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 rational spectral R-matrix has singular parameter values
Example
Use and the operators of The rational spin-1/2 spectral R-matrix. In the ordered basis , the matrix of is
The symmetric subspace has eigenvalue and dimension three, and the antisymmetric subspace has eigenvalue and dimension one. For , the corresponding eigenvalues are and . Hence both operators are invertible exactly when . The parameterized Yang-Baxter identities hold for all parameter triples, including triples containing these singular parameter values, but a singular operator cannot be assigned to a braid-group generator.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The matrices and of The rational spin-1/2 spectral R-matrix, the identities of The rational spin-1/2 spectral R-matrix satisfies Yang-Baxter, and the braid-group representation interface.
The rational spin-1/2 spectral R-matrix satisfies Yang-Baxter: for all , both the un-checked and checked spectral equations hold with parameters , , and .
Yang–Baxter operators on an object: a Yang-Baxter operator is an invertible endomorphism satisfying the braid-form equation; invertibility is part of the definition.
A Yang–Baxter operator gives braid-group representations: an invertible Yang-Baxter operator gives a homomorphism from each Artin braid group B_n into the automorphism group of the corresponding tensor power.
Verification
The flip has eigenvalue on the three-dimensional symmetric subspace, with basis , , , and eigenvalue on the one-dimensional antisymmetric subspace spanned by . Therefore has eigenvalues and on these two subspaces, while has eigenvalues and .
At , vanishes on the antisymmetric line and has rank three; at , it vanishes on the symmetric subspace and has rank one. Thus both and are invertible exactly away from and . At , and are invertible.
Set , , . Then the checked identity in [F2] has the factors , , and , and both and are singular by step 2.1. Thus these maps cannot be images of braid-group generators in an automorphism group: the required invertibility in [F3] fails.
At the checked operator is . Its local operators on every tensor power are scalar and satisfy the Artin braid and distant-commutativity relations; they are invertible because is nonzero. Thus the assignment does define a braid-group representation, consistent with [F4].
