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
The data in Rank-one Heisenberg oscillator fields and vacuum space define a vertex algebra with the displayed normal-monomial state fields. With it is a conformal vertex algebra of CFT type in the convention of Conformal vertex algebra of CFT type, with central charge . Its conformal modes are

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The explicitly based polynomial vacuum space, oscillator operators, translation, candidate fields and conformal vector.
Rank-one Heisenberg oscillator fields and vacuum space gives all oscillator and normal-order formulas and the weighted polynomial grading.
Mutually local creative generators determine a state–field map constructs a unique vertex algebra from local creative translation-covariant fields whose negative modes span; its construction transports all field residue products to their vacuum states.
Formal distributions and fields on a vector space fixes the two binomial expansions and the residue definition of field products.
Conformal vertex algebra of CFT type requires Virasoro modes, , finite nonnegative integer weight spaces and one-dimensional weight zero; Vertex algebra in the state–field convention fixes the vertex-algebra convention.
Proof
On every polynomial, differentiation and multiplication give . All sufficiently large positive modes kill that polynomial. Thus is a field, and its commutator is , obtained by summing . Multiplying this distribution by gives zero (differentiate ), so the generator is local with itself. Directly and . Also , since . The negative modes are the multiplication operators , whose monomials span . All hypotheses of [F2] hold.
The reconstruction has precisely the stated normal fields. Indeed the two binomial expansions in [F3], with index , give : taking the residue separates the modes , with coefficient , from the modes , with coefficient . These are the divided derivatives of the negative and nonnegative parts of . By [F2]'s vacuum-state transport, the state of that product is if . Induction on the number of factors gives the displayed monomial formula. The same-sign modes commute, so nesting these normal products introduces no extra contractions. This proves the candidate state fields coincide with the reconstructed ones.
Since , its coefficient is the quadratic sum stated. For a fixed and polynomial, only finitely many terms survive: modes of large positive index kill the polynomial after normal ordering, and the sum of two negative indices is fixed. The oscillator commutator gives by the two terms and in that sum. Directly the sums at give and , since .
Let . Step 3.1 and the operator commutator identity show that commutes with every . Any operator commuting with all multiplication operators and all positive derivatives is scalar: its value on is killed by every partial derivative and hence is constant, and commuting with multiplication determines its value on every monomial. Each has degree , so this scalar is zero unless . For , and . Applying with step 3.1 gives . Antisymmetry covers negative , and is zero. Thus .
The explicit Euler operator in step 3.1 has weight on . For fixed , only can occur, with , so its monomial basis is finite. There are no negative degrees, and degree zero consists of constants. Along with and the Virasoro relations of step 4.1, these verify every requirement in [F4]. No choice principle or analytic completion is used.
