D03 Cartier Edge Purity and the Scoped PC Promotion
Record
Date: 2026-08-14
Status: proved in the definitionally scoped absolute/unlocalized D03 road-face model. The coefficient/Cousin source left unnamed in entry 130 has an independent construction, finite Cartier purity identifies it with the actual edge costalk, and the Bockstein-compatible normalized identification is unique.
Scope: the (x_3) normal of the entry-105 absolute support complex, with the entry-100 reciprocal-standard/original-Borel–Moore pairing and the entry-129 occurrence Cartier map frozen. This does not construct the scalar specialization differential, (G_{03}^{\rm Cousin}), a nonzero generic (Q)-leg, or an unrestricted enlargement of the road-face PC complex.
The actual target packet
Factor out the common physical line and all normal packets unrelated to (x_3). The closed-star quotient of entry 105 is
[ P_3= \left[ A\langle g_3,h_3\rangle \xrightarrow{(x_3,u_3)} A\langle p_3\rangle \right]. ]
Here (g_3) is radial/occurrence and (h_3) is the original normal-circle generator. No occurrence or monodromy variable is inverted. Its complete primitive syzygy is forced:
[ z_3=u_3g_3-x_3h_3. ]
Let (B=A/(x_3)). Since (x_3) is Cartier and (P_3) is perfect,
[ \boxed{ i_{x_3}^{!}P_3 =R!\operatorname{Hom}_A(B,P_3) \simeq \left(B\otimes_A P_3\right) \otimes\operatorname{or}(x_3)[-1]. } ]
Thus, up to the displayed coorientation shift, the target costalk is
[ E_{3,\rm tar}= \left[ B\langle g_3,h_3\rangle \xrightarrow{(0,u_3)} B\langle p_3\rangle \right]. ]
It contains one free radial line and one (B/(u_3)) normal line. There is no integer torsion. In particular, rank one is not automatic.
Independent construction of the source
The same packet is obtained without copying the target:
- entry 129 supplies the (x_3)-Cartier Thom line (B\langle g_3\rangle[1]);
- entry 100 supplies the original/Borel–Moore can–var packet (K_B(u_3)=[B\langle h_3\rangle\xrightarrow{u_3} B\langle p_3\rangle]);
- their support-typed direct sum is
[ E_{3,\rm src}
B\langle g_3\rangle[1]\oplus K_B(u_3)
\left[ B\langle g_3,h_3\rangle \xrightarrow{(0,u_3)} B\langle p_3\rangle \right]. ]
The reciprocal-regular factor is not discarded. The strict filtered quotient/excess decomposition of (K(u_3^\vee)\otimes P_3), followed by entry 97’s perfect reciprocal/original pairing, curries the bivariant packet to (E_{3,\rm src}). The Laurent unit in
[ u_3^\vee=-q_3^{-1}u_3 ]
is absorbed by that pairing; it does not identify the two support variances.
This is the missing definition of entry 130’s (\mathcal C_{x_3\text{-edge}}^{\rm coeff/Cousin}). It is derived from the occurrence Thom and can–var data, not from the desired endpoint fractions.
The graph Bockstein selects one map
On the derived graph
[ u_3=t_3x_3, ]
the first Cartier Bockstein is forced:
[ \beta_{x_3}(g_3)=p_3, \qquad \beta_{x_3}(h_3)=t_3p_3. ]
Its primitive kernel is
[ t_3g_3-h_3=z_3/x_3. ]
Before Bockstein compatibility, a filtration- and support-preserving degree-zero chain endomorphism of the edge packet has
[ f_1= \begin{pmatrix} a&b\ 0&e \end{pmatrix}, \qquad f_0(p_3)=ep_3. ]
The ambient homotopy classes contain one free scalar and two (B/(u_3))-ambiguities. Hence rank one is not inherited from interval contractibility.
The equation
[ \beta_{x_3}f=f\beta_{x_3} ]
forces
[ a=e, \qquad b=0. ]
Therefore the admissible map module is one torsion-free scalar line. Positive Cartier coorientation, endpoint normalization, and ([dX_{03}]=+1) fix its generator to (e=1).
The scoped purity theorem
The independently constructed source and the actual target are canonically identified:
[ \boxed{ \operatorname{pur}{x_3,\partial}^{\rm PC}: E{3,\rm src}\otimes\operatorname{or}(x_3)[-1] \xrightarrow{\sim} i_{x_3}^{!}P_3. } ]
This is finite Cartier purity, and it is the unique positively normalized Bockstein-compatible map in the frozen filtration/support type.
Endpoint transitivity is the standard adjunction
[ R!\operatorname{Hom}_B \left(B/(x_i),R!\operatorname{Hom}_A(B,P_3)\right) \simeq R!\operatorname{Hom}_A\left(A/(x_3,x_i),P_3\right), \qquad i=0,1. ]
After the complete occurrence and normal Koszul–Cech comparisons, every lower term is retained and the two endpoint restrictions are
[ +\left[ \frac1{x_0x_3u_0u_1u_3u_5} \right]\otimes[dX_{03}], \qquad +\left[ \frac1{x_1x_3u_0u_1u_3u_5} \right]\otimes[dX_{03}]. ]
Thus entry 130’s (\Gamma_0,\Gamma_1) are actual morphisms in the definitionally scoped road-face PC model once its source is retyped as (E_{3,\rm src}). They are two restrictions of one edge purity arrow, not two fitted maps.
Sharp remaining blocker
The local target-side PC promotion is closed only for the established road-face complex. It does not produce the scalar-side specialization correspondence. The first remaining formula objective is
[ \boxed{ d_{\rm circ}^{\rm PC}G_{03}^{\rm Cousin} =G_{03}^{\rm Cousin}d_{\rm sp,sc}, \qquad \operatorname{gr}(G_{03}^{\rm Cousin})=K_{\rm alt}, \qquad \operatorname{Res}{x_3}G{03}^{\rm Cousin} =\operatorname{pur}{x_3,\partial}^{\rm PC}, \qquad q_Q(G{03}^{\rm Cousin})\ne0. } ]
The final condition is decisive. Any construction supported wholly in (F_1) has zero ordinary (Q=F_2/F_1) leg and cannot solve this problem. Nothing in the Cartier theorem manufactures that generic component.
Admissible ablations
- Without the graph Bockstein, two (B/(u_3)) ambiguities remain.
- Deleting the radial/Tor-zero line makes unit normalization require a forbidden (t_3^{-1}).
- Deleting the normal/Tor-one line loses (\eta_{3,\mathrm{mix}}) and the primitive excess trace.
- Dropping lower Cech terms breaks the endpoint chain equations.
- Globally inverting (x_3) or (u_3) kills the supported costalk.
- Defining the source from the desired endpoint fractions is circular; the Thom-plus-can–var construction is required.
Evidence
The proof is the explicit packet, finite Cartier duality, and two-by-two Bockstein calculation above. Its independently established inputs are:
- research/voevodsky/check_absolute_unlocalized_support_pc.rs (entry 105);
- research/voevodsky/check_one_normal_can_var_cousin.rs (entry 100);
- research/voevodsky/check_d03_bivariant_pc_hom.rs (entry 97);
- research/voevodsky/check_d03_toric_cox_cousin_trace.rs (entry 129);
- research/voevodsky/check_d03_x3_loaded_pc_endpoint_boundary.rs (entry 130).
No new checker is required: the new assertion is standard Cartier duality for the already enumerated entry-105 packet plus the displayed admissibility calculation.
