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.
Vectorlike charges cancel cubic and linear sums
Example
Let be the one-dimensional Abelian real Lie algebra and take . For , define complex-linear representations by for , and attach the left-handed bookkeeping label to both. This opposite-charge pair is called vectorlike at the representation-data level here. It does not construct spinor fields or a charge-conjugation map; an interpretation as a field pair requires a separately specified field model and convention. The coefficient sums satisfy and . With the no-half anticommutator convention , the cubic coefficient is , and the separate linear representation coefficient is . This verifies cancellation of these two algebraic coefficients in that interface only; it does not identify them with a regulated anomaly, prove an all-orders theorem, or establish a nonperturbative gauge theory or cancellation of global anomalies.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The two one-dimensional representations of and their left-handed bookkeeping labels from the Example.
The representation matrices for are the scalars and , and both species are included once in the finite coefficient sum.
Four-dimensional chiral anomaly coefficient interface: with , ; the separate linear representation coefficient is . These coefficient definitions do not construct a field model or assert an anomaly/descent identification.
Verification
Given: [A1] and [F1].
In one dimension the trace of a scalar is that scalar, and , . Therefore the two contributions to the cubic coefficient sum to .
The linear representation coefficient is . Thus both the cubic coefficient and the separately defined linear coefficient vanish by direct arithmetic. This calculation asserts no descent identification, loop theorem, global-anomaly conclusion, or nonperturbative existence claim.
