Summary 2.9 · Verdict for \(\SL_2/\SO_2\): both levels fail, and the sheaf argument is the geometric form of Proposition J(2)

proved audit: correct

Second audit: correct.

The categorical statement fails for \(\SL_2/\SO_2\) over \(\C\) by central inertia, with an exact description of the Satake span, and the function statement fails for every residue field. So this row agrees at the two levels and gives no divergence.

Summary 2.9.

For \(X=\SL_2/\SO_2\), \(G=\SL_2\), \(k=\C\): \(\Csat\ne\mathcal C_K\) (Theorem 2.4), with the exact description (Proposition 2.7, Lemma 2.6) $$\Csat=\langle\IC(\overline{\mathcal O_{2n}},\underline k)\rangle\ \subsetneq\ \mathcal C_K^+=\langle\IC(\overline{\mathcal O_m},\underline k)\rangle\simeq\Shv_{\mathrm{cons}}(L^+\PGL_2\backslash LX)\ \subsetneq\ \mathcal C_K,\qquad V_{n\alpha^\vee}\ast\IC_0\simeq\IC(\overline{\mathcal O_{2n}}).$$ At the function level (SG) fails: for \(q\) odd by the square classes (Proposition J(2)), and for every \(q\) by the Hecke dimension count (Computation 2.8). The two levels agree; this \(X\) gives no instance of the divergence asked for.

  1. Two levels, one mechanism. The central \(\mu_2=\ker(\SL_2\to\PGL_2)\) acts as inertia on equivariant sheaves over \(\C\); over \(\F_q\) the same exact sequence produces the extra symmetry \(\sigma\), through its cokernel \(H^1(\F_q,\mu_2)\). Hecke operators are blind to both, because the convolution diagram is \(\PGL_2\)-equivariant (Lemma 2.3). The finer statement that only even labels are reached (Lemma 2.6, Proposition 2.7) is the geometric form of the count \(\dim\mathcal H_K\varphi_0\cap C_c(\{d\le2N\})=N+1\).
  2. What is used (the pages' standing assumptions). (i) \(\mathcal C_K\) is realised by a six-functor formalism of equivariant constructible sheaves on the placid quotient \(L^+G\backslash LX\), in which equivariant local systems on \(\mathcal O_\mu\) are representations of \(\pi_0\Stab(x_\mu)\) (Proposition III, discussion of H3H3 · Constant coefficients: on each orbit the heart consists of finite sums of the constant sheaf.; Chen–Yi, Appendix A), and natural automorphisms of the identity arise from 2-automorphisms of the stack (Lemma 2.2). (ii) For Lemma 2.6 and Proposition 2.7 only: the perverse t-structure with finite-length heart on each closed finite union of orbits, the characterisation of intermediate extensions, the finite-type slice models (Chen–Yi, Lemma 45, Prop. 47), and characteristic \(0\) for generic reducedness. (iii) Chen–Yi, Prop. 17 and Thm. 18, only for labelling. Nothing ℓ-adic is transferred: no weights, no decomposition theorem, no purity.
  3. Gaps. None for the main claim \(\Csat\ne\mathcal C_K\). For Proposition 2.7 the only input beyond (i) is (ii). The function-level statements of Computation 2.8 concern the split form \(\SL_2/T\); the \(\SO_2\)-form over \(\F_q\) was not analysed.
  4. Suggested entry for the Summary. Sheaves: "fails: \(\Csat=\langle\IC_{2n}\rangle\subsetneq\mathcal C_K^+\subsetneq\mathcal C_K\); witnesses \(\IC(\overline{\mathcal O_1},\underline k)\) (coverage) and \(\IC(\overline{\mathcal O_1},\mathcal L_1^-)\) (central inertia of \(-I\))". Functions: "fails for every \(q\) (dimension count); by square classes for \(q\) odd (Proposition J)". The open item of the Summary for \(\SL_2/\SO_2\) is closed.

