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.

Real root spaces are one dimensional sl2 roots

Statement

Every real root α has a one-dimensional root space and an sl2 triple (eα,hα,fα) in degrees α,0,α. The only roots on Cα are ±α. The coroot hα is independent of the transporting Weyl word and simple root when normalized by α(hα)=2.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A real root alpha=w alpha_i and the proved root-transporting automorphisms.

[F1]

Real roots are the Weyl orbits of the simple roots. (Real and imaginary kac moody roots).

[F2]

Simple reflections lift to Lie automorphisms and preserve multiplicities. (The weyl group preserves roots and root multiplicities).

[F3]

Simple root spaces and their multiples are known. (Kac moody root spaces are finite dimensional).

Proof

1.1

Choose a finite word for w and multiply the automorphisms of F2 to get T. Applying T to [ei,fi]=hi, [hi,ei]=2ei, and [hi,fi]=2fi gives a triple eα=Tei, hα=Thi, fα=Tfi with those same brackets. Each vector is nonzero; they lie in three distinct weight spaces α,0,α, hence are independent. Mapping the standard three matrix generators of sl2 to them is a bracket-preserving linear bijection.

2.1

F2 and F3 give gα=Tgαi=Ceα and the analogous negative equality. If cα were another root, T1 would send its nonzero space to degree cαi, so F3 forces c=1 or c=1. The bracket line [gα,gα] is therefore the nonzero line Chα, independent of T. Evaluation by α is nonzero on this line since α(hα)=2 from step 1.1. There is exactly one element of this line with that evaluation, proving independence of the normalized coroot.
