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.

Finite-dimensional Lie supermodule categories need not be semisimple

Statement refuted

Every finite-dimensional supermodule over every finite-dimensional complex Lie superalgebra is semisimple.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The module K(0,0), with v even and w odd.

[F1]

Bracket data for gl(1|1): gl(1∣1) has the displayed four-dimensional graded basis and bracket table.

[F2]

Two-dimensional highest-weight module data for gl(1|1): the action on K(0,0) is the specialization of the displayed family.

[F3]

The two-dimensional gl(1|1) action is well-defined: this action satisfies the gl(1∣1)-supermodule identity.

[F4]

Simple and semisimple Lie supermodules: semisimple means an internal direct sum of simple graded submodules.

[F5]

The gl(1|1) bracket data define a Lie superalgebra: the bracket data define a complex Lie superalgebra.

Counterexample

Take g=gl(1∣1) and the finite-dimensional module K(0,0)=Cv⊕Cw from Two-dimensional highest-weight module data for gl(1|1) and The two-dimensional gl(1|1) action is well-defined. Its action is h1v=h2v=0, h1w=−w, h2w=w, ev=0, ew=0, fv=w, and fw=0. The line Cw and the quotient K(0,0)/Cw are one-dimensional simple supermodules, but the extension does not split.

Proof technique: direct.

1.1F1F2F3F4given

The subspace Cw is a graded submodule: it is preserved by the diagonal operators h1,h2, while ew=fw=0. It is simple because it is one-dimensional and nonzero. The quotient line generated by v+Cw is also simple: h1,h2,e,f all act by zero on it.

1.2F1F2F3givenalgebra

The only graded complement to Cw would have even part Cv and zero odd part, since K(0,0)0ˉ=Cv and K(0,0)1ˉ=Cw. But fv=w∉Cv, so this complement is not a submodule. Thus the exact sequence with submodule Cw and quotient K(0,0)/Cw does not split.

2.1F1F2F3F4F5step 1.1step 1.2algebra∎

Any nonzero graded submodule containing an even vector contains v, hence also fv=w, and equals the whole module; a nonzero graded submodule with zero even part is exactly Cw. Thus Cw is the only simple graded submodule, and its direct sums cannot equal the 1∣1-dimensional K(0,0). By [F4], this module is not semisimple; [F5] confirms it is an instance covered by the refuted claim.
