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.
Two-Mode CAR Signs and a Matrix Unit
Example
Order the two-mode occupation basis as . The operators defined by the finite occupation formulas are
The minus signs occur when mode is toggled while mode is occupied.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The two-mode occupation basis and the operators in Finite CAR Occupation Operators Give All Matrix Units.
For two modes, is the projection onto basis states containing , and projects onto (Finite CAR Occupation Operators Give All Matrix Units).
The universal two-mode CAR algebra is (The Finite-Mode CAR Algebra Is a Full Matrix Algebra).
Verification
Reading columns of the displayed matrices gives and . Applying the operators in the reverse order gives and , while both products vanish on the other three basis vectors. Hence . The adjoint matrices give the corresponding creation relations, and their same-mode products satisfy when , when , and on each of the four basis vectors.
For the mixed distinct-mode relation, on one has and ; on both terms sum to zero by the displayed matrices. Thus . This confirms the sign convention for modes in the order .
By [F1], . The operator sends to and kills the other three basis vectors, so it is the matrix unit . Together with the general formula in [F1], this is one explicit off-diagonal matrix unit inside the algebra of [F2].
