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 commutative differential algebra gives a vertex algebra
Example
Let with its usual polynomial addition and multiplication, vacuum , and derivation . Define Then this state–field map makes a vertex algebra. The series is finite for each , so it is also a useful example where formal lower truncation is immediate.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , and the state-field convention of Vertex algebra in the state–field convention.
is the coefficientwise formal derivative on polynomials and obeys ; the multiplication on is commutative with unit .
Vertex algebra in the state–field convention requires lower truncation, , , , translation covariance, and locality.
Proof
If , then ; otherwise let , so for and is a polynomial in . Hence has finite support in nonnegative powers for every , and its coefficients define a field. Direct substitution gives and . Also .
For any , the derivation law in [A1] gives , so translation covariance holds.
Each acts by multiplication by . Multiplication operators commute because is commutative, so for every . Thus locality holds with exponent . All axioms of [F1] are verified.

Dependency tree · two levels
3 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.
