Summary 6.9 · Verdict: (A3a)(A3a) Rank-one models over O (Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1): for every Borel orbit Y of maximal rank and every simple root α, the O-scheme YP_α/R(P_α) is one of the four standard PGL2-spaces over O, with his scheme structure on Y, and YP_α is the closure of its generic fibre minus the closure of the generic boundary. holds for \(\mathcal M_\theta\) over every DVR with \(2\) invertible
proved audit: correct ★ key step
No step of A2's proof fails: three steps needed a line of proof (supplied), one input depends on S4-11's sign convention for the Chevalley involution, and the table was reproduced independently. Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1, relabelled (A3a): rank-one models over O., with his scheme structure and the complement clause, holds for \(E_6/F_4\) over every DVR with \(2\) invertible, mixed or equal characteristic, \(p=3\) included.
Summary 6.9.
Outcomes, claim by claim:
- Strategy 2.1 (strategy, reading of p. 9): holds; the reading of the complement clause inside closures is forced (Audit 6.7).
- Lemma 2.2 (sign data, \(T^\theta\), \(C_W(w_L)\)): holds, for the sign convention \(C(x_{\pm\alpha_i}(c))=x_{\mp\alpha_i}(-c)\) of S4-11; with the opposite sign the same formula gives type E I (Audit 6.2).
- Proposition 2.3 (orbits over \(\bar k\), \(\operatorname{char}\ne2\)): holds with a repair: two Borel subgroups share a maximal torus, derived from the Bruhat decomposition (Audit 6.3 step 2).
- Lemma 2.4 (smooth stabilizers, orbit immersions over \(\mathbb Z[1/2]\)): holds (Audit 6.4).
- Proposition 2.5 (rank-one quotients): holds with a repair: the special fibre of \(\overline{B'y}\) misses \(\dot s_\alpha Y_x\), by Lemma 2.7 item 3 applied to \(x'\) (Audit 6.5 step 4); the quotient is also categorical.
- Computation 2.6 (the \(45\times6\) table, closure sets, 821 Bruhat relations): holds, recomputed independently (Audit 6.1).
- Lemma 2.7 (special fibres of closures): holds with a repair: \(P_\alpha Z_{x'}\) is closed in \(X_{\mathcal O}\) by properness of \(P_\alpha/B\) (Audit 6.6 step 4).
- Theorem 2.8 (the theorem): holds (Audit 6.7).
- Audit 2.9 (self-audit): holds, with one correction: \(\alpha|_{T^{\theta_x}}\) is always primitive, so the divisibility caveat is moot (Audit 6.2 step 5, Audit 6.8).
- Summary 2.10 (verdict on (Q2)): holds (Audit 6.8).
Established: for \(\mathcal M_\theta\) and every DVR \(\mathcal O\) with \(2\in\mathcal O^\times\), the \(B_F\)-orbits are the 45 orbits \(Y_{x,F}\), all of maximal rank; Sakellaridis's \(\mathcal O\)-scheme of each is the smooth orbit scheme \(Y_x\simeq B/B_x\); \(YP_\alpha/R(P_\alpha)\) is \(\mathrm{PGL}_2\backslash\mathrm{PGL}_2\) for the 90 pairs with \(\alpha\in\Phi_x\) and \(B_2\backslash\mathrm{PGL}_2\simeq\mathbb P^1_{\mathcal O}\) for the other 180, \(P_\alpha\)-equivariantly; the complement clause holds for all 270 pairs. So (A3a)(A3a) Rank-one models over O (Sakellaridis's Axiom 2.2.1): for every Borel orbit Y of maximal rank and every simple root α, the O-scheme YP_α/R(P_α) is one of the four standard PGL2-spaces over O, with his scheme structure on Y, and YP_α is the closure of its generic fibre minus the closure of the generic boundary. holds over \(\mathbb F_q[[t]]\) and over the ring of integers of every \(p\)-adic field, \(p\) odd.
- Method. The table was recomputed from scratch before A2's scripts were opened (Audit 6.1); the \(\mathrm{Spin}_8\) signs, the torus \(T^\theta\) and \(C_W(w_L)\) were recomputed by exact arithmetic (Audit 6.2); every scheme-theoretic step was re-derived (Audit 6.3–Audit 6.7); the Conrad citations were read in the local PDF (Audit 6.8).
- What could have failed and did not. (i) Noncompact imaginary roots, which would create types T or N, are excluded by the triviality of \(\theta_0\) on \(\mathrm{Spin}_8\), confirmed for S4-11's convention. (ii) A disconnected or non-smooth \(T^\theta\) at \(p=3\) does not occur. (iii) The special fibre of the flat closure of an orbit could a priori be larger than the closure of the special-fibre orbit; Lemma 2.7 excludes this by the induction over \(P_\alpha\)-saturations, which works because the same closure sets \(\Sigma_x\) govern \(\bar F\) and \(\bar\kappa\). (iv) The complement clause read with complements in \(X\) is unsatisfiable for non-open saturations in any model, so A2's reading is the only meaningful one.
- Repairs supplied. Audit 6.3 step 2, Audit 6.5 step 4, Audit 6.6 step 4; each is a short standard argument, none changes a statement.
- Remaining caveat. The citations Steinberg, Mem. AMS 80, Thms. 7.5, 8.1; CGP Prop. A.8.10(2) / Edixhoven Prop. 3.4; EGA IV 11.3.10, 11.10.10, 17.9.1, 18.12.6 were not checked against a local source; their statements as used are standard and their hypotheses are met.
Verdict: the proof of (Q2) in Theorem 2.8 stands.
