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 β∈O. If ξ,ξ′∈g satisfy ξO(β)=ξO′(β) then β([ξ,η])=β([ξ′,η]) for every η∈g; 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 β∈O, and ξ,ξ′∈g 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 g→TβO, ξ↦ξO(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

1.1F2given

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

2.1step 1.1F1

For every η∈g, [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.

3.1step 2.1F1

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 ζ∈gβ; equivalently, the form β([⋅,⋅]) is alternating, so its value depends skew-symmetrically on the two arguments.

4.1step 2.1step 3.1F2F3A1∎

Since every tangent vector of O at β equals ξO(β) for some ξ∈g 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.
