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.
Quadratic sl2 comoment action on the symplectic plane
Example
Let with coordinates and . Let with bracket . Use the basis , , and . Define the real-linear map by
Write and for the coordinate derivative operators. Then is a comoment map under Symplectic comoment maps and Hamiltonian observable actions, and its observable operators are
These operators give the real three-dimensional matrix Lie algebra its observable representation. By Comoment maps act on observables by Poisson derivations, they preserve both pointwise multiplication and the Poisson bracket on all smooth functions; the Verification also checks the commutators on an arbitrary smooth test function and gives explicit product and bracket-preservation calculations.

Verification
The form is smooth and alternating, and because . For , ; if this is zero, then . Thus is nondegenerate at every point and is symplectic by [F1]–[F2].
Every real traceless matrix is uniquely , so is a basis of the stated vector space. Matrix multiplication gives , , , , , and . Consequently , , and ; the span is closed under commutators. The ambient endomorphism algebra has the commutator Lie bracket by [F3], and the closed subspace therefore inherits its bilinearity, alternation, and Jacobi identity by [F4]. This verifies the stated convention without identifying it with the library's complex .
Differentiating the three quadratic functions gives , , and . By [F5], , , and . The matrix bracket is alternating by [F4], and swapping the inputs in the coordinate formula [F5] negates the Poisson bracket; both are bilinear. Since is a basis, these three pairs, their reversals, and the zero diagonal pairs establish the comoment identity for every .
Applying [F5] to arbitrary gives , , and . The result in [F7] supplies the two Poisson-derivation identities for every pair of smooth functions.
Write and ; for smooth these are equal. Direct composition gives , , and . These are exactly the three matrix brackets from step 1.2; bilinearity extends them from basis elements to all of .
For and , , while . Thus the product rule is directly verified on this nontrivial pair.
For and , the coordinate bracket gives , so . Also and , whence . This checks bracket preservation directly on a nonconstant pair, while [F7] establishes it for all smooth functions.
