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.
Half-period values of the square lattice
Example
Let be the square lattice with its oriented basis , let with invariants , put , and let , , be the three half-period values. Then:
- , so ;
- the other two half-period values and are the two elements of the pair of roots of ; with the normalisation one has and literally, and ;
- the four branch values of the torus form of — the images of its critical points (Ramification index, ramification order and branch value) — are exactly , and .
The verification below evaluates no Eisenstein sum: it uses the scaling identity at , the symmetry , and the cubic differential equation.

Verification
(The square lattice, its symmetry and its half-periods.) Since every complex number is uniquely with , the pair spans over and forces , so are real-linearly independent and is a full complex lattice with oriented basis , as ; multiplication by maps into itself because and both lie in it, and multiplication by is a bijection of with inverse multiplication by (as ), which also preserves , so ; with the oriented basis the half-periods of the degree-two lemma are , , , and these are nonzero classes, so ; moreover , and lie in , and .
(The scaling identity for the -series.) Let be a full lattice, and ; then is again a full lattice, because vanishes for real only if , and is a bijection ; for every finite one has by the multiplication formula and ; the finite subsets of are exactly the image sets , so the finite-subset net defining is the constant plus times the finite-subset net defining , which converges at by the absolute-convergence clause; hence .
(The scaling identity at .) Taking and in step 1.2, and using from step 1.1 as well as , gives for every .
(The cubic relation at each half-period.) Fix : by step 1.1, and , so the degree-two lemma gives ; since , the differential equation may be evaluated there, giving , and with for the square lattice this reads .
(The vanishing .) By step 1.1, and with ; hence lies in the domain of and the periodicity and step 2.1 give , so , and since is a field in which this forces ; thus .
(The two nonzero half-period values and the factorisation of the cubic.) By step 3.1, , and by the degree-two lemma are pairwise distinct, so ; step 2.2 for then gives with , hence and , that is in the field , so forces and ; consequently , and substituting and gives the polynomial identity , so the cubic has exactly the roots , which are pairwise distinct; with the normalisation one has and , so the other two half-period values and are exactly the two distinct roots of .
(The four branch values.) By the degree-two lemma the torus form of has critical points exactly , with branch values and , so by the definition of a branch value its branch locus is the four-element set ; by step 4.1 this set is with , so the branch locus of consists exactly of the four distinct values .
(Assembly.) Step 3.1 proves for , so the half-period value is ; step 4.1 proves that and are the two distinct roots of for the normalisation , and that ; step 5.1 proves that the branch values of the torus form of are exactly . These are the three assertions of the example. ∎
Remarks
The sign in comes from the scaling identity alone: is a similarity of the square lattice, and under it is multiplied by , while and differ by the period . The remaining half-period values are then forced by the cubic: everything is a root of because , and the two nonzero roots sum to zero, matching . The four branch values of the degree-two map are consequently and the three finite values — the two-element pair beyond being exactly the pair of nonzero roots, without any need to evaluate numerically.
