The span statement and the graded functionals at x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ #
Let F = freeProP 2 (Fin n) with n ≥ 4 even, let
r = x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ (x_{n-1}, x_n) be the normal-form word
TauCeti.demushkinWordTwoEven 0 f n with f ≥ 2 on the generators of F, and let ρ ∈ gr_1(F)
be its class. Its orientation is the character χ : F → ℤ_2ˣ with χ(x₂) = -1,
χ(x₄) = (1 - 2^f)⁻¹ and χ(x_i) = 1 otherwise, whose image is {±1} × U^(f). Throughout,
indices in the Lean statements are the 0-based indices of Fin n: x₂ is of ⟨1, _⟩ and x₄
is of ⟨3, _⟩.
For f ≥ 2 the factor x₃^{2^f} lies in λ_2(F), so ρ is also the class of the q ≠ 2 word
x₁² (x₁, x₂)(x₃, x₄) ⋯ (TauCeti.gradedMk_demushkinWordTwoEven_eq_gradedMk_demushkinWordNeTwo),
and the basis-modification map δ_ρ is the one of that word. What changes is the kernel of the
orientation. Its intersection with λ_1(F) is the intersection with λ_1(F) of the kernel X of
the exponent sum at x₄, because χ(x₂) = -1 has order two and λ_1(F) is generated by squares
and commutators
(ContinuousMonoidHom.apply_eq_one_of_mem_exponentSumKer_of_mem_pLowerCentralSeries_one). In
gr(X) the generator class ξ₂ is reached only through the derivative ∂₁ ρ = ξ₁ + ξ₂ at the
2-power generator x₁, so it is the exceptional generator of the constrained span statement of
Free/ExponentSumKernel.lean: Labute's Lemma 3 for this family reads, for every m ≥ 1,
gr_{m+1}(X) = δ_ρ(gr_m(X)^n) + ⟨π^{m+1} ξ_j : j ≠ 2, 4⟩ + 𝔽_2 π^m [ξ₂, ξ₄]
(gradedPieceOf_exponentSumKer_demushkinWordTwoEven_eq_map_basisModificationDelta_sup in
TauCeti.freeProP). The extra spanning vector π^m [ξ₂, ξ₄] is the class of (x₂, x₄)^{2^m}; it
is not in the image of δ_ρ, because the graded functional Δ_{m+1}(D₄) of the crossed
homomorphism D₄ for χ with D₄(x_j) = δ_{4j} takes the value 1 on it
(TauCeti.freeProP.gradedFunctional_crossedHom_gradedPowIterBracket_of_apply_eq_neg_one), while
every graded functional of a crossed homomorphism for χ vanishes on δ_ρ(gr_m(X)^n)
(TauCeti.freeProP.gradedFunctional_basisModificationDelta_demushkinWordTwoEven_eq_zero). Hence a
class of gr_{m+1}(X) lies in δ_ρ(gr_m(X)^n) exactly when it is killed by every Δ_{m+1}(D_i)
with i ≠ 2
(mem_map_basisModificationDelta_demushkinWordTwoEven_iff_forall_gradedFunctional_eq_zero in
TauCeti.freeProP). This is Labute's Lemma 4 for the second even-rank dyadic family, the finite
step of the successive approximation showing that a Demushkin group at p = 2 of even rank whose
orientation has image {±1} × U^(f) is presented by this word: the deviation of its relator from
the word, once it lies in gr_{m+1}(X) and is killed by all crossed homomorphisms for χ, is
removed by a basis correction inside X.

The constrained span statement #
The constrained span statement at the normal form x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯
(Labute, §4.2, Lemma 3). For n ≥ 4 even, f ≥ 2, the class ρ of the word, X the kernel of
the exponent sum at the generator x_3 (in the 0-based indexing of Fin n) and every m ≥ 1,
gr_{m+1}(X) = δ_ρ(gr_m(X)^n) + ⟨π^{m+1} ξ_j : j ≠ 1, 3⟩ + 𝔽_2 π^m [ξ_1, ξ_3].
This is the span statement on which the uniqueness argument for the dyadic even-rank Demushkin
groups with orientation image {±1} × U^(f) runs: the basis corrections must be taken inside the
kernel of the orientation, which meets λ_1(F) in X ∩ λ_1(F).
The graded functionals of the orientation #
A crossed homomorphism for the orientation kills the relator moved by a basis modification
inside the kernel of the character. For n ≥ 4, χ with χ(x₂) = -1, χ(x₄) (1 - 2^f) = 1 and
χ(x_i) = 1 for i ≠ 2, 4, a crossed homomorphism F for χ, and a family w of elements of
λ_m(F) on which χ is trivial, F (r⁻¹ · θ_w(r)) = 0 for r = x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯:
the character takes the same values on the modified tuple (x_i w_i) as on (x_i), and at those
values a crossed homomorphism kills the word.
The graded functional of a crossed homomorphism for the orientation vanishes on
δ_ρ(gr_m(X)^n) (Labute, §4.2, Lemma 4 (2)). For n ≥ 4, f ≥ 1, χ with χ(x₂) = -1,
χ(x₄) (1 - 2^f) = 1 and χ(x_i) = 1 for i ≠ 2, 4, a continuous crossed homomorphism F for
χ, the class ρ of r = x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯ and a family v of classes in
gr_m(X), where X is the kernel of the exponent sum at x₄, Δ_{m+1}(F) (δ_ρ(v)) = 0:
δ_ρ(v) is the class of r⁻¹ · θ_w(r) for a basis modification θ_w by elements of
X ∩ λ_m(F) ≤ ker χ, which F kills.
The graded functionals of the orientation on the exceptional class π^m [ξ₂, ξ₄] (Labute,
§4.2, Lemma 4 (3)). For χ with χ(x₂) = -1, χ(x₄) (1 - 2^f) = 1 and the crossed homomorphism
D_i for χ with D_i(x_j) = δ_{ij}, i ≠ 2, the value of Δ_{m+1}(D_i) on π^m [ξ₂, ξ₄], the
class of (x₂, x₄)^{2^m}, is 1 for i = 4 and 0 otherwise: D_i (x₂, x₄) = -2 D_i(x₄) up to
a unit, because χ(x₂) - 1 = -2.
The image of δ_ρ on gr_m(X)^n is the common kernel in gr_{m+1}(X) of the graded
functionals of the orientation (Labute, §4.2, Lemma 4 (4)). Let n ≥ 4 be even, f ≥ 2, ρ
the class of x₁² (x₁, x₂) x₃^{2^f} (x₃, x₄) ⋯, χ a continuous character with χ(x₂) = -1,
χ(x₄) (1 - 2^f) = 1 and χ(x_i) = 1 for i ≠ 2, 4, and X the kernel of the exponent sum at
x₄. For m ≥ 1, a class ε ∈ gr_{m+1}(X) lies in δ_ρ(gr_m(X)^n) exactly when
Δ_{m+1}(D_i) ε = 0 for every i ≠ 2, where D_i is the crossed homomorphism for χ with
D_i(x_j) = δ_{ij}: the functionals Δ_{m+1}(D_i), i ≠ 2, 4, read off the coefficients of the
tail π^{m+1} ξ_i, and Δ_{m+1}(D₄) that of the exceptional class π^m [ξ₂, ξ₄].
