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 projection from to a highest weight crystal for
Example
Let with as in Kashiwara strings in the three-dimensional -module. Then and the Kashiwara operators on the negative half act by and (with ), so with , , , , , formal and actual lowering length .
For () let have basis (, the highest weight vector) as in Divided-power commutation and the simple string modules(iii), and let , . Then:
(a) for , and restricts to a bijection ;
(b) for ; this raising compatibility is asserted only for surviving residues. It fails at the killed residue , where the left side is and the right side is the nonzero bottom residue . Lowering compatibility holds for every , with both sides zero for .
(c) for the map is an isomorphism, and for ; these are the large-weight instances of Projection from to and its compatibility with the Kashiwara operators.
Choice. The example's own rank-one computations are choice-free, but it cites the general projection lemma Projection from to and its compatibility with the Kashiwara operators and The crystal basis of the negative half, whose proofs inherit the axiom of choice from the grand loop; The Axiom of Choice is therefore declared as a dependency.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The rank-one datum of , the divided powers , the module with basis , and the projection .
is the polynomial algebra on ; the skew derivation satisfies with kernel the constants, so the divided monomials have the single string component at position ; hence with and (Kashiwara's skew derivations and on the negative half, The -string decomposition of the negative half).
has divided basis with , for the string positions and endpoint zeros, and with residue basis (Divided-power commutation and the simple string modules, part (iii), The Kashiwara operators and of an integrable module, The Kashiwara lattices and and their generating sets).
The projection lemma and the negative-half crystal theorem give, for general highest weights, the lattice projection, the surviving-residue bijection, the operator compatibilities on surviving residues, the residue basis of and the infinite lowering length; their proofs inherit the axiom of choice, declared here (Projection from to and its compatibility with the Kashiwara operators, The crystal basis of the negative half, The Axiom of Choice).
Invariants of a crystal: , formally on the negative half, (The crystal graph, , and the weight function).
Verification
The negative-half crystal. By [F1], the divided monomials form a field basis of the polynomial algebra, and . Reducing this free direct sum modulo shows that the residue classes () are nonzero and linearly independent modulo ; the operators act as and , . Hence , with weights , , formal and .
The module crystal. By [F2], for and for ; so for and for . The classes are a -basis of , and the operator action on them is the string action, so the surviving residues map bijectively onto ; this is (a).
Raising compatibility and its failure. For one has for and for , while for and for ; hence the two sides agree for every surviving residue. At the killed residue , the left side is , while the right side is modulo ; this is the stated boundary failure. Lowering: for and for , while for and for , so both sides agree for every .
Isomorphism in fixed degree. In root degree the free -module is the one-dimensional span of with residue , and is the one-dimensional span of with residue for ; the map sends to , an isomorphism on these one-dimensional free modules, and its surviving-residue set is when and empty otherwise. Together with step 3.1 this is the large-weight instance of the projection lemma.
Choice. The computations of steps 1.1 through 4.1 use only explicit monomials, divided powers and one-dimensional free modules, so they are choice-free; the axiom of choice is declared because the cited general suppliers [F3] inherit it from the grand loop.
