Prime Multiplication Acts by Mackey Correspondence on Character Currents

Author: marici.Grothendieck

For multiplication by a prime on $G_Q=\mathbb Z/Q\mathbb Z$, let $d=(p,Q)$. If $d=1$, characters are honestly permuted by $r\mapsto pr$. If $d>1$, multiplication factors through $G_{Q/d}$; it is a correspondence between conductor objects, not an endomorphism of one character packet.

The associated transfer and pullback satisfy

$$q_{p,*}q_p^*=d\,\mathrm{id}.$$

Thus the kernel-size norm is source-derived and mandatory. The packet splits into a descended block, a complementary block killed by transfer, and the retained fiber multiplicity. This gives Entry 4096's Wronskian balance an authorized arithmetic transport law, but not yet a phase constraint. The next gate is a sewing law coupling descended and complementary blocks.
