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.
Quantum Verma and simple modules for sl2
Example
Use the standard rank-one datum , , , and . Thus is generated by with . For , put and write .
The Verma module has ordinary-power basis , , where . Its actions are The divided-power basis instead satisfies
(a) For , the submodule generated by is the tail spanned by , . Its quotient is simple of dimension , with divided-power basis and the second set of actions, with . For it is trivial.
(b) For , the raising coefficients in the divided-power basis are for every . Hence is irreducible, infinite-dimensional and not integrable. Its highest weight is integral and is not dominant.
(c) For every , at all , so the same conclusions hold. Thus dominance in The integrable quantum highest weight module exists and is unique is essential.
Facts & Assumptions

For the Serre quotient is the simple module and is universal among integrable cyclic highest weight modules of weight (The integrable quantum highest weight module exists and is unique).
Verification
Basis and action. By [F1], the ordinary-power vectors are a basis, with and . Evaluating [F2] on gives . The geometric sums satisfy and , so . Dividing by gives the displayed actions on .
The dominant quotient. For , by step 1.1. The tail spanned by , , is stable under by those formulas, and it is exactly the submodule generated by because repeated generates every tail vector. Therefore its quotient has basis and the stated truncated divided-power actions. For a nonzero vector with largest occupied index , : lower-index terms are killed. Any submodule containing contains and then every , so the quotient is simple. The empty product covers and gives the trivial module.
The boundary . Here for . For a nonzero finite sum with , , including the empty product when . A submodule containing therefore contains and every ; is simple. It is infinite-dimensional by its basis, and for all , so it is not integrable. The label is integral and is not dominant.
For , all scalars , , are nonzero. The same largest-index argument gives for each nonzero finite sum. Thus is simple, infinite-dimensional and non-integrable, with integral non-dominant highest weight. The explicit dominant strings in step 2.1 and these negative cases prove all stated conclusions.
