Restricting t-structures detected by a t-exact functor #

This file formalizes Steps 2--4 of Polishchuk's Theorem A.17 from arXiv:2607.28411v1. If a t-exact functor detects membership in chosen bounded subcategories, then restriction of the target t-structure forces restriction of the source t-structure. If the functor also reflects zero objects, the two halves of the restricted source t-structure are recognized exactly on the target; these are formulas (A.3) and (A.4). Boundedness of the restricted source t-structure then follows from boundedness of the images, which is Step 4.

The theorem is independent of schemes and of the compact-generation argument that constructs the large source t-structure in Step 1.

The functor and adjunction restrictions this file used to own -- liftOfLE, preimageLift, inverseImageLift, liftToInverseImage, and the two Adjunction.restrictInverseImage* -- mention no t-structure and now live at their carrier's path, CategoryTheory/ObjectProperty/Lift.lean, which this file imports.

Step 2 of A.17: restriction of the target t-structure and detection of the two bounded subcategories imply restriction of the source t-structure.

The proof compares truncations using Functor.mapTruncLEIso and Functor.mapTruncGEIso. Thus the conclusion is derived from t-exactness and bounded-subcategory detection; it is not included among the premises.

Formula (A.3) against the large target t-structure, with no target subcategory: the content of Step 3 of Theorem A.17, in the shape Theorem 2.8(1) of arXiv:2607.28411v1 recognizes the base-changed slicing. Right t-exactness gives →; for ←, F (τ^{≥ n+1} X) ≅ τ'^{≥ n+1} (F X) = 0 by t-exactness, τ^{≥ n+1} X ∈ P by P.HasInducedTStructure t, and zero reflection at that truncation finishes. That is why truncation stability of P and zero reflection on P are exactly the hypotheses.

Formula (A.3) on the restricted categories, for P ≤ F⁻¹ Q: the large target statement isLE_iff_isLE_map, restated inside Q. hle enters only in that restatement.

Formula (A.3) on the restricted categories.

Zero reflection is required only on objects of P, matching A.17's conservativity-on-bounded-objects hypothesis: the proof applies hzero at a truncation of an object of P, and truncations stay in P by the induced t-structure. A caller with global conservativity weakens it pointwise.

Formula (A.4) against the large target t-structure, as isLE_iff_isLE_map.

The induced t-structure on Q is bounded exactly when Q consists of t'-bounded objects, the form in which Step 4 of Theorem A.17 consumes a bounded target subcategory.

Step 4 of Theorem A.17 with no target subcategory: if F sends P into the t'-bounded objects, the induced t-structure on P is bounded.

Formula (A.4) on the restricted categories, for P ≤ F⁻¹ Q, as tStructure_isLE_iff_map_of_le.

Formula (A.4) on the restricted categories.

As in tStructure_isLE_iff_map, zero reflection is required only on objects of P.
