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 Heisenberg algebra from a two-cocycle

Example

Let a=kxky be abelian and let kz be the trivial one-dimensional a-module. The alternating form determined by

ω(x,y)=z

is a 2-cocycle. Its associated abelian extension is the three-dimensional Heisenberg algebra

[x,y]=z,[x,z]=[y,z]=0.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The displayed two-dimensional abelian algebra and trivial module over a characteristic-zero field.

1.1

Since both the bracket of a and its action on kz are zero, every term in the Chevalley–Eilenberg differential of a 2-cochain vanishes. Equivalently, the possible target C3(a,kz) is already zero because 3a=0. Hence dω=0.

1.2

The same triviality makes the differential C1C2 zero, so the nonzero form ω is not a coboundary. Indeed C2(a,kz) is one-dimensional, generated by xyz.

2.1

On kza define [(a,u),(b,v)]=(ω(u,v),0); this is the usual cocycle-extension formula here because the action and the bracket of a are both zero. It is bilinear and alternating, and Jacobi holds because every bracket lies in kz0, which brackets to zero. Its kernel kz0 is abelian, its quotient is a, and the induced action is trivial, so it is the abelian extension represented by ω. Its only nonzero basis bracket is [(0,x),(0,y)]=(z,0). Renaming the three basis vectors gives exactly the displayed Heisenberg relations. This checks the zero and one-dimensional boundary spaces explicitly and uses no choice.
