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.
Four-Dimensional F- and D-Term Scalar Potential
Conditional algebraic elimination of the old-minimal chiral, gravity, and vector auxiliary fields in the adopted two-derivative four-dimensional N=1 Einstein-frame model, with no extra auxiliary-independent scalar-potential term; no higher-derivative or nonstandard auxiliary sectors.
Statement
For the two-derivative framework with positive Kähler metric , invertible positive gauge matrix , and algebraically eliminated chiral auxiliary fields, the old-minimal gravity auxiliary field, and vector auxiliary fields, assume the zero-derivative scalar-potential term is generated only by this auxiliary sector, with no additional auxiliary-independent term. The Einstein-frame scalar potential is Here , and is the real moment map in the declared gauging normalization. A constant Fayet–Iliopoulos (FI) contribution is permitted only when the Kähler-line-bundle lift gauges the appropriate -symmetry. The result is conditional on the old-minimal off-shell matter content and does not include higher-derivative terms, nonstandard auxiliary sectors, or an unqualified FI term.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The raw auxiliary Lagrangian and field conventions of Four-Dimensional Matter-Coupled Supergravity, , positive , positive symmetric , and real .
The zero-derivative scalar-potential term in this theorem is generated only by the displayed auxiliary sector; no independent is added.
Supergravity Conventions And Normalizations fixes four-dimensional Lorentzian Einstein frame, , and the Einstein–Hilbert coefficient . The stated dimensionful convention is retained.
Four-Dimensional Matter-Coupled Supergravity adopts the old-minimal auxiliary density and the off-shell signs and normalizations displayed in its Statement.
Four-Dimensional Kähler–Hodge Line Data gives and the Kähler-line-bundle transition convention. Its covariance makes the displayed F-term patch-independent.
Proof
Write , , and for the inverse Kähler metric. Expanding the square gives Therefore the chiral auxiliary part of [F1] is this nonnegative square minus . Positivity of makes the algebraic equation solvable and the square vanishes at its unique stationary value.
Completing the real vector square gives Because is positive definite, its inverse exists and the unique algebraic solution removes the square. Thus this sector contributes to .
Put and . Then Since , eliminating contributes to , equivalently to when the potential enters the Lagrangian as .
At the stationary auxiliary values the three squares vanish. By [A2], the remaining auxiliary Lagrangian is the entire zero-derivative scalar Lagrangian: . Rearranging yields the stated potential. By [F2], transforms as the section , so the two F-term contributions have cancelling Kähler weights; the D-term is invariant under the assumed compatible gauging. The FI qualification is part of [F1]'s admitted moment-map data, not an extra free constant.

The convention input is Supergravity Conventions And Normalizations at the exact four-dimensional Einstein-frame and Planck normalization used above. The result remains conditional on its adopted supergravity framework.
