely many simple crossings.

Hypotheses: A Coxeter graph and its canonical representation; J is the fixed subset and I is the variable subset in the chamber label. The local crossing requires W_{I union {a}} finite. Strongly Dynkin means J is proper and W_{J union {s}} is finite for every s outside J.

PDF screenshots were unavailable; no visual reading or review of the source proof is claimed. The fixed and variable subsets are renamed J and I. The local proof below establishes the closed-wall and relative-interior identification under the portal conventions; it does not reconstruct the imported theorem.
