Dual-invariant vanishing (M^∨)^C = 0 (lem:simplehead, part 2) #
The deepest simple-head fact, proved from ⊆-minimality and chief-ness alone — no
equivariant identification of M/T with the chief factor is needed:
Let φ : M →ₗ 𝔽₂ be C-invariant, and let J ≤ Y be the preimage in K of the
multiplicative kernel of φ. Then J is Y-normal (invariance), Φ(K) ≤ J ≤ K,
and J ⊔ S is a Y-normal subgroup between S and P. By chief-ness it is S
or P:
- if
J ⊔ S = P, ⊆-minimality ofKforcesJ = K, soφ = 0; - if
J ⊔ S = S, then[Y, K] ≤ J ≤ S(the conjugation差 of anyk ∈ Klands in the kernel becauseφis invariant), and withP = K·Severy chief-factor commutator[y, n]lands inS— the factor would be scalar, contradictingchief.nontrivial_action.
Hence φ = 0 (towerDualInv_zero). Everything here is proved — no axioms.

Invariance makes the preimage normal #
The kernel subgroup is stable under all descended conjugations.
J is normal in Y.
The conjugation difference of any kernel element lies in J:
y k y⁻¹ k⁻¹ ∈ J for all y : Y, k ∈ K.
The chief dichotomy #
Dual-invariant vanishing (lem:simplehead): a C-invariant functional on
M = K/Φ(K) is zero.
