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.
Flat Dp Brane Half BPS Projection
Static flat Type II Dp boundary sector with zero worldvolume flux and no backreaction; conditionally counts the preserved constant target supersymmetries from the flat KSE and boundary-state gluing, without extending to curved, fluxed, or dynamical branes.
Statement
In a source-free flat Type II background, let be the two real 16-dimensional Majorana–Weyl supersymmetry spaces of the appropriate IIA/IIB chiralities. For a static flat Dp boundary state, the preserved constant supersymmetries are exactly the graph of the invertible map in Flat Dp Boundary State Supercharge Gluing. Hence they form a 16-dimensional real subspace of the 32-dimensional supersymmetry space. Equivalently, with the preserved parameters obey , and . This is the conditional half-BPS projection.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A source-free flat ten-dimensional Type II bosonic solution with constant dilaton and vanishing field strengths, a static flat Dp boundary condition, and the exact source gluing map and KSE interfaces.
Flat Dp Boundary State Supercharge Gluing: the unbroken boundary-state supersymmetries obey , where is invertible.
Dp Brane Open String Boundary Condition: a static flat Dp-brane has Neumann tangent and fixed Dirichlet normal endpoint data; Type IIA uses even and Type IIB odd .
Type Iia Supergravity Killing Spinor Equations: a local on-shell IIA spinor obeys the displayed gravitino and dilatino equations on a supplied spin patch. In the stated flat solution all flux and dilaton-gradient terms vanish, so the gravitino equation reduces to . Its current Step 1 record is ready for its declared dependencies.
Type IIB Supergravity Killing Spinor Equations: a local on-shell IIB doublet obeys the displayed equations in the stated spinor bundle. In the stated flat solution , , and , so and the gravitino equation reduces to . Its current Step 1 record is escalated because its upstream readiness inputs are missing, so use remains conditional.
Proof
On , define by the displayed block map. Since is invertible by [F1], both compositions are defined and . Thus it is an involution.
The fixed-point equation is equivalent to the two equations and ; either one implies the other. The map is therefore a linear bijection from to the fixed-point space.
By [A1] or [A2], according to Type IIA or IIB, the flat on-shell KSE reduce to ; in a Cartesian parallel frame these solutions are the constant elements of each chiral 16-real-dimensional space. The boundary-state condition [F1] retains exactly the graph counted in step 2.1, so the preserved space has real dimension , half of . This conclusion remains conditional on current KSE readiness and adopted boundary-state gluing; it asserts nothing about nonflat or fluxed backgrounds.
