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.

No commutation between divided powers of distinct indices with is assumed anywhere.
Facts & Assumptions

if and only if (for integers ), and for all ; consequently whenever (Quantum integers, factorials, Gaussian binomials and divided powers at ).
Verification
The vector is singular. For the raising operator : by [F2], . For : commutes with by [F2], so . Also by [F1], so is a highest weight vector of weight .
Local nilpotence of , first the Serre rewrite. Claim: for every () one has with coefficients that may depend on . For this is [F3] solved for : the coefficient is , giving . If the claim holds for , then , and substituting the expansion into the last term expresses it in the required form with .
The submodule is proper. Since each is a highest weight vector killed by all and acted on by the torus by scalars, the triangular decomposition gives . Hence is spanned by vectors whose labels lie in , all of which are strictly below in the order of [F1]; therefore the top component of vanishes, , and : the quotient is nonzero with . Being a quotient of by a graded submodule, is graded with label-weight spaces that are quotients of the finite-dimensional spaces ; its support lies in and its top space is .
Local nilpotence of on every vector. We prove by induction on the word length that for every word there is an integer with for . For , in the quotient by its defining relation, and therefore for . For the step, write . If then for . If , let and let ; for the rewrite of step 1.2 gives with , so each by induction and . Thus works. Since is spanned by the finitely many word classes in each label piece, a general vector is a finite combination of such classes and is killed by a large power of : is locally nilpotent on .
Local nilpotence of on : if is a nonzero vector of label , then has label , and by the support bound of step 2.1 a nonzero vector of that label requires , i.e. . Hence for , uniformly for of that label: is locally nilpotent.
The universal property and conclusion. Let be an integrable cyclic highest weight module of weight with highest vector (, , ). By the universal property of the Verma module there is a surjection , . Let be minimal with (it exists since is integrable). If then ; applying and using the rank-one reordering of [F2] gives , so and hence by [F4]. Therefore the surjection kills every , hence kills , and factors through : every integrable cyclic highest weight module of weight is a quotient of . Together with the preceding construction this proves (i), (ii) and (iii); no commutation between distinct adjacent-root negative divided powers was used, only the quantum Serre relation and the cross-half commutation.
