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.
The semi-infinite q-wedge Fock space and its q-adic topology
Definition
Fix a charge and let be the finite q-wedge spaces of The finite q-wedge space and the normal-ordering relations. For define the connecting map , so that new entries are the consecutive ground tail appended to a prefix of length . The charge- Fock space is the algebraic direct limit of the finite wedge spaces along these maps; equivalently it is the quotient of the eventually-vacuum tensor space by the local wedge kernels. Write for the image of the normally ordered semi-infinite word with entries indexed by the positive parts of the partition , so that the vacuum corresponds to .
The Laurent, positive and integral charts of are
The separated q-adic topology on the full field space is the one induced by the filtration , never by ; a finite -label component completes to a -lattice, and the full-field component completes to for the label-weight pieces. Separately, the integral -chart completes to a -lattice; this completion is not identified with and is not asserted to carry a -vector-space topology.
Vacuum weights. For with and the vacuum -weight is normalised by and ; explicitly, if with , then
The weight of the partition is , its size is a separate grading, and the -eigenvalue is minus the number of residue- cells; no periodicity is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The charge , the finite wedge spaces , the connecting maps , the direct limit , the three charts, the filtration , and the normalisation of .
The normally ordered wedges with strictly decreasing indices are a field basis and a Laurent basis in every , and the straightening stays inside the index interval (Normally ordered q-wedges form a basis for every finite wedge length).
inside the -th slot is the loop operator; the residue of is and for (The level-zero vector representation, its affinization and the level-one crystal energy).
The loop operator itself shifts a slot by , so its -th power shifts it by ; simultaneous translations preserve local index differences and hence the finite wedge relations. The levels of the vector-weight differences and are (The level-zero vector representation, its affinization and the level-one crystal energy, The cyclic affine type A Cartan datum and its residues).
Verification
Finite-stage spanning and ordered-tail stabilization. Start with a finite word of length and choose so that the last appended ground index is below all its original indices. Its image at stage has entries, all at least . By [F1], its finite straightening is a finite sum of normal tuples . For each resulting tuple put . Then and , so extending by zeros gives a partition. Every subsequent connecting map appends ground indices , strictly below the normal tuple's last entry; that image is already normal and is the longer prefix of the same partition word. Thus every direct-limit element is a finite combination of partition words with a stable representative under these ordered-tail extensions. Maps with different finite codomains are not equated.
Direct verification of the vacuum weights. Let with and , and put . It gives . If , subtraction of the formula for gives . Here , so this is exactly by [F2]. If , use : subtraction gives , and has precisely this weight. These integer identities also hold for negative . The base value and this recurrence uniquely determine the weights for all integer charges. The partition label is consequently the stipulated , whose -evaluation is by the explicit datum; size remains the separate grading. No fractional change of an integer loop exponent or infinite unregularized weight sum is used.
Partition indexing and direct-limit independence. An eventually-ground normal word has with weakly decreasing and eventually zero; hence the are nonnegative and form a partition, and every partition gives such a word. For finitely many distinct partitions choose a common prefix length containing all their nonzero rows and every position where two words differ. Each partition prefix is normal and has last index . Its next appended index is , strictly smaller, so every later image remains a normal basis word, and the distinct partition images remain distinct. If a finite linear combination vanished in the algebraic direct limit, it would vanish at some common later finite stage: a colimit relation uses finitely many connecting-map relations, which can all be moved to that common stage. Independence of the finite normal basis in [F1] then forces every coefficient to vanish. Together with step 1.1, this proves the partition basis without assuming that arbitrary finite words survive tail attachment.
The charts and the topology. Each displayed chart is free on the partition basis over its own ring. Both and contain , and coefficientwise: an integral Laurent polynomial is regular at zero exactly when it has no negative powers. Neither chart is identified with the other. A nonzero vector of the local -chart has finitely many nonzero coefficients, each of finite -valuation, so . On each finite label component the completion of is , and inverting gives the field completion ; the corresponding full-field component is . Separately the completion of the integral -chart is . The Laurent lattice has and therefore supplies no separated -adic filtration. These statements concern the componentwise completions stipulated in the Definition; no full infinite direct sum is identified with a finite-rank completed lattice.
Conclusion. The charge- Fock space is the algebraic direct limit of the finite wedge spaces along the ground tails, with a basis indexed by all partitions, the three charts are distinct free lattices, the separated topology is induced by (never by ), and the vacuum weights are for .
