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.

Weyl character and dimension formulas for sl2

Example

Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Take g=sl2 with positive root α, W={1,s}, ρ=α/2 and λ=mω, ω=α/2, m≥0 dominant integral. Then A(ν)=eν−e−ν for every ν, and the Weyl character formula (The Weyl character formula) gives ch⁡L(mω)=e(m+1)ω−e−(m+1)ωeω−e−ω=emω+e(m−2)ω+⋯+e−mω, a sum of m+1 terms; the Weyl dimension formula (The Weyl dimension formula) gives dim⁡L(mω)=((m+1)ω,α)/((ω,α))=m+1; the boundary case m=0 gives the one-term character ch⁡L(0)=1 and dim⁡L(0)=1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Choice, g=sl2 with its positive root α, fundamental weight ω=α/2, Weyl group W={1,s}, Weyl vector ρ=ω, and the dominant integral weights mω with m≥0.

[A1]

The Axiom of Choice is assumed; it enters through the character and dimension formulas below (The Axiom of Choice).

[F1]

α=2ω, W={1,s}, sω=−ω, ρ=ω and λ+ρ=(m+1)ω; the length of s is 1 (The Weyl vector rho for a chosen positive system, Integral, dominant, and strictly dominant weights).

[F2]

A(ν)=eν−e−ν for every ν∈h∗, and the Weyl character formula and Weyl dimension formula read ch⁡L(λ)=A(λ+ρ)A(ρ)−1 and dim⁡L(λ)=∏α∈Φ+(λ+ρ,α)/(ρ,α) (The Weyl alternation operator, The Weyl character formula, The Weyl dimension formula).

[F3]

In the completed ring R the elements e±ω are invertible with eωe−ω=e0, and eω−e−ω=eω(1−e−α) is invertible with inverse e−ω(1−e−α)−1, because 1−e−α is invertible (The completed formal character ring, Geometric series are invertible in the completed character ring, The Weyl denominator identity).

[F4]

For m≥0 the module L(mω) is the finite-dimensional simple module of highest weight mω (Highest-weight classification).

Verification

By [F2] the character is ch⁡L(mω)=A((m+1)ω)A(ω)−1=(e(m+1)ω−e−(m+1)ω)(eω−e−ω)−1, the quotient being the formal product with the inverse of [F3].

2.1F3step 1.1algebra

Multiplying the displayed quotient by eω−e−ω telescopes: (eω−e−ω)(emω+e(m−2)ω+⋯+e−mω)=e(m+1)ω−e−(m+1)ω, so the finite sum emω+e(m−2)ω+⋯+e−mω of m+1 terms is the product of the numerator with the inverse of eω−e−ω and hence equals ch⁡L(mω) by step 1.1.

3.1F1F2F4step 1.1∎

By [F2] the dimension formula gives dim⁡L(mω)=((m+1)ω,α)/((ω,α))=m+1, since λ+ρ=(m+1)ω by [F1] and the positive system consists of the single root α; specializing to m=0 gives A(ω)A(ω)−1=e0=1 for the character and (m+1)=1 for the dimension.
