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.

Local nilpotence of only the ei does not imply integrability

Statement refuted

False claim: for a Kac–Moody weight module, local nilpotence of every simple raising operator ei implies integrability.

For any finite GCM with at least one simple index, MA(λ) has every ei locally nilpotent, but no fi is locally nilpotent on its highest vector. In particular A=[2], λ=0 gives a weight-module counterexample even at dominant integral highest weight.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Verma module for a finite GCM with at least one simple index.

[F1]

Every lowering power fiNvλ is nonzero, and the Verma module is not integrable (A kac moody verma module is not integrable in general).

[F2]

The Verma module is a weight module with support in λQ+ (Universal property and pbw character of kac moody verma modules).

Counterexample

1.1

Let v have weight λβ with β=jbjαjQ+. Applying eiNv gives a vector of weight λβ+Nαi. For N=bi+1, its difference below λ has i-coordinate 1, so it is not in Q+ by independence of the simple roots. F2 implies that weight space is zero, hence eibi+1v=0. Every vector has finitely many weight components; taking one plus the maximum of their i-coefficients gives an exponent killing all components. For the zero vector take exponent one. Thus every ei is locally nilpotent on the entire module.

F2given
2.1

F1 supplies the same module's nonzero highest vector on which every power of fi is nonzero. It therefore fails integrability despite the verified raising condition. In the rank-one example at λ=0, the vector fkv0 has weight kα, so step 1.1 gives ek+1fkv0=0, while fNv00 for every N. For k=0 the raising bound is one; arbitrary finite sums use the maximum bound, not a global uniform bound. The simple index set must be nonempty for the failed lowering requirement to exist. This calculation is choice-free.
