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.
Generalized central-character decomposition of O
Statement
Fix a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra , a Cartan subalgebra , and a positive Borel . Write , when , and .
The category is the categorical direct sum : objects have finite support in the index , morphisms between distinct components vanish, and the canonical component projections are exact.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The setting above and the hypotheses in the statement.
Fix a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra , a Cartan subalgebra , and a positive Borel . Write , when , and . Every decomposes canonically into finitely many nonzero generalized central-character submodules: For each summand there is a single such that . The decomposition of zero is empty. (Generalized central-character summands)
Proof
Use the finite intrinsic decomposition of each object. If is a module map, implies , so . Consequently all off-diagonal components of a map vanish, and maps between objects decompose uniquely into their same-character components.
For an exact sequence , the image and kernel equalities restrict to each character. In particular, to lift , lift it to and decompose . Preservation of characters and the direct decomposition of imply that maps to . This proves surjectivity and hence exactness of every projection.
The functor taking a finitely supported family to its direct sum and the functor are inverse up to the canonical isomorphisms. An empty family gives zero, and a single nonzero component is fixed by its projection.

Dependency tree · two levels
4 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.
