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 spherical ribbon splitting input

Statement

Let (A,S) be a finite-rank spherical Artin system, with associated finite Coxeter system (W,S). For K⊆S, write WK=⟨K⟩ and let wK be its unique longest element. In the canonical real reflection representation with simple-root basis (es)s∈S, define the opposition permutation ιK:K→K by wKes=−eιK(s) for s∈K. For I⊆S, let AI be the standard parabolic subgroup and ΔI the positive lift of wI, with Δ∅=1. Give the conjugator groupoid Conj⁡(A) arrows g:I→J exactly when g−1AIg=AJ, and compose by multiplication from left to right. Let P be the totally disconnected subgroupoid with vertex groups AI, and let Rν be the subgroupoid generated by r(I,a)=ΔI−1ΔI∪{a} for a∉I, directed I→ιI∪{a}(I). Then Conj⁡(A)=P⋊Rν. In particular NA(AI)=AI⋊(Rν)I. The factorization of each conjugator is uniquely g=pr with p∈AI and r∈Rν(I,J).

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

The spherical positive monoid is a monoidal Garside structure with group of fractions A. (Independent spherical Artin Garside input)

[F2]

Composition and vertex group conventions are fixed in Set-sized groupoids, functors and composition conversion.

[F3]

The exterior elementary ribbons and their explicit endpoints are supplied by Elementary ribbons have explicitly determined endpoints. Existence of the spherical nu-structure is the separate imported input [F7].

[F4]

Those exterior atoms generate precisely the source's reduced subgroupoid Rν(A). (The reduced ribbon subgroupoid uses exactly the exterior atoms)

[F5]

Unique conjugator factorization gives the normalizer semidirect decomposition as proved in Unique conjugator factorization restricts to a normalizer splitting.

[F6]

The independent factorization theorem is imported explicitly below (source reference 0).

[F7]

Every spherical Artin monoid with its standard Garside structure has a nu-structure, including both left and right nu-functions. In particular, for a∉I its left elementary value is νI(a)=ΔI−1ΔI∪{a}. This is Godelle's Example 3.14, with nu-structure defined in Definition 3.12, imported below (source reference 1).

[F8]

Finite parabolics have unique longest elements and opposition permutations characterized by wKes=−eιK(s). These exist also for K=∅, with its empty permutation. (Finite parabolic longest elements and disconnected factors)

External input

Godelle's Example 3.14 states that every spherical Artin monoid has a nu-structure in the sense of Definition 3.12: both its left and right families of positive ribbon atoms satisfy the stated divisibility and lcm conditions. We import this existence result, with the exterior formulas νI(a)=ΔI−1ΔI∪{a} and ν~I(a)=ΔI∪{a}ΔI−1 for a∉I. It applies to the standard spherical Garside structure of [F1]; no local proof of existence or reconstruction of the historical source [15] is claimed.

Godelle's Theorem 4.25(ii) is imported as an established conjugator-factorization theorem. Its objects are standard parabolic subgroups, its arrows satisfy g−1AIg=AJ, and its composition is the product in A. It asserts Conj⁡(A)=P(A)⋊Rν(A); Definitions 4.23–4.24 define this as unique factorization and transport of vertex factors. The paragraph after the theorem explicitly includes spherical Artin groups. For this adjudication we read the cited statements and definitions in the extracted text; their general proofs were not reconstructed. The endpoint and generator translation uses [F3]–[F4], and the vertex restriction uses [F5].

Proof

Given: The spherical system and the groupoids in the statement.

Goal: Apply the independent splitting theorem with the correct generators, endpoints and product convention.

1.1F1F6F7

By [F1] the positive monoid and A have the monoidal Garside/group-of-fractions relationship required by Theorem 4.25. By the independent spherical existence input [F7], Example 3.14 supplies the required nu-structure for this same positive monoid. Its positive parabolic objects and the corresponding standard parabolic subgroups are those used here. Thus the theorem's hypotheses are met.

1.2F2F3F4F6F8

By [F4] the source's Rν(A) equals exactly Rν as defined here. Every WK is finite because it is a subgroup of finite W, so [F8] supplies the opposition permutation used in those endpoints. Its elementary arrows therefore have exactly the endpoints proved in [F3]. The source's morphisms satisfy g−1AIg=AJ and its composition is group multiplication, precisely [F2] and the convention in our statement; no inversion or product reversal is being made.

2.1F5F6step 1.1step 1.2∎

Apply Theorem 4.25(ii), interpreted through Definitions 4.23–4.24. It gives unique factorization of every arrow as g=pr with the indicated source-parabolic factor and reduced-ribbon factor. This proves the groupoid splitting. Applying [F5] at each object yields NA(AI)=AI⋊(Rν)I, including I=∅ and I=S. No assertion about arbitrary Artin type or the article's universal wall cover is used or obtained.

For a monoidal Garside structure (A^+,Delta) with a nu-structure and fraction group A, the groupoid Conj(A), with standard parabolic objects and arrows g:A_I to A_J satisfying g^{-1}A_I g=A_J and product composition, equals P(A) semidirect R^nu(A). P(A) is totally disconnected with vertex groups A_I. The internal semidirect notation entails unique factorization g=pr and transport A_I r=r A_J. Standard parabolic subgroups of an Artin–Tits group are generated by subsets of its standard atoms. Its vertex conjugator groups are normalizers.

Every spherical Artin–Tits monoid has a nu-structure, meaning both the left nu-functions and right tilde-nu-functions of Definition 3.12, whose values are positive ribbon atoms and satisfy its divisibility and lcm conditions. For I contained in S and a outside I, nu_I(a)=Delta_I^{-1}Delta_{I union {a}} and tilde-nu_I(a)=Delta_{I union {a}}Delta_I^{-1}; for s in I, both values equal Delta_{I_s}, where I_s is the connected component containing s in the induced Coxeter diagram on I.

Hypotheses: The positive monoid of a finite-rank Artin–Tits system of spherical type, equipped with its standard monoidal Garside structure; I ranges over subsets of its standard atom set S and Delta_I is the standard parabolic longest positive lift.
