Abstract

This paper organizes finite tensor–quiver reconstruction for reductive source data. For a fixed reductive Zariski-closed subgroup H of a reductive complex group G and a faithful finite-dimensional representation, the standard mixed-tensor reconstruction theorem and Noetherianity imply that finitely many H-invariant tensors have common stabilizer H. Classical quiver invariant theory then implies that finitely many traces of oriented cycles separate closed orbits, including semisimple realizations. For GL₂/ℚ, we give a restricted application of Cheng’s symmetric-square limiting distribution. After a finite-level cuspidal block has been specified and a target constituent selected by an interpolating Hecke test function built from that block’s Hecke characters, ratios of trace-formula distributions recover the first two Satake power sums at auxiliary unramified places, provided Cheng’s hypotheses hold and the full selected coefficient is nonzero. This is post-selection recovery, not a method for identifying the target constituent, and applies only to the nonzero-coefficient visible subset.

Provenance statement

This paper was developed through a human-directed, substantially AI-assisted research and writing process. GPT 5.6 Luna and GPT 6 were used iteratively to support mathematical research and exploration, test algebraic identities and proof steps, search for and compare related literature, formulate and refine arguments, and draft and revise the manuscript. AI assistance was also used to edit the abstract, organize the exposition, and prepare and check the LaTeX source and compiled PDF. The author directed the research tasks, set the intended scope, and guided the development and revision of the manuscript. The mathematical checking included AI-assisted examination of theorem statements, proof dependencies, algebraic calculations, and the hypotheses and limitations of the automorphic application. Build and consistency checks were used to identify compilation, citation, reference, and layout problems. These procedures do not establish mathematical correctness or constitute independent peer review. The work has not undergone an independent human specialist audit of every proof. The author accepts responsibility for the submitted manuscript, including its claims, attribution, and any errors or gaps that may remain. This statement is intended to make the substantial role of AI tools in the research, mathematical checking, and writing process explicit.
