Categorical transfer lemma

FPRD-ST-L02

Faithful-forgetful separability transfer

Exact statement

Let C→BC\to B be finite superalgebras in Rep⁡fH\operatorname{Rep}^fH. If B⊗CB→BB\otimes_C B\to B has an even bimodule section after forgetting HH, and CC is internally absolutely flat, then BB is internally absolutely flat.

StatusProved and hostile-audited within FPRD Lab
External reviewNo external or specialist review is recorded; the proof has passed a hostile internal audit.

Context

The separability section need not respect the group action. It is used only after applying the exact faithful forgetful functor.

Hypotheses and scope

  • C is internally absolutely flat.
  • The underlying superalgebra extension is separable by an even B-bimodule section.

Proof or evidence

After forgetting equivariance, tensor product over B is a natural retract of tensor product over C on every equivariant short exact sequence. Retracts preserve exactness, and faithful forgetting reflects it.

Verification notes

The audit removed the stronger and unnecessary assertion that internal C-flatness implies ordinary flatness against arbitrary nonequivariant modules.

Limitations

  • The conclusion concerns internal modules and exact sequences in the equivariant ind-category.
  • No equivariant separability section is asserted.
