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.
Conditional Dimension of the SU(2) Quadratic Chiral Primary
Conditional scaling-dimension calculation for a nonzero scalar chiral primary in a unitary realization of the selected four-dimensional N=4 SU(2) model. No continuum SCFT construction or general protection-under-deformation theorem is asserted.
Example
Use the selected SU(2) field data and natural units . Let be the complex scalar component of the first canonical adjoint chiral superfield; its engineering mass dimension is one and its selected charge is . Suppose a proposed unitary SCFT realization supplies a nonzero scalar superconformal primary state associated with the renormalized composite in a prescription that preserves the exact selected symmetry, and suppose the selected chiral-branch supercharge from the SCFT data satisfies . Then has charge and scaling dimension exactly . This is conditional shortening data for this specified operator state; it does not assert that the classical action constructs a continuum SCFT or that every scalar observable is protected.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The selected classical SU(2) field data, a proposed unitary SCFT realization supplying the named primary state, a renormalization prescription preserving its exact selected U(1)_R symmetry, annihilation by the selected positive-branch supercharge, and the local scalar-primary unitarity theorem.
Four-dimensional SU(2) super-Yang-Mills model: the chosen global group is SU(2), the chiral superfields are adjoint-valued, and the canonical fields are obtained from the connection-normalized fields by division by .
Four-Dimensional SCFT and Protected Observable Data: the selected assigns charge to each adjoint chiral superfield.
Scalar Chiral-Primary Unitarity Bound: if a scalar superconformal primary has and is annihilated by the selected chiral-branch supercharge , then its scaling dimension is .
In the assumed quantum realization, in the chosen renormalization prescription corresponds to a nonzero scalar superconformal primary state and for the selected chiral-branch supercharge; the prescription preserves the exact selected symmetry. This is a hypothesis of the example, not a consequence of the classical postulate.
Verification
For a gauge transformation , . For finite matrices, , so . Under an rotation by , , hence and the linear trace has charge .
By step 1.1, the state has . The positive-branch hypothesis in [F3] therefore applies to the nonzero primary in [A1], giving . This is a conditional representation-theoretic deduction; the engineering dimension of the classical composite is not being used as a substitute for the scaling-dimension proof.
