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.
A finite Q-exact torus integral with constant value
A dimensionless finite-dimensional graded integral used only as an illustration of the Ward identity; it is not identified with the S4 field configuration space and gives no continuum or empirical prediction.
Example
Let be the two-torus with dimensionless angular coordinates modulo ; denote the induced global angular one-forms. Orient by the volume form and define the graded integral .
The complex differential-form algebra is , where is the space of smooth functions periodic in both coordinates, , , , and for . The product is the exterior product, determined by and . The exterior derivative is the degree-one linear map defined by , , and for ; these formulas give the graded Leibniz rule and .
Let the odd derivation be , set the dimensionless action , choose the even insertion for , and choose the odd deformation . For every dimensionless real , the integral equals . This is a finite-dimensional regulator toy integral only; it is not a model of the S4 field configuration space or a continuum physical prediction.

Facts & Assumptions

Finite-Dimensional Q-Exact Deformation Invariance: if is an odd derivation, , , the Q-exact boundary integral vanishes, and the integrand and its derivative have the stated compact-parameter L1 majorants, then the finite-dimensional graded integral is constant in .
Verification
The coefficient product rule in the displayed coordinate formulas gives for and , for ; for , both sides of the graded-Leibniz identity have degree three and vanish because . Thus is an odd derivation. For , by equality of mixed partial derivatives, and on because . Hence has . The torus has no boundary, and for every smooth periodic one-form , by periodicity. Thus for each admissible odd form . Also and .
The top-degree coefficient of and its -derivative are smooth on compact and bounded uniformly when ranges over any compact interval; a constant bound is integrable on . Therefore all finite-dimensional hypotheses of [F1] hold.
Since , . Multiplying by gives top-degree part , whose integral is . This agrees with the constant value supplied by [F1].
