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 standard two-dimensional module extends to the enveloping algebra
Example
Let and let be the Lie algebra of traceless complex matrices with commutator bracket. The standard action is matrix multiplication. In the usual basis, put
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , the subspace of consisting of trace-zero matrices, and the commutator bracket .
Lie algebras over a field: a Lie algebra is a vector space with a bilinear alternating bracket satisfying the Jacobi identity.
Representations of Lie algebras: with commutator is a Lie algebra, and a representation is a Lie-algebra homomorphism into it.
Lie representations are U(g)-modules: restriction along and extension by the enveloping-algebra universal property give mutually inverse correspondences between Lie representations and scalar-compatible unital left -modules.
Verification
The matrices are linearly independent and every trace-zero matrix is for unique . Direct multiplication gives , , and . By bilinearity the span is closed under commutators, and it inherits alternation and Jacobi from ; hence it is the stated Lie algebra.
The inclusion is linear and preserves the bracket because both brackets are the same matrix commutator. Thus is a Lie-algebra representation.
By [F3], this representation extends uniquely to a scalar-compatible unital left -module on . This uses neither PBW nor injectivity of the canonical map into the enveloping algebra.
