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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The setting above and the hypotheses in the example.
Fix a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra , a Cartan subalgebra , and a positive Borel . Write , when , and . For a linkage class , let be the full subcategory of objects all of whose simple composition factors have labels in . Then , and each nonzero is indecomposable as a categorical direct summand. These are precisely the blocks. Each lies in ; a central-character summand can contain several blocks. Independently, grouping weights by cosets of the root lattice gives a canonical coarser decomposition by weight cosets. (Central-character summands refine into linkage blocks)

Restricted Chevalley duality is an exact contravariant equivalence , with a natural isomorphism .

Verification
The integral pairing is , and the two distinct dot-orbit labels are and . The integral Weyl group is the full order-two Weyl group, so these labels form one block. At the shifted pairing is , and the irreducibility criterion makes its Verma simple.
Write in . The relations and give and for , by commuting past the copies of ; . The negative nilpotent algebra is one dimensional, so its PBW monomials give one-dimensional Verma weight spaces. The singular vector generates the embedded , which is also the embedding supplied by F4.
The quotient has basis . A nonzero submodule contains a weight vector, and applying repeatedly reaches , since for . Applying then generates the whole quotient. It is simple, hence is . A split sequence would make a sum of two proper submodules, contrary to its unique maximal submodule. For the quotient consists just of and the same argument holds.
By F8, exact duality fixes both simples; it reverses the sequence, and F9 identifies the middle term as , giving the displayed costandard sequence. If it split, its dual would split the original. The costandard socle is by F3. Since , F8 and F9 also give .
