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.
Symbolic monopole vacuum in the local dual U(1) model
Symbolic local vacuum calculation for the source-motivated dual U(1) effective model near one monopole singularity with nonzero small N=1 perturbation; it asserts no flux-tube existence, confinement, or UV continuum theory.
Example
In the local dual model, let be holomorphic near , let , and choose a neighborhood small enough that throughout. Choose a nonzero small perturbation for which , using the supplied cutoff, margin, background-validity domain and application excitation bound of the local model. These are physical applicability inputs, not a microscopic error estimate. The supersymmetric vacuum equations have the gauge orbit represented by
At this representative , so the D equation vanishes. The dual is fully Higgsed and the canonical dual vector mass is . This is a symbolic local effective-model calculation. The example does not assert existence of a finite-energy vortex or linear confinement; the zero-perturbation case is outside its scope.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The local dual-Higgs fields, charge assignments, superpotential, D map, kinetic normalization, and cutoff regime in the Example.
Local dual U(1) monopole-Higgs effective data: , , the F/D potential is a sum of squares, and the charged hypermultiplet kinetic terms are canonical while has kinetic coefficient , and the gauge kinetic term fixes the dual vector mass normalization.
Classical and quantum supersymmetric vacuum-moduli data supplies the convention of taking compact-group orbits of simultaneous F/D zeros. Its global polynomial-superpotential model is not assumed to include this local holomorphic model; the latter's potential and vacuum equations are supplied directly by [F1].
Assume , , throughout the selected neighborhood, and the induced scale obeys with the supplied local-model applicability inputs.
Verification
Given: [A1], the local F/D data [F1], and the vacuum definition [F2].
Differentiating gives , , and . The neutral kinetic term in [F1] is , so set . By the chain rule its canonical auxiliary field is . Since , the canonical and connection-normalized neutral F equations have the same zero set. Directly from [F1], the potential is ; positivity makes its zero locus exactly these four simultaneous zeros. This argument uses only local holomorphy of , without applying the global polynomial hypothesis of [F2]. The zero locus is invariant under the stated compact action, and we use its orbit convention. At , the first equation is , while the other two vanish.
Set and , with . Then and , so all F equations and hold.
Any solution in this patch with would have by the last two F equations, contradicting in the first. Thus ; the first F equation fixes the nonzero product and the D equation fixes equal magnitudes. The U(1) phase can then make and fixes as in the Example, so the solution is one gauge orbit.
Expanding the canonical kinetic terms around and , and canonically normalizing , gives . This verifies the local Higgs mass only; it supplies no vortex solution.
