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.
Changing the line-bundle sign changes the Borel-Weil section space
Statement refuted
The false statement is that the two sign conventions and give the same Borel-Weil answer, so that replacing by in the construction of the line bundle is harmless.
Counterexample
Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Let and consider the two bundles attached to : the library convention of The equivariant line bundle associated to a Borel character and the opposite convention . For the reader who silently replaces by gets so the opposite convention gives zero sections where the library convention gives a nonzero irreducible module. The line bundle is dualized by the sign change, but its space of sections is not obtained by dualizing the original space of sections. The two conventions are not interchangeable.
Given: The Axiom of Choice, with upper triangular Borel and flag variety , an integer , the fundamental weight , the library bundles , and the opposite bundles .
By definition of the sign convention, is ; hence , and for the fibre is all of with the restriction of isomorphic to by the degree computation for the minimal parabolic fibre under the fixed identification of with .
For the twist has negative degree, so it has no nonzero global sections by the projective-space cohomology computation Cohomology of O(d) on projective space; in particular .
On the other hand is dominant integral, so the Borel-Weil theorem The Borel-Weil theorem gives , which is nonzero because an irreducible representation has a nonzero highest weight vector. Thus the two conventions answer differently: the sign change replaces the dual irreducible representation by zero, and the two constructions are not interchangeable.
