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 simple ordinary module admits a nonnegative grading
Statement
Let be a conformal vertex algebra of CFT type and let be a nonzero simple ordinary -module. Then admits a grading satisfying the admissible mode-shift rule; hence is an admissible module.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: is a conformal vertex algebra of CFT type and is a nonzero simple ordinary -module.
Conformal vertex algebra of CFT type: and for .
Module for an ordinary vertex algebra: the module Jacobi identity supplies the conformal mode commutator, and a simple module is nonzero with no proper nonzero submodule; hence any nonzero vector generates .
Ordinary module: is a direct sum of finite-dimensional -eigenspaces whose occurring weights have real parts bounded below.
Admissible module for a vertex operator algebra: an admissible grading must satisfy for , with negative grades interpreted as zero.
Proof
For homogeneous , the module Jacobi identity gives . Indeed, the commutator formula at the conformal mode has only the terms ; these equal because . Thus each mode shifts an -eigenvalue by the integer .
Choose a nonzero eigenvector . By [F2], the submodule it generates is all of ; each homogeneous mode shifts the eigenvalue by an integer by step 1.1. Thus every occurring eigenvalue lies in . By [F3], the integer indices of nonzero eigenspaces are bounded below; choose their least value and set for . The ordinary eigenspace decomposition makes .
For , step 1.1 gives ; if the index is negative, minimality of makes that eigenspace zero. This is exactly [F4], so the constructed grading is admissible.
Proof status
This is a local mode-shift proof. It establishes that each simple ordinary summand is admissible; it does not show that a weak-module decomposition supplied by regularity respects a separately specified admissible grading.
