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.
The compact-boson lattice is even, unimodular, and mutually local
Statement
For every , the charge lattice with bilinear form is even, integral, and self-dual. The cocycle is associative. For finite-energy polynomial input and output vectors, the vertex-field matrix coefficients converge absolutely and locally uniformly on nested radial domains; their radial OPEs are associative, and the two radial orders agree by analytic continuation exchanging insertions away from the diagonal (bosonic radial locality). The target-radius duality
preserves the left-moving charge and reverses the right-moving charge; after the phase it preserves the local OPE coefficients.

Proof
Given: .
For and , expansion of the two squares gives . In the basis , , the Gram matrix is . Thus every pairing is integral and . If pairs integrally with both basis vectors, then and ; hence . This proves self-duality. For the oscillator calculation, the unbarred modes satisfy the relation in [F2]. Realize the independent right-moving copy on by , for , and . The same multiplication-differentiation calculation gives ; on , the unbarred and barred modes act on separate factors, so .
Bilinearity of the exponent gives . Therefore the charge-shift products are associative.
For with , the unbarred and barred oscillator commutators from [F1] and [F2] give . The scalar series is normally convergent on every compact subset of , since converges uniformly when . For fixed polynomial input, each annihilation exponential has finite differential action; pairing against a fixed polynomial output selects only finitely many creation coefficients. Hence every finite-energy matrix coefficient of an ordered product is a finite combination of derivatives of these normally convergent contraction factors and polynomial powers. It is absolutely and locally uniformly convergent on compact nested radial domains. Moving the zero-mode factors through the charge shifts supplies and its barred analogue, so the leading factor is on the branches in [F1]. The remaining normal-ordered exponential is the field of charge and its descendants.
Exchanging two insertions by a half-turn multiplies the left/right branch factors by . The cocycle ratio is , and , so the cocycle and branch factors multiply to . Thus the finite-energy radial matrix coefficients agree after analytic continuation exchanging the insertions away from the diagonal. The field spin is . The two-cocycle identity in step 2.1 and the normally convergent contraction factors in step 3.1 make finite iterated radial OPEs independent of bracketing on nested radial domains.
With and , and . The phase satisfies . Consequently together with sign reversal of every right-moving oscillator preserves the OPE, the vacuum, and both conformal weights. It is bijective because is an involution of .
