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.
Even-subalgebra types determine small graded Clifford modules
Example
For signatures , , , , and , the even subalgebras are respectively , , , , and . Hence their graded-simple module counts and coefficient types are respectively one real, one real, one complex, two real, and one complex.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The positive-square-first convention and the five real Clifford algebras in the Example.
The even subalgebra of is for and for (Even subalgebras of real and complex Clifford algebras).
Graded-simple Clifford modules correspond to simple modules over the even subalgebra; matrix algebra factors determine their coefficient types (Irreducible graded Clifford modules and real, complex, and quaternionic types).
The Clifford algebra of the zero vector space over is (The zero-dimensional Clifford algebra is the base field).
Verification
For and , [F1] gives even algebras and ; [F3]–[F4] identify these with and . For and it gives and . For it gives by [F4].
The fields and each have one simple module of their own coefficient type, while has two simple modules, one supported on each factor. Applying [F2] therefore gives the five counts and types in the Example. In every positive-dimensional case an invertible odd generator identifies the two parity components, so each resulting graded module has equal dimensions in degrees and .
