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.
A rational representation of the multiplicative group from a graded comodule
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice for the finite-type construction of . Let be a field, let and let be a finite-dimensional -vector space with a direct-sum decomposition into weight spaces (all but finitely many zero). Then is a comodule structure on over the coordinate Hopf algebra (Rational representations and comodules of an affine group scheme), and the corresponding rational representation (Rational representations of an affine group scheme are comodules of its coordinate Hopf algebra) is the homomorphism whose action on is multiplication by the scalar . Conversely, every comodule structure on arises in this way: putting gives and . If is a basis of weight vectors, the associated comorphism sends to , and the matrix coefficients satisfy the identities of Rational representations of an affine group scheme are comodules of its coordinate Hopf algebra.
Verification
Given: AC for the finite-type construction of , a field , the group with coordinate Hopf algebra , a finite-dimensional -vector space with weight decomposition , and the coaction .
[F1] The comultiplication, counit and antipode of are determined by , and for all , and the points of over a -algebra are the units , acting by . (The general linear group scheme and its coordinate ring)
[F2] A rational representation corresponds to a comodule structure by , and for a finite-dimensional comodule with coefficients the identities , hold and the associated comorphism sends . (Rational representations of an affine group scheme are comodules of its coordinate Hopf algebra, Rational representations and comodules of an affine group scheme)
[F3] The Laurent polynomial ring has unique finite monomial expansions. For each integer , the coefficient map is therefore linear, and takes to . Hence a zero tensor expression has all . (Basis of a vector space: a linearly independent spanning subset; and ordered basis: an injective finite list whose image is a basis, The tensor product from the additive group underlying the free -module on , elementary tensors, and finite tensor sums, Linear subspace of a vector space)
The map is a comodule structure: by [F1], and .
Conversely, let be any comodule structure on the finite-dimensional space . Writing with finitely many nonzero terms, coassociativity and [F1] give , so ; by [F3] each , so with . The counit identity gives , so the span , and a relation with gives and hence by [F3]; thus . Applying the construction to a finite basis of , the union of the finitely many supports of its coaction expressions spans by weight vectors; hence all other vanish. Each is a linear subspace because its defining condition is linear.
By [F2] the associated representation is for ; since is mapped to , the action on each is multiplication by the scalar , and is a group homomorphism because is multiplicative; hence defines the stated rational representation.
Let be a basis of weight vectors with , so that ; by [F2] the matrix coefficients satisfy and , and the associated comorphism sends to . For , use with comorphism and no matrix entries. Together with steps 1.2 and 2.1 this proves both directions of the stated dictionary, using only the explicit monomial basis of and finitely many weight spaces.
