Global Dual-Block Carrier and the Unlocalized Can–Var Boundary
Record
Date: 2026-08-14
Status: proved integral, based, equivariant carrier theorem and proved local excess-symbol theorem. The corresponding unlocalized PC Beck–Chevalley/can–var kernel remains unconstructed.
Scope: the labelled hexagon associahedron
[ X=K_6, \qquad B=B_{\rm short}, ]
where (B) is the union of the six short-diagonal pentagonal facets, together with the factorization marks, polarity, and orientations fixed in entries 93–98.
This entry refines entry 98. The six source attachments are not independent: their carrier grades are the restrictions of two polarity-related global maps. What remains missing is one support-filtered lift of those global maps, not six freely normalized arrows.
Claim
Let (v_+) be the all-odd central triangulation and (L_+) its triangular positive vertex figure. The suspended augmented carrier is
[ D_+^{\rm car}=\widetilde C_*(L_+)[1] ]
with
[ \mathbb Z\langle f_+\rangle \xrightarrow{d_3} \mathbb Z\langle e_1,e_3,e_5\rangle \xrightarrow{d_2} \mathbb Z\langle q_0,q_1,q_2\rangle \xrightarrow{\epsilon} \mathbb Z, ]
[ d_3f_+=e_1+e_3+e_5, ]
[ d_2= \begin{pmatrix} 1&-1&0\ -1&0&1\ 0&1&-1 \end{pmatrix}, \qquad \epsilon=(1,1,1). ]
Entry 98’s relative carrier is
[ C_*(X,B)= \left[ \mathbb Z\langle K_{\rm rel}\rangle \xrightarrow{(1,1,1)^T} \mathbb Z\langle T_0,T_1,T_2\rangle \longrightarrow0\longrightarrow0 \right]. ]
The labelled pair and its dihedral action give the unique road matching
[ e_1\longmapsto T_2=F_{14}, \qquad e_3\longmapsto T_1=F_{03}, \qquad e_5\longmapsto T_0=F_{25}. ]
Therefore
[ \boxed{ A_+^{\rm car}(f_+)=K_{\rm rel}, \qquad A_+^{\rm car}(e_1,e_3,e_5)=(T_2,T_1,T_0), } ]
with the lower two degrees sent to zero, is a strict integral chain map. The top equation is
[ A_{+,2}^{\rm car}d_3f_+ =T_0+T_1+T_2 =dK_{\rm rel}. ]
The three unit road values force the top coefficient to be (+1), since the displayed target differential is injective. Polarity gives the second global map
[ A_-^{\rm car}(f_-)=-K_{\rm rel}, ]
[ e_0\mapsto-T_1, \qquad e_2\mapsto-T_0, \qquad e_4\mapsto-T_2. ]
Thus the six local carrier attachments are restrictions of (A_+^{\rm car}) and (A_-^{\rm car}).
The local excess symbol
For the plus-sheet (D=03) restriction, the labelled geometry independently selects the unique marked path
[ (x_1,x_3,x_5) \longrightarrow (X_{03},x_1,x_3) \longrightarrow (X_{03},x_0,x_3). ]
It retains (x_3) and produces
[ I_+=(u_1,u_3,u_5), \qquad I_{03}=(u_0,u_3). ]
Put
[ Q=(u_0,u_1,u_3,u_5), \qquad \eta=h_3^+-h_3^{03}. ]
Then the derived intersection has the canonical integral exact sequence
[ \boxed{ 0\longrightarrow K(Q)[1] \xrightarrow{\eta\wedge-} K(I_+)\otimes K(I_{03}) \longrightarrow K(Q) \longrightarrow0. } ]
The inclusion is independent of which copy of the shared (u_3) is used to lift the quotient conormal basis. With the established orders,
[ \eta\wedge\omega_Q
\omega_+\wedge\omega_{03} ]
has sign (+1). Hence the degree-one shift and excess orientation are forced rather than fitted.
The exact audit also proves that all invariants visible on the established boundary agree with entry 97:
- the marked lower-Cousin edge and both endpoints;
- reciprocal-twist regular support versus original-twist locally finite support;
- (u_j^\vee=-q_j^{-1}u_j), without inverting any (u_j);
- the two normalized occurrence values ((1,1)); and
- the independent positive physical line ([dX_{03}]).
These equalities determine the unique candidate local excess symbol. They do not by themselves construct the full PC chain map.
The index-three warning
After forgetting the based, support-filtered, and equivariant structure, (A_+^{\rm car}) is null-homotopic. One integral contraction is
[ h_2(e_1)=K_{\rm rel}, \qquad h_2(e_3)=h_2(e_5)=0, ]
[ h_1(q_0)=0, \qquad h_1(q_1)=T_0+T_1, \qquad h_1(q_2)=T_1. ]
However, an integral (D_3)-equivariant contraction would require
[ h_2(e_1)=h_2(e_3)=h_2(e_5)=aK_{\rm rel} ]
and the top homotopy equation becomes
[ 3a=1. ]
It exists only after adjoining (1/3). This is the same index-three phenomenon already seen in the augmented triangle resolution. It is not an invitation to rationally split the object: it shows that the integral equivariant and support-filtered category is essential.

The first checker verifies both polarity-related carrier maps, the forced top coefficient, dihedral covariance, the explicit ordinary null-homotopy, and the integral equivariant obstruction (3a=1). The second enumerates the fourteen labelled triangulations, proves uniqueness of the marked (D03) path, verifies the complete excess Koszul exact sequence and its determinant sign, and compares every already-typed boundary invariant.

Boundary
The following stronger statement is not proved:
[ A_+^{\rm Cous,PC}: \mathcal D_+^{\rm Cous,PC} \longrightarrow \mathbb D\operatorname{PC}(K_6,B_{\rm short}). ]
In particular:
- Entry 38 constructs face tubes for actual associahedral faces. It does not construct an augmented vertex-figure dual-block map to the relative complex.
- The local (\eta)-wedge sequence is the canonical top- (\operatorname{Tor}_1) symbol, not the missing global can/var kernel.
- The ordinary excess Euler class vanishes for the trivial coordinate excess line. The desired map must retain the secondary derived class.
- Nonresonant inversion contracts the supported Koszul complexes and erases precisely the class that must define the lift.
- Equality of carrier signs, occurrence values, and endpoint periods is necessary but insufficient for a filtered chain map.
The first missing datum is therefore one unlocalized, support-preserving augmented dual-block/Cousin kernel. It must contain the scalar occurrence and normal layers separately, realize can/var before (u_j) is inverted, and restrict on each road to the entry-97 bivariant trace including all lower Cousin terms.
Consequence
Replace the six-map objective of entry 98 by two global maps. The next formula is
[ \boxed{ A_\pm^{\rm Cous,PC}: \mathcal D_\pm^{\rm Cous,reg,\vee} \longrightarrow \mathbb D\operatorname{PC}(K_6,B_{\rm short})\otimes\chi_N } ]
over the unlocalized universal monodromy ring, with
[ \operatorname{gr}A_\pm^{\rm Cous,PC}=A_\pm^{\rm car} ]
and, for the three roads,
[ \boxed{ \rho_iA_\pm^{\rm Cous,PC} \simeq \operatorname{Tr}{i,\partial}^{\rm PC} \partial{\pm i}^{\rm ex}. } ]
One global construction proves all six local comparisons by restriction and polarity. A failure to construct its unlocalized can/var component is the first canonical failure of the current scalar master enhancement.
