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.
Fermionic Fock Space over a Complex Hilbert Space
Definition
Assume Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()), and let be a complex Hilbert space. For each , let be the Hilbert exterior power with the Gram-determinant inner product and wedge convention of Hilbert exterior powers and induced operators, with . The algebraic direct sum , where distinct particle-number summands are orthogonal and the inner product on a finite sum is the sum of the component inner products, is an inner-product space. Its norm completion exists under Countable Choice by Every metric space has a completion, constructed as the equivalence classes of its Cauchy sequences and has its compatible Banach-space and Hilbert-space structures by The metric completion of a normed space carries a unique compatible Banach-space structure and The norm completion of an inner-product space is a Hilbert space. The fermionic Fock space over is this Hilbert completion. The vacuum vector is the image of in the completion.
On finite sums of decomposable wedges define the creation rule for . This rule is initially defined on a dense subspace. Its bounded extension and the CAR relations for and its Hilbert-space adjoint are proved in Fock Creation and Annihilation Operators Satisfy the CAR.

Dependency tree · two levels
56 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
