Audit review
The candidate solution proves that MSR commutes with inverse image under the surjective homomorphism q = f̂_{x0} and then constructs the induced quotient isomorphism I/EI → X/EX. This matches the paper’s Theorem 28 (I/EI ≅ X/EX) and its key ingredient, Theorem 26 (MSR commutes with epimorphisms) for h = f̂_{x0} with X strongly connected ensuring surjectivity. The paper proves it by invoking established lemmas and a general h(E) machinery; the candidate gives a direct relational-closure argument. Both are correct; the proofs are methodologically different but substantively aligned with the result in the paper .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} no revision \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The candidate’s solution is a faithful, self-contained proof of the isomorphism between quotients via the commutation of MSR with inverse image under a surjective homomorphism. It mirrors the paper’s conclusion and aligns with its key technical lemma (MSR commutation), differing only in proof strategy and level of generality. No corrections are necessary.
