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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: A real number and the polynomial core and modes of the charged Heisenberg Fock space.
Charged rank-one Heisenberg Fock space fixes , , , the normal-order convention, and the monomial inner product.
Virasoro algebra in the convention uses the bracket .
Proof
Given: .
Multiplication and differentiation give for , while all two multiplication operators commute, all two derivative operators commute, and commutes with every mode. Therefore for all integers .
For fixed and a fixed polynomial, terms in with a sufficiently large positive index kill that polynomial; terms with two negative indices have and hence occur only finitely many times. Thus is well defined on .
In the commutator , the identity leaves only the summands whose one index is . Their equal contributions and the prefactor give .
Set . The Jacobi identity and step 3.1 show for every . An operator on commuting with every multiplication and every derivative is scalar: its value on is killed by each derivative, so is constant, and commutation with multiplication determines its value on every monomial. Hence each is scalar. Since has oscillator degree , this scalar is zero unless .
For , normal ordering gives , , and . Using step 3.1, . Subtracting leaves . Antisymmetry gives the same polynomial for negative , and gives zero. This proves the Virasoro bracket with central charge in [F2]'s convention.
Direct evaluation of the normally ordered sums for gives the two displayed formulas. For monomials, the inner product in [F1] gives and for every . Since each normally ordered sum acts finitely on a polynomial, termwise adjunction gives for . These are algebraic-core identities for the quadratic modes. The weight formula follows by applying the Euler operator in to each monomial.
Let be the normalized monomial basis in the Statement. On this orthonormal basis, the polynomial restrictions act by the displayed weighted shifts. If a sequence and its weighted-shift images converge in , coordinatewise convergence gives the same shift formulas for the limits, so the maximal weighted shifts are closed. Truncation to finitely many basis vectors converges in each graph norm, hence these are the closures of the polynomial restrictions. For , the adjoint coefficient identity against each forces to have the coefficients of . Because finite-support vectors are graph-dense, this identity extends to the full domain exactly when the forced coefficient sequence is square-summable, which is equivalent to . Reversing the roles gives . The zero mode is the bounded self-adjoint scalar because .
Remarks
The charge is real in this lemma because the stated positive inner product makes self-adjoint. The algebraic formulas also define representations for complex , but that larger family is not asserted to be unitary.
