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.

Kac Moody Kostant multiplicity formula

Statement

For a finite symmetrizable GCM, dominant integral Λ, and any μh, dimL(Λ)μ=wWdet(w)K(w(Λ+ρ)(μ+ρ)). Only finitely many terms are nonzero.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The stated datum, highest weight and target weight.

[F1]

Weyl Kac character formula gives the formal character quotient and its reduced-word height bound.

[F2]

Generalized Kostant partition function defines K by the inverse denominator, with finite values, K(0)=1 and zero off Q+.

Proof

1.1

Put λ=Λ+ρ and β=Λμ. A contributing w must satisfy γ=wλ(μ+ρ)Q+ by F2. F1's height bound gives δw=λwλQ+ and ht(δw)(w). Since β=δw+γ, no w contributes unless βQ+. If it does, (w)ht(β), so only finitely many words in the finite simple-reflection alphabet, and hence finitely many elements, can contribute.

2.1

Expand F1's inverse product using F2. The term indexed by (w,γ) has exponent w(Λ+ρ)ργ and coefficient det(w)K(γ). Equating this exponent to μ forces exactly the argument of K in the statement. The coefficient extraction is finite by step 1.1, so gives the displayed identity. For μ=Λ, step 1.1 forces (w)=0, and the value is K(0)=1. Outside the cone every summand and the corresponding weight space are zero. There is no analytic summation or choice of an infinite family.
