How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The A1 Nakajima correspondence in the fundamental sl2 representation
Example
For the one-vertex, no-arrow quiver with framing dimension one, the two nonempty Nakajima fibres are points at and . On their fundamental classes , the Hecke correspondence gives
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The A1 quiver varieties and their point Hecke correspondence, with basis ordered by dimension .
Verification
In the ordered basis , the six actions in [F1] give the displayed matrices column by column.
Direct multiplication gives , , and . Therefore , and , the defining brackets.
Two distinct one-dimensional modules over the generic Jordan Hall algebra
Example
Let and let be the generic Jordan Hall algebra. By The generic Jordan-quiver Hall algebra is the symmetric-function ring, as an algebra, where is the generator corresponding to the class . The assignments give two different one-dimensional Hall modules on the same -vector space , by .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The generic Jordan Hall algebra over and the Hall-module definition.
The generic Jordan-quiver Hall algebra is the symmetric-function ring: the generators freely generate the generic Hall algebra as a polynomial algebra, so any assignment of their values in a commutative -algebra extends uniquely to a unital -algebra homomorphism.
Modules over a Hall algebra are unital algebra representations: a unital representation defines a Hall-module action by .
Verification
By [F1], assigning values to the free polynomial generators extends uniquely to a unital -algebra homomorphism for both and .
For define . Multiplicativity and unit preservation from step 1.1 make a unital representation, so [F2] gives a Hall-module action on .
The actions differ because while . Thus the same one-dimensional vector space carries two different Hall-module structures.
Degree-one normalization for the Jordan Hall Green pairing and Fock action
Example
For (), the ordinary symmetric-function Hall form has norm , while the transported Jordan Green pairing has norm . If is multiplication by , its adjoints therefore satisfy and the normalized Fock operator has the usual derivative action ; both adjoints kill . Here denotes the adjoint characterized by for the indicated bilinear form; the diagonal nonzero power-sum norms make these adjoints well-defined degree by degree.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The standard Hall form, the transported Green pairing, and the normalized positive mode from the A-page Fock representation.
The Hall inner product on symmetric functions and Power sums are orthogonal for the Hall form: for all partitions , so .
Jordan Hall classes are Hall–Littlewood functions with the transported Green pairing: the transported Green pairing is diagonal, , so .
Verification
The Hall norm formula in [F1] gives because ; the Green norm in [F2] gives . At both are by the empty-product convention.
For either form and any power-sum monomial of degree , orthogonality makes the pairing of with vanish unless . Nondegenerate diagonal norms then force each adjoint image of to be a multiple of . Comparing against that monomial gives and .
By [F3], , so , the same as the standard Hall adjoint. At the degree-lowering adjoints send to zero.
