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 with positive root , , and , , dominant integral. Then for every , and the Weyl character formula (The Weyl character formula) gives a sum of terms; the Weyl dimension formula (The Weyl dimension formula) gives ; the boundary case gives the one-term character and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, with its positive root , fundamental weight , Weyl group , Weyl vector , and the dominant integral weights with .
The Axiom of Choice is assumed; it enters through the character and dimension formulas below (The Axiom of Choice).
, , , and ; the length of is (The Weyl vector rho for a chosen positive system, Integral, dominant, and strictly dominant weights).
for every , and the Weyl character formula and Weyl dimension formula read and (The Weyl alternation operator, The Weyl character formula, The Weyl dimension formula).
In the completed ring the elements are invertible with , and is invertible with inverse , because is invertible (The completed formal character ring, Geometric series are invertible in the completed character ring, The Weyl denominator identity).
For the module is the finite-dimensional simple module of highest weight (Highest-weight classification).
Verification
By [F2] the character is , the quotient being the formal product with the inverse of [F3].
Multiplying the displayed quotient by telescopes: , so the finite sum of terms is the product of the numerator with the inverse of and hence equals by step 1.1.
By [F2] the dimension formula gives , since by [F1] and the positive system consists of the single root ; specializing to gives for the character and for the dimension.
