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 N=1 supercharge bracket is a translation
Example
Use the complexified algebra of Complexified four-dimensional N=1 super-Poincare bracket data and The complexified N=1 super-Poincare bracket data satisfy super-Jacobi. Let be the standard basis of , and let be the coordinate-dual basis of . Set , , and . These four form a basis of the translation space, and For the explicit Pauli basis and dual-basis translation elements defined in step 3.1, this becomes the familiar convention . The braces denote the superbracket of two odd elements, hence the anticommutator whenever the action is realized by odd elements of an associative superalgebra.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The bracket data of the complexified N=1 super-Poincare superalgebra and the tensor-product translation space .
Complexified four-dimensional N=1 super-Poincare bracket data: for , , and the translation space is .
The complexified N=1 super-Poincare bracket data satisfy super-Jacobi: this bracket data define a complex Lie superalgebra.
Associative superalgebra over the complex numbers: in a graded associative representation, the superbracket of odd operators is their anticommutator.
The elementary tensors of two bases form the product basis of the tensor product: for free modules over a commutative ring with specified bases, the elementary tensors form a basis of their tensor product.
Linear functionals and the algebraic dual : the algebraic dual consists of all complex-linear maps from to .
Every field is a commutative ring with ; it is an integral domain, and it is a commutative division ring: the complex field is a commutative ring.
Verification
The coordinate forms are linear by [F5]. For any and , linearity gives , hence ; evaluating at proves their independence. Thus and are bases of the two free -modules. By [F6], the scalar ring is commutative; [F4] then makes their four elementary tensors a basis of and hence of the translation space.
The bracket formula in [F1] gives . Because both entries are odd, graded skew symmetry makes this bracket symmetric; in a graded associative representation [F3] identifies it with the anticommutator. Same-chirality odd brackets vanish and translations commute by the definition in [F1].
Let , , , and . Direct multiplication gives , so is trace-dual to the four . The trace-pairing identity makes the linearly independent; since a matrix has four entries, they form a basis of . Regard as a matrix with entries in , and define . The dual-basis expansion gives . This is an invertible coordinate change followed by multiplication by the nonzero scalar , so the form a basis of translations and the displayed normalization follows. The dotted bar on is a chiral label, not complex conjugation. This algebraic normalization supplies no real form, positive-energy representation, or field-theoretic off-shell closure.
