The small exponent-separation facts used in Borisov's Assertion IV. They
are consequences of the two homomorphisms from the free base <d,e> to
Z, and keep the later Britton-pinch proof independent of word syntax.
The homomorphism recording the total exponent of e in the free base group.
Equations
Instances For
The cyclic-group homomorphism multiplying an exponent by four.
Instances For
Distinct rule exponents 1,2,3 cannot differ by a nonzero multiple of
four in the right associated subgroup <d,e⁴>.
The symmetric exponent-separation fact in <d⁴,e>.
Borisov Assertion IV: the four boundary cases #
This file formalizes the finite case analysis on page 770 of Borisov's
paper. A displayed basis factor is either one of the stable letters or a
decorated rule word d^i W_i e^i; its Boolean sign records whether the
factor or its inverse occurs. The theorem boundary_pinch_forces_inverse
says that a Britton pinch between consecutive factors forces those factors
to be formal inverses. Consequently no such boundary pinch occurs in a
freely reduced word on the displayed basis.
The nonzero integer exponent i + 1 associated with a rewriting rule.

The four cases in Borisov's proof of Assertion IV. If consecutive signed displayed factors have opposite signs and their touching stable letters form a Britton pinch, their basis indices are equal.
A freely reduced adjacent pair of displayed factors cannot have a Britton pinch across its boundary.
