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.

Tensor, dual, and Hom representation formulas

Example

For representations $V, W$ , the induced actions are

$x (v \otimes w) = x v \otimes w + v \otimes x w,$

$(x λ) (v) = - λ (x v), x T = ρ_{W} (x) T - T ρ_{V} (x) .$

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Representations $V, W$ of the same Lie algebra.

[L1]

These constructions are asserted in Direct-sum, dual, Hom, and tensor representations.

Verification

technique · direct expansion illustrating the signs

1.1

Applying two tensor operators to $v \otimes w$ produces the two unmixed commutator terms $[x, y] v \otimes w$ and $v \otimes [x, y] w$ ; the mixed terms $x v \otimes y w$ and $y v \otimes x w$ occur with opposite signs and cancel.

1.2

On the dual, two applications give $(x (y λ) - y (x λ)) (v) = λ (y x v - x y v) = - λ ([x, y] v)$ , which is exactly the displayed dual action of $[x, y]$ .

1.3

On Hom, expanding the commutator of $T \mapsto ρ_{W} (x) T - T ρ_{V} (x)$ and its $y$ -analogue cancels the mixed composites and leaves $ρ_{W} ([x, y]) T - T ρ_{V} ([x, y])$ .

2.1

These computations verify the representation identity for all three formulas in [L1] and show why the dual minus sign and Hom subtraction are necessary.
