Permutations across the power pairing #
The nested power pairing consumes the M'-power from the top and
the M-power from the bottom, so it pairs slot j of the
M'-power against slot n - 1 - j of the M-power. Moving a
permutation of the M-slots across the pairing therefore turns it
into the order-reversing adjoint permutation of the M'-slots.
adjPerm: the adjointσ ↦ rev ∘ σ⁻¹ ∘ rev. The convention is chosen so that the exchange law holds verbatim; it is an anti-homomorphism (adjPerm_mul) and an involution (adjPerm_adjPerm), and on transpositions it reverses the two slots (adjPerm_swap).swapTop_powPeel,powPeel_permMor_swap,powPeel_permMor_low: the head peel intertwines an adjacent braiding away from the bottom slot with the braiding one slot down, and resolves the bottom braiding into the braiding of the two exposed factors.pairStep_dbl_braid: the doubled generic step absorbs the braiding of its two consumedM'-factors as the braiding of its two consumedM-factors — the boundary of the exchange law.rawPair_perm: the exchange law — a permutation of theM-power slots crosses the raw pairing as the adjoint permutation of theM'-power slots.pairPow_perm,symPowIdem_pairPow: the exchange law descended to the module powers, and its average over the group — the symmetriser on either side of the descended pairing agree, the self-adjointness that transfers the power-level duality to the symmetric powers.
The order-reversing adjoint of a permutation #
The order-reversing adjoint of a permutation: conjugate the inverse by the order reversal of the slots. The inverse makes it an anti-homomorphism, which is the direction in which permutations cross the power pairing.
Equations
Instances For
The adjoint of the identity is the identity.
The adjoint is an involution.
The adjoint of a transposition reverses its two slots.
The adjoint of an adjacent transposition is the adjacent transposition at the reversed position.
Adjacent braidings across the head peel #
The permutation action of Envelope/SymPerm.lean is built from the
top of the power, while the pairing peels the bottom. The bridge
is the head peel: an adjacent braiding that avoids the bottom slot
passes the peel, dropping one slot; the braiding of the bottom two
slots resolves, under the double peel, into the braiding of the two
exposed factors.
The top braiding passes the head peel, dropping to the top braiding one arity down.
An adjacent braiding above the bottom slot passes the head peel, dropping one slot.
The bottom braiding resolves under the double peel into the braiding of the two exposed head factors.
The doubled step absorbs the boundary braiding #
The recursion of the power pairing consumes the top M'-factor
against the bottom M-factor; two consecutive steps consume the
top two M'-factors against the bottom two M-factors. The
boundary of the exchange law is that braiding the two consumed
M'-factors equals braiding the two consumed M-factors, across
the doubled step. Everything here is at general objects, over an
opaque pairing u and continuation r; commutativity of the
monoid enters exactly once, to exchange the two emitted scalars.
The exchange law #
The exchange law: a permutation of the M-power slots
crosses the raw power pairing as the order-reversing adjoint
permutation of the M'-power slots.
The descended exchange law and self-adjointness #
The descended exchange law: a permutation of the module power crosses the descended pairing as its order-reversing adjoint.
Self-adjointness of the symmetriser across the pairing: the symmetriser acting on either module power pairs equally. The adjoint is a bijection of the group, so the average over all permutations is invariant under the exchange law.
Self-adjointness of the symmetriser, in tensor form.
