Nonvanishing of the splitting-chain units #

The assembly of the Key Lemma's nonvanishing half: the chain unit stage is the copair element of the symmetric-power duality datum, up to the braiding of the module tensor product; so once the symmetric-power datum satisfies the zigzag laws, a vanishing stage unit kills the symmetric power. This is Deligne's argument: δⁿ is the δ of a duality between the symmetric powers (1.15.1), and the δ of a duality vanishes only on the zero module.
