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.

A non-Poisson bivector cannot be a first-order star commutator

Statement refuted

Every smooth bivector field on a smooth manifold is the first-order antisymmetric commutator of some unital associative formal deformation of its function algebra.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The coordinate bivector convention on R3, and the first-order obstruction statement in [F3].

[F1]

General Poisson manifolds from bivector fields: in coordinates, {f,g}π=πij(∂if)(∂jg).

[F2]

Coordinate Jacobi and Schouten self-bracket criterion for Poisson bivectors: the bracket satisfies Jacobi exactly when the coordinate Jacobiator coefficients vanish.

[F3]

The first-order commutator of an associative deformation is Poisson: the first-order skew part of any unital associative formal deformation of a commutative algebra is a Poisson-algebra bracket.

Counterexample

1.1givenF1construct

On R3 with coordinates (x,y,z), take the smooth bivector π=x ∂y∧∂z+y ∂z∧∂x+xy ∂x∧∂y. By [F1], its coordinate brackets are {y,z}π=x, {z,x}π=y, and {x,y}π=xy.

2.1F1F2step 1.1algebra

Using the biderivation rule, its Jacobiator on these coordinate functions is {{x,y}π,z}π+{{y,z}π,x}π+{{z,x}π,y}π={xy,z}π+{x,x}π+{y,y}π=x2−y2. At (x,y,z)=(1,0,0) this is nonzero; by [F2], π is not Poisson.

3.1F3step 2.1algebra∎

If a unital associative formal deformation had this first-order skew bracket, [F3] would force that bracket to satisfy Jacobi, contradicting step 2.1. Therefore this smooth bivector is not the first-order antisymmetric commutator of any such deformation, refuting the universal claim.
