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.
Holonomy and discrete geometric interfaces — antisymmetric invariant tensor at a bivalent SU(2) vertex
Statement
Assume the full Axiom of Choice. Take the graph with three distinct vertices , edges , and their reverses , and no other edges. Order the edges as and fix any vertex order. Assign the defining representation on , with its standard inner product, to ; assign the trivial representation on to each reverse edge. Thus for every and ; the Haar projection's hypotheses impose no relation between representations assigned to reverse orientations.
The full vertex space is . Write and identify with by the linear isomorphism . For any basis of , the nonzero tensor
is invariant under . Consequently the normalized Haar projection fixes ; equivalently, .

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Full AC, the specified four oriented edges and their representations, the vertex space , the map , and a basis of .
Finite graph vertex Haar averaging is an orthogonal projection: under full AC, the normalized Haar average projects onto vertex-invariant tensors.
Finite SU(2) graph holonomy model: the graph includes both edge orientations, and a finite-dimensional unitary representation is a strongly continuous group homomorphism into the unitary operators. The complete vertex factor formula is supplied by [F1].
The Axiom of Choice: full AC is the set-theoretic assumption inherited by the averaging supplier.
Proof
The defining action is a group homomorphism, preserves the standard inner product because , and is strongly continuous because its matrix entries are continuous. The trivial reverse-edge actions have these properties as well. By [F1], their dual factors at are trivial one-dimensional spaces, so the displayed and are well-defined and . For , write the matrix of in the chosen basis as ; its determinant is . Expanding the tensor product gives . The tensor is nonzero because and are distinct basis tensors.
By [F1], . Step 1.1 makes the integrand the constant vector , and the normalized Haar probability has total mass one; hence the integral equals . Applying gives the equivalent asserted formula.
Remarks
The diagram records the full vertex action under the specified trivial reverse-edge factors; the determinant computation proves invariance independently of the diagram.
