Finite control windows in orbit quotients #
Once residual finiteness has separated distinct subgroup translates of a finite control window, passage to the subgroup-orbit quotient is faithful on that window: its points remain distinct and the quotient creates no new instances of the chosen interaction relation. This is the set-theoretic locality statement used before transporting vertices, arrows, and meshes in the covering argument.
Two subgroup-orbits interact when some representatives interact. This definition is representative-free and does not require the relation to be invariant under translating its two variables independently.
Instances For
A window whose distinct subgroup translates are interaction-free has exactly its original interaction relation after passing to subgroup-orbits.
If the separated relation contains equality, the orbit map is injective on the control window.
Residual separation simultaneously embeds a finite window in a finite index subgroup quotient and preserves its interaction relation there.
Finite equivariant supports and support-detectable interactions supply the finite quotient preserving a finite control window.
