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 level-zero trivial sl2 module
Example
The one-dimensional trivial representation of the loop central extension, with central level , is irreducible, unitary, and positive-energy in degree zero. Every Sugawara mode is zero on it, and its Virasoro central charge is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The one-dimensional complex Hilbert space , with every loop-current mode and the central generator acting by zero, and the degree-zero grading.
Positive-energy unitary module for an affine current algebra: a positive-energy unitary module has nonnegative energy grading, skew-adjoint compact modes, and a scalar central level.
Sugawara modes and their normal ordering: each Sugawara mode is a scalar multiple of a sum of normally ordered products of two current modes.
Sugawara modes satisfy Virasoro at every noncritical complex level: the central charge is in this module regime.
Dual Coxeter number for the normalized invariant form: for the normalized compact simple algebra.
Verification
The zero action respects the affine bracket because both the current bracket and its central term act as zero; is one-dimensional and every positive energy space is zero. The inner product is positive and the adjoint relation holds, so the stated representation meets [F1] and is irreducible.
Every summand in [F2] is a product of zero operators, hence for all . In [F3], and by [F4], so the denominator is nonzero and . Thus the Virasoro relation is the zero identity on this example.

Dependency tree · two levels
18 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