  • Theorem 2.4 · \(\Csat\ne\mathcal C_K\) for \(\SL_2/\SO_2\): the sign local system on the first orbit is not generated
  • Proposition 2.7 · The Satake span is exactly the even-label, constant-coefficient part, strictly inside the even part
  • Computation 2.8 · Function level for \(\SL_2/T\): Lang count of \(K\)-orbits, the sign-class dictionary, and a Hecke dimension count for every \(q\)

Verdict: both levels fail for SL2/SO2, and the sheaf argument is the geometric form of J(2)

Target. \(X=\mathrm{SL}_2/\mathrm{SO}_2\), \(G=\mathrm{SL}_2\), \(k=\mathbb C\): \(\mathcal C^{\mathrm{Sat}}\neq\mathcal C\) (A2-4), with the exact description $$\mathcal C^{\mathrm{Sat}}=\langle\mathrm{IC}(\overline{\mathcal O_{2n}},\underline k)\rangle\ \subsetneq\ \mathcal C^+=\langle\mathrm{IC}(\overline{\mathcal O_m},\underline k)\rangle\simeq\mathrm{Shv}_{\mathrm{cons}}(L^+\mathrm{PGL}_2\backslash LX)\ \subsetneq\ \mathcal C\qquad(\text{A2-7}),$$ and \(V_{n\alpha^\vee}\ast\mathrm{IC}_0\simeq\mathrm{IC}(\overline{\mathcal O_{2n}})\) (A2-6).

Two levels. Functions: (SG) fails — for \(q\) odd by square classes (J(2)), for every \(q\) by the Hecke dimension count (A2-8(c)). Sheaves: fails (A2-4). The levels agree; this \(X\) gives no instance of the team question's disagreement. The sheaf-level proof is the geometric form of J(2): the central \(\mu_2=\ker(\mathrm{SL}_2\to\mathrm{PGL}_2)\) acts as inertia on equivariant sheaves over \(\mathbb C\), while over \(\mathbb F_q\) the same sequence produces the extra symmetry \(\sigma\) (cokernel \(H^1(\mathbb F_q,\mu_2)\)); Hecke operators are blind to both because the convolution diagram is \(\mathrm{PGL}_2\)-equivariant (A2-3). The finer statement A2-6/A2-7 (only even labels reached) is the geometric form of the count \(\dim\mathcal H_K\varphi_0\cap C_c(d\le2N)=N+1\).

What is used (same standing assumptions as the pages). (i) \(\mathcal C\) is realised by a six-functor formalism of equivariant constructible sheaves on the placid quotient \(L^+G\backslash LX\) in which equivariant local systems on \(\mathcal O_\mu\) are \(\mathrm{Rep}(\pi_0\operatorname{Stab}(x_\mu))\) (criterion.html H3 discussion; Chen–Yi App. A) and natural automorphisms of the identity arise from 2-automorphisms of the stack (A2-2). (ii) For A2-6/A2-7 only: perverse t-structure with finite-length heart on each closed finite union of orbits, BBD's characterisation of \(j_{!*}\), finite-type slice models (Chen–Yi Lemma 45, Prop 47), characteristic 0 for generic reducedness. (iii) Chen–Yi Prop 17/Thm 18 are used only for labelling. Nothing \(\ell\)-adic is transferred: no weights, no decomposition theorem, no purity.

Gaps. None for the main claim \(\mathcal C^{\mathrm{Sat}}\ne\mathcal C\). For A2-7 the only input beyond (i) is (ii). The function-level statements of A2-8 are for the split form \(\mathrm{SL}_2/T\); the \(\mathrm{SO}_2\)-form over \(\mathbb F_q\) was not analysed.

Suggested Summary row. Sheaves: 'fails: \(\mathcal C^{\mathrm{Sat}}=\langle\mathrm{IC}_{2n}\rangle\subsetneq\mathcal C^+\subsetneq\mathcal C\); witnesses \(\mathrm{IC}(\overline{\mathcal O_1},\underline k)\) (coverage) and \(\mathrm{IC}(\overline{\mathcal O_1},\mathcal L_1^-)\) (central inertia \(-I\))'. Functions: 'fails for all \(q\) (dimension count); square classes for \(q\) odd (J)'. Open item of summary.html §4 for \(\mathrm{SL}_2/\mathrm{SO}_2\) is closed.
