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.

Statement

Fix a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra g, a Cartan subalgebra h, and a positive Borel b=hn+. Write Q+=iZ0αi, μλ when λμQ+, and wλ=w(λ+ρ)ρ.

For MO and Z=Z(U(g)), the image algebra Z/AnnZ(M) is finite dimensional over C.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The setting above and the hypotheses in the statement.

[F1]

Fix a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra g, a Cartan subalgebra h, and a positive Borel b=hn+. Write Q+=iZ0αi, μλ when λμQ+, and wλ=w(λ+ρ)ρ. Let M be a finitely generated h-semisimple g-module. Then MO if and only if suppMi=1r(λiQ+) for some finite list of weights. In either case every Mμ is finite dimensional. The list may be empty for M=0; finite generation is an independent hypothesis. (The support description of category O with finite generation)

[F2]

Fix a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra g, a Cartan subalgebra h, and a positive Borel b=hn+. Write Q+=iZ0αi, μλ when λμQ+, and wλ=w(λ+ρ)ρ. The BGG category O is the full subcategory of left U(g)-modules M satisfying all three conditions: M is finitely generated; M=μhMμ where Mμ={v:hv=μ(h)v for all hh}; and U(n+)v is finite dimensional for each vM. Its morphisms are all g-linear maps. The zero module is included, generated by the empty set. The enveloping and triangular conventions are those of thm-pbw-ordered-monomial-basis-for-the-enveloping-algebra and thm-triangular-decomposition-from-a-chosen-positive-root-system. (The classical BGG category O)

Proof

1.1

Choose finitely many weight generators of M and let E be the sum of the full weight spaces at their distinct weights. Finite generation permits this choice and the support theorem makes E finite dimensional. Every central element commutes with h, hence preserves E.

2.1

Restriction gives an algebra homomorphism ZEndC(E). If z kills E, then z(ue)=u(ze)=0 for every uU(g), so z kills M. Its kernel is exactly AnnZ(M). The image algebra therefore embeds in a finite-dimensional endomorphism space. For M=0 the quotient is the zero algebra.

8 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.
