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 . Let be a coadjoint orbit and let . If satisfy then for every ; the same holds in the second argument. Consequently the KKS formula
assigns a well-defined alternating bilinear form to each tangent space , since every tangent vector at is of the form .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a coadjoint orbit , a point , and with .
is countable choice; it is used only through the fundamental-field and orbit suppliers cited in [F1] and [F2].
The fundamental field of the coadjoint action satisfies for all . The coadjoint representation, action and orbits, Fundamental vector fields for a left action.
The infinitesimal orbit map , , has kernel the stabilizer Lie algebra and image all of . Kernel of the infinitesimal orbit map.
The KKS formula is . The Kirillov--Kostant--Souriau form on a coadjoint orbit.
Proof
Put . The hypothesis gives , so lies in the kernel of the infinitesimal orbit map, that is by [F2].
For every , [F1] evaluates the vanishing field at as . Hence by bilinearity of the bracket.
The second argument is treated by alternation: if , then by applying step 2.1 to and using for ; equivalently, the form is alternating, so its value depends skew-symmetrically on the two arguments.
Since every tangent vector of at equals for some 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 .

26 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
