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.
Simple rational representations are finite-dimensional
Statement
Let be an affine group scheme of finite type over a field . Then every simple rational representation of is finite-dimensional (Rational representations and comodules of an affine group scheme, Simple and semisimple rational representations).
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An affine group scheme of finite type over with coordinate Hopf algebra , and a simple rational representation , so and the only subrepresentations of are and (Simple and semisimple rational representations).
Finite-dimensional subcomodules. For every finite subset of an -comodule there is a finite-dimensional subcomodule containing ; consequently is the directed union of its finite-dimensional subcomodules (Every element of a comodule lies in a finite-dimensional subcomodule).
Subrepresentations are subcomodules. Under the comodule dictionary, subrepresentations of correspond to subcomodules, and a nonzero subcomodule is a nonzero subrepresentation (Rational representations and comodules of an affine group scheme).
Proof
Since , choose a nonzero vector .
By [F1] there is a finite-dimensional subcomodule containing .
By [F2] the subspace is a subrepresentation of ; it is nonzero because . Since is simple, its only subrepresentations are and , so . Hence is finite-dimensional, as claimed.
Remarks
- The only input is Milne 4.8: the comodule structure makes every element lie in a finite-dimensional subcomodule, and a simple module cannot have a nonzero proper submodule.
- No hypothesis on beyond being a field is used, and no choice principle: the finite-dimensional subcomodule is produced from finitely many coefficients of .
