The proof in three parts

The paper first builds the standard form A0 from the radical grading of the module category, then proves Theorem B outside characteristic two, and finally realizes A as a binary fibre of a family of deformations of A0 in characteristic two.

Part I: the standard form and characteristic not two

Graded realization

The associated graded category of ind(mod A) for the radical filtration is the mesh category k(ΓA) (Proposition 2.6), and evaluation at the projective objects is an equivalence onto mod A0 (Proposition 2.10).

Graded realization

Rays and scalar normalization

Rays give a basis compatible with all two-sided ideals. Lifting to the universal cover of the mesh complex and descending along the free deck group gives a normed multiplicative basis of A0 (Proposition 4.14).

Scalar normalization

Mesh deformations

Outside characteristic two the linearized mesh derivative is surjective (Proposition 5.3), so higher error terms in the mesh relations can be removed degree by degree (Proposition 5.4). This proves Theorem B.

Theorem B

Part II: deformations in characteristic two

Positive deformations

Internal-degree bounds for Ext lift the indecomposable modules of A0 to every positive filtered deformation (Lemma 6.3, Proposition 6.5).

Module lifting

Weights and parameters

Integer ray weights and residual characters control the positive Hochschild cohomology (Propositions 7.2–7.6). A family whose fibres keep the ray basis recovers A as a binary fibre (Theorem 7.7, Proposition 7.9).

Family criterion

Part III: multiplicative bases in characteristic two

Local ray geometry

Bimodule retractions onto representation-infinite incidence and bound-quiver algebras restrict how rays factor (Section 8, Appendix C).

Proper products

Integral lifting

A Bockstein map for coefficients modulo four shows that zero-supported cocycles span the positive Hochschild cohomology (Theorem 9.1, Corollary 10.5).

Bockstein argument

Binary families

Zero-supported cocycles form an associative family over a polynomial ring (Proposition 11.3). A is a binary fibre, where the basis of A0 stays normed and multiplicative (Theorem 11.7).

Final basis

Further results

Section 12 of the paper, also formalized, gives completeness of the lifted modules, a normal form for the filtered mesh relations, flatness of polynomial mesh perturbations, the full Hochschild comparison and the polynomial mesh comparison.
