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 integrable quantum highest weight module exists and is unique
Statement
Let be a dominant integral label weight, put , and let be the quantum Verma module with highest vector (Quantum Verma modules , highest weight vectors, and the simple highest weight quotient , Kac moody integral and dominant integral weights).
(i) The quotient is nonzero, has finite-dimensional label weights and support contained in , is integrable, and equals the canonical simple highest weight module , which is simple also as an ordinary (not assumed graded) -module.
(ii) Universality. Every integrable cyclic highest weight module of highest weight with highest vector receives a -module map with , and this map is unique; every nonzero such is isomorphic to .
(iii) Its character equals the classical integrable highest weight character of the explicitly regularized realization of the datum. No global -freeness and no crystal or global basis is used.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The dominant integral weight , the Verma module and its highest vector, the quotient , and the integral form used by the deformation lemma.
The Serre quotient lemma: is nonzero with nonzero top class , has finite-dimensional label weights and support in , is integrable, and every integrable cyclic highest weight module of highest weight is a quotient of ; its proof does not use commutation of distinct adjacent-root divided powers (The dominant quantum Serre quotient is nonzero and integrable(i)-(iii)).
The local deformation lemma: every nonzero graded quotient of with nonzero highest line has the classical simple character, and consequently for the simple graded quotient of ; this uses the DVR and no global freeness (Local q=1 deformation proves integrable highest weight universality(a),(b)).
The Cartan projection lemma: the normalized homogeneous contravariant form on descends to with the largest proper graded submodule, and the maximum-height raising argument proves that has no proper nonzero ordinary submodule, i.e. it is simple as a -module without a grading hypothesis (Cartan projection constructs the Verma contravariant form and identifies its radical).
has the universal property that every highest weight module of weight with highest vector receives a unique map with , and the map is surjective when is cyclic; the top label space of a highest weight module is one-dimensional (Quantum Verma modules , highest weight vectors, and the simple highest weight quotient , Quantum weight modules, weights in , and integrability).
Verification
Construction, support and integrability. The quotient of the statement is the quotient constructed in [F1] (the sum of the vectors and their -translates is the displayed submodule); hence it is nonzero, has one-dimensional top label space with generator , has finite-dimensional label weights, support contained in , and is integrable. This proves the first part of (i).
Identification with the simple module and character. The simple graded quotient of is a nonzero graded quotient of with nonzero highest line: the image of generates it, and a nonzero highest vector of weight cannot lie in the kernel, since the kernel is a graded submodule not containing the top label space. By [F2] both and have the classical simple character, so the surjection is injective on every finite-dimensional label space, hence an isomorphism; and the character statement (iii) follow.
Ordinary simplicity. By [F3], has no proper nonzero ordinary submodule. Since , the same holds for ; this completes (i).
Universality. Let be an integrable cyclic highest weight module of highest weight with highest vector . By [F4] there is a unique -module map with , and it is surjective because generates . By F1 the integrability of forces this map to kill the defining submodule of : namely the kernel contains each , since the image must vanish (the minimal with equals by the rank-one string computation used in [F1]); hence the map factors through . This map is unique because it is determined on the cyclic vector, and it sends the class of to . If , then by step 1.3 the source is simple, so the surjection is an isomorphism: . This proves (ii).
