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.
Partial-flag twist and local product decomposition
Statement
Let be a simple root, its minimal parabolic, , and . Let satisfy . The restriction of to that is zero on root spaces is a Lie algebra character. Define the partial-flag TDO on as the action-algebroid quotient whose isotropy character is this restriction of ; the subscript uses the convention that a TDO parameter has isotropy character . For a quasicoherent left -module , define on a Zariski product chart to be the ordinary inverse-image module : relative vector fields differentiate the first factor, and base operators act on the second. Its underlying sheaf is ; the differential transition maps are induced by the chain rule under changes of the -torsor section. Then these local modules glue to a quasicoherent left -module, and tensoring by turns it into a left -module. The restriction of to each -fiber is .
For a torsor section , the product chart used below is the commutative square whose top arrow is :
The left vertical map is projection, and the bottom map is identity. The torsor section makes an isomorphism; the equality verifies commutativity. The diagram records the local chart only; the PBW and gluing arguments below prove the TDO identifications.

is a Zariski-locally trivial right -torsor and ; in the rank-one case is a point (Zariski sections of Borel and minimal-parabolic orbit maps, A minimal-parabolic flag projection is a projective-line bundle).
The action-algebroid quotient construction has the ordered-basis PBW filtration with associated graded the symmetric tangent algebra, and tensoring by an integral line bundle changes the TDO parameter by its weight (Flag-variety twisted differential operators and their modules, PBW and integral line-bundle twisting for flag TDOs).
Proof
The derived algebra is spanned by positive-root spaces and the rank-one subalgebra . The functional vanishes on the root spaces by its definition and on by the assumed zero pairing. It therefore kills the derived algebra, so it is a Lie algebra character of . Its transport to the isotropy bundle on is well-defined because a character is invariant under conjugation by the connected group . Applying the PBW quotient construction of [F3] to the action algebroid of on defines with associated graded .
Choose a Zariski open with a section of the -torsor, as in [F2]. For a principal -bundle , write its Atiyah algebroid as , the bundle of -invariant vector fields with its anchor and bracket. The infinitesimal left -action identifies the action algebroid of on with this Atiyah algebroid for : on each fiber the left fundamental fields identify with , and the sign convention is the one in the displayed action-algebroid bracket. The section identifies with , so the Borel torsor is . Its Atiyah algebroid splits as , with zero cross-brackets because the two factors act on separate coordinates. The action algebroid of on similarly becomes the Atiyah algebroid of , locally ; quotienting its isotropy by leaves , which is the local form of . In the vertical factor , the rank-one isotropy character is zero because vanishes on the root spaces and on ; the central isotropy acts trivially on and its scalar relation adds no relative differential operator. Thus the vertical quotient is the rank-one TDO with parameter , which by [F3] is . The PBW normal forms of the direct-product algebroid therefore identify The line bundle restricts to degree on the fiber because its associated character pairs to with ; hence its restriction is .
On overlaps, write the torsor sections as for a regular map . The change of product trivialization is . On the Atiyah algebroid it is the gauge transformation of the product principal -bundle: its base component includes the derivative of in , and its fiber component is the differential of left multiplication by on . The quotient of the base component by is exactly the transition of ; the fiber component acts by the chain rule on relative operators. The isotropy character is preserved because it is a Lie-algebra character invariant under , and the equality makes the gauge maps compose, giving the cocycle identity. Thus the local product TDO identifications agree on overlaps. The local ordinary inverse-image modules glue to : in product coordinates a vertical field acts by , and a base operator acts by its derivative on plus its given action on . The chain rule is precisely the algebroid transition just checked, so this is a module for the pulled-back TDO, not its regular left module. Finally [F3] identifies as a -module because tensoring by shifts the parameter from to .
