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.
The rank-one De Concini–Kac to Lusztig specialization map is not injective
Statement
Let be odd and a primitive -th root of unity. The generator assignment is a well-defined algebra homomorphism, but it is not injective: it kills , which is nonzero in its source.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The rank-one forms of De Concini–Kac, Lusztig, and small quantum-group forms at roots of unity, the divided-power integral form The Lusztig divided-power integral form , and a primitive odd root of order .
The rank-one De Concini–Kac source is generated by with , , and (The Drinfeld-Jimbo quantized enveloping algebra by generators and relations, De Concini–Kac, Lusztig, and small quantum-group forms at roots of unity). An assignment satisfying these three-generator relations extends to a homomorphism from the presented rank-one source.
In the Lusztig integral form, before specialization; the toral product defining specializes by substituting (Divided-power multiplication, toral binomials and the reordering identity, The Lusztig divided-power integral form ).
is nonzero in the source by the rank-one PBW basis, and the divided power is an element of the Lusztig form (The rank-one root-power quotient is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra, The Lusztig divided-power integral form ).
in the generic divided-power algebra, by the definition (The Lusztig divided-power integral form , Quantum integers, factorials, Gaussian binomials and divided powers at ).
Proof
The denominator is nonzero because . The images of in satisfy the two toral conjugation relations by specialization of the generic defining relations. By [F2], their commutator is the specialization of , which equals . Hence they satisfy all rank-one De Concini–Kac defining relations, and the presentation's universal property gives the stated homomorphism.
By [F4], the image of is . Since , the product is zero, so .
By [F3], is nonzero in the source. Thus has a nonzero kernel and is not injective.
