Kaplansky Idempotent Conjecture via Group-Algebra Rigidity Persistence

Canonical Lane (defined term): the manifold-constrained local-to-global closure architecture (KID1-KID8)

Canonical Lane research workspace for a flagship problem in algebra and geometric group theory: proving absence of nontrivial idempotents in admissible group algebras through an admissible algebraic-rigidity closure architecture.

Local Reproducibility Command

bash repro/run_repro.sh

This writes repro/certificate_runtime.json.

How To Read This Professionally

1. Theorem chain first: read paper/KAPLANSKY_IDEMPOTENT_CONJECTURE_PREPRINT.md.
2. Constants provenance second: audit paper/EXTRACTION_SPEC.md, artifacts/constants_extraction_inputs.json, artifacts/constants_extracted.json, and artifacts/promotion_report.json.
3. Pipeline third: run bash repro/run_repro.sh to audit hashes, provenance, and gates; it is reproducibility infrastructure, not theorem generation.

Release modes:

• normalized: status=normalized_placeholder allowed when explicitly labeled.
• fully_extracted: requires status=derived_numeric for all required constants and stitch keys.

Current KID runner policy:

• repro/run_repro.sh extracts, promotes, runs scripts/kid_closure_guard.py, updates repro/repro_manifest.json, and enforces fully_extracted release-gate mode.

Routing Rule (inclusion discipline)

Every claim-bearing item must be routed through all three layers:

1. main preprint section/appendix,
2. mirror note under notes/,
3. artifact key consumed by scripts/kid_closure_guard.py.
