The universal unrestricted virtual braid group splits as the semidirect product of its pure subgroup with the symmetric group. The permutation epimorphism onto the symmetric group admits a group-theoretic section carrying each transposition to the class of the corresponding virtual generator, so the pure sequence of the unrestricted setting splits. This is Proposition 4.5 of the paper.

/-!  Milestone 6 (Proposition 4.5): the universal unrestricted virtual
braid group splits as the semidirect product of its pure subgroup with the
symmetric group. The permutation epimorphism onto the symmetric group
admits a group-theoretic section, carrying each transposition to the class
of the corresponding virtual generator. -/

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

Restate: in a forbidden-relations world with at least three strands, there exists a homomorphism from the symmetric group on the strands to the unrestricted quotient such that the permutation of the image of any permutation is that permutation. Hypotheses: the world is given; the number of strands is at least three; no further hypotheses appear.
