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 Countable-Mode CAR Algebra Has a Non-Fock-Equivalent Irreducible Representation
Statement refuted
The false statement is: every irreducible representation of the countably infinite-mode CAR C*-algebra is unitarily equivalent to its occupation-space Fock representation.
Let be the Fock representation on , and let exchange every annihilator with its creator. Then is irreducible and is not unitarily equivalent to .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The countably infinite-mode CAR algebra, its Fock representation, and the particle-hole automorphism.
The representation is irreducible and inequivalent to (Countable-Mode CAR Has Inequivalent Irreducible Representations).
Counterexample
The automorphism is defined on the same countable-mode CAR algebra, so composing the Fock representation with gives another representation of that algebra.
By [F1], this representation is irreducible but not unitarily equivalent to . It is therefore a counterexample to the universal claim that every irreducible representation is Fock-equivalent.
