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 top-degree Borel-Weil-Bott case and Serre duality
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Let with , let and put , so that is regular with Weyl element and . Then The Borel-Weil-Bott theorem gives and the Serre pairing is perfect; both sides are eight-dimensional. This is the , top-degree case of Borel-Weil-Bott is compatible with Serre duality with and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, with its standard Cartan, simple roots , fundamental weights , , the flag variety of dimension , the longest element and the weight .
In the simple roots are , the positive roots are , and the Weyl vector is with ; the longest element satisfies , hence , and , while the dot action is (Classical complex matrix Lie algebras, Root systems of the classical complex Lie algebras, Fundamental weights for a chosen simple root system, The Weyl vector in fundamental coordinates, The Weyl vector, Length and longest Weyl-group element).
Borel-Weil-Bott: for regular with Weyl element , and all other cohomology vanishes (The Borel-Weil-Bott theorem).
Compatibility with Serre duality: for regular with Weyl element and , the Weyl element of is and the Serre pairing identifies with , matching with (Borel-Weil-Bott is compatible with Serre duality).
and Serre duality gives a perfect pairing ; moreover : the Weyl dimension formula is , since and for the three positive roots (Canonical weight of a flag variety, Serre duality for locally free sheaves on a smooth projective variety, The Weyl dimension formula, Root systems of the classical complex Lie algebras, The Weyl vector in fundamental coordinates).
Verification
By [F1], ; then , and is dominant, so the Weyl element of is with , while .
Applying [F2] to by step 1.1 gives and for .
For the pairing, and with , so [F3] identifies with and matches its two sides as and ; [F4] supplies the perfect Serre pairing to . Both and its dual are eight-dimensional by [F4], so both sides of the pairing are eight-dimensional.
Collecting steps 2.1 and 3.1 gives the asserted top-degree Borel-Weil-Bott computation and the perfect eight-dimensional Serre pairing.
