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: The simple factors, invariant forms, embedding and indices, levels, and common restricted module in the Statement.
The affine actions of distinct factors commute, and each component preserves brackets.
Sugawara modes and their normal ordering: with , , where the split is versus and each sum is locally finite on restricted modules.
Restricted affine-current module: on a restricted affine-current module, for every vector and fixed current, all sufficiently large positive modes annihilate that vector.
Dual Coxeter number for the normalized invariant form: , where the adjoint Casimir for the normalized form acts by .
Sugawara modes act on affine currents with weight one: on every restricted module at noncritical level, .
Sugawara modes satisfy Virasoro at every noncritical complex level: on every restricted affine-current module at noncritical level, the Sugawara modes satisfy the Virasoro relation with .
Proof
For , the induced current bracket is the sum of the brackets in each simple factor. Since each preserves brackets and distinct factors commute, . Thus the induced level is .
Apply [F6] to every action and to the restricted action, using the noncritical assumptions and the normalization [F4]. This gives each factor and denominator their Sugawara Virasoro brackets and central charges and .
By [A1], modes from distinct numerator factors commute. Adding their Virasoro brackets from step 1.2 shows that is Virasoro with .
Applying [F5] to each numerator action and to the induced restricted denominator action gives and . The other-factor commutators vanish by [A1], so summing the component identities gives the numerator formula; the denominator identity uses its level from step 1.1.
Subtract the two current-action identities from step 2.2. For every and , this gives .
Put , let be a -orthonormal basis, and write for and for . The product rule and the current action in step 2.2 give This identity is valid on each vector: the original sums stabilize by [F1], and restrictedness [F2] kills both tails after the commutator expansion.
Set , reindex the first sum by , and combine terms with the same normal order . Their coefficient is , giving . The only order correction is , where . This sum is finite because is supported between and .
By step 1.1 and orthonormality, , since . For , . For , substituting gives ; for the sum is zero.
Substituting step 5.1 into step 4.1 and dividing by yields , using the value of from step 1.2. Antisymmetry gives the same mixed bracket for .
Step 6.1 is exactly the Virasoro bracket of from step 1.2, so subtraction gives for all .
Expand . The two mixed brackets from step 6.1 subtract twice the bracket, while the separate Virasoro bracket from step 1.2 adds it once. The result is , which is the claimed Virasoro relation and central charge.
Remarks
This is a conditional algebraic statement. Its application requires the exact restricted-module and noncritical-level hypotheses above; it proves no existence, positivity, full left–right pairing, modular invariance, or physical realization.
