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 KKS formula is independent of the Lie-algebra representatives

Statement

Assume ACω. Let O be a coadjoint orbit and let βO. If ξ,ξg satisfy ξO(β)=ξO(β) then β([ξ,η])=β([ξ,η]) for every ηg; the same holds in the second argument. Consequently the KKS formula

ωβ(ξO(β),ηO(β))=β([ξ,η])

assigns a well-defined alternating bilinear form to each tangent space TβO, since every tangent vector at β is of the form ξO(β).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, a coadjoint orbit O, a point βO, and ξ,ξg with ξO(β)=ξO(β).

[A1]

ACω is countable choice; it is used only through the fundamental-field and orbit suppliers cited in [F1] and [F2].

[F1]

The fundamental field of the coadjoint action satisfies ξg(β)(η)=β([ξ,η]) for all η. The coadjoint representation, action and orbits, Fundamental vector fields for a left action.

[F2]

The infinitesimal orbit map gTβO, ξξO(β), has kernel the stabilizer Lie algebra gβ and image all of TβO. Kernel of the infinitesimal orbit map.

[F3]

The KKS formula is ωβ(ξO(β),ηO(β))=β([ξ,η]). The Kirillov--Kostant--Souriau form on a coadjoint orbit.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Put ζ:=ξξ. The hypothesis gives ζO(β)=0, so ζ lies in the kernel of the infinitesimal orbit map, that is ζgβ by [F2].

F2given
2.1

For every ηg, [F1] evaluates the vanishing field at η as ζg(β)(η)=β([ζ,η])=0. Hence β([ξ,η])=β([ξ,η])+β([ζ,η])=β([ξ,η]) by bilinearity of the bracket.

step 1.1F1
3.1

The second argument is treated by alternation: if ηO(β)=ηO(β), then β([ξ,η])=β([ξ,η]) by applying step 2.1 to η,η and using β([ζ,])=0 for ζgβ; equivalently, the form β([,]) is alternating, so its value depends skew-symmetrically on the two arguments.

step 2.1F1
4.1

Since every tangent vector of O at β equals ξO(β) for some ξg by [F2], steps 2.1 and 3.1 show that the KKS prescription depends only on the two tangent vectors, so it defines a unique bilinear alternating form on TβO.
