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.
GHZ transfer has persistent connected correlations
Example
Assume Countable Choice. Use the standard inner product on and its ordered basis . For , let have entry in row , column , and entry elsewhere, with rows and columns ordered . For each integer , index the factors cyclically modulo and let and . The periodic trace contraction has amplitude on basis vector and equals ; after normalization it is the GHZ vector . The transfer map fixes and and annihilates and . With and , the associated infinite transfer state has and for every integer gap , where acts on one site. Thus its connected correlation is exactly at every gap and does not decay.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, the two matrices , a ring length , the one-site observable , and the positive matrices , .
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): every sequence of nonempty sets has a choice function, as assumed by the infinite transfer-state construction.
Finite open MPS and injective translation invariant tensor: the tensor matrices have finite dimension and their transfer map is .
Transfer-generated infinite-chain state and correlations: the state is defined by , and insertions on separated blocks compose with for a gap of identity sites.
Verification
Each is the diagonal projection . A product is zero if the word contains both and , and is or for the two constant words. Its trace is therefore one exactly for those two words and zero otherwise, proving the unnormalized periodic vector formula. The two basis vectors and are orthonormal, so its squared norm is and the stated normalization follows.
On the basis defined in the Statement, , , and . Thus the fixed subspace is exactly and has dimension two. Also , , and , so [F2] applies under [A1]. The insertion for is , whence , , and . Therefore and for every . Subtracting the product of the one-point expectations gives connected correlation .
