Inductive invariant for the composition of swap automorphisms used to conjugate one
opposite flag to another. After levels_done swap steps, the automorphism e is required
to stabilize every level of the fixed flag F and to have already mapped the top
levels_done levels of F'₁ onto the corresponding levels of F'₂.
Instances For
Base case of the swap-composition induction: the identity automorphism trivially
satisfies the invariant after 0 levels have been handled.
Inductive-step hypothesis packaging the existence of a swap that advances the
SwapCompositionInvariant from levels_done to levels_done + 1, for every choice of
flags and prior approximation e_prev. This is the key local construction supplied by
stepHyp_proof.
- step (F F'₁ F'₂ : Flag k V) (h₁ : F.isOppositeFlag F'₁) (h₂ : F.isOppositeFlag F'₂) (levels_done : ℕ) (h_lt : levels_done < F'₁.len) (e_prev : V ≃ₗ[k] V) (inv : SwapCompositionInvariant F F'₁ F'₂ h₁ h₂ e_prev levels_done) : ∃ (e_next : V ≃ₗ[k] V), SwapCompositionInvariant F F'₁ F'₂ h₁ h₂ e_next (levels_done + 1)
Instances For
Iterating the step hypothesis: for every m ≤ F'₁.len there exists an automorphism
satisfying the SwapCompositionInvariant at level m. Proof is by induction on m.
Running the swap-composition induction up to F'₁.len produces an automorphism
that fixes F and sends F'₁ to F'₂, yielding the OppositeConjugacyCompositionHyp.
The underlying vector of complIsomOfIsCompl W C₁ C₂ hc₁ hc₂ c is obtained from c
by linear projection onto C₂ along W (via the symmetric complement).
The swap-complement automorphism agrees with the identity modulo W: for every
v ∈ V, the difference swapComplement W C₁ C₂ hc₁ hc₂ v - v lies in W.
A subspace S that contains both complements C₁ and C₂ is stabilized by the
swap-complement automorphism swapComplement W C₁ C₂ hc₁ hc₂.
A subspace S that contains W is stabilized by the swap-complement automorphism
swapComplement W C₁ C₂ hc₁ hc₂, because the swap moves vectors only by elements of W.
Concrete construction of the step hypothesis SwapCompositionStepHyp: given an
automorphism e_prev realizing the invariant at level levels_done, post-compose with
the appropriate swap-complement automorphism (along F.spaces i_F) to obtain e_next
realizing the invariant at level levels_done + 1. The swap moves the transported
complement C₁_trans onto F'₂.spaces target₂ while stabilizing every level of F and
every higher level of F'₁ already aligned with F'₂.
