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.
Kähler-metric F-term scalar potential in the rigid model
Conditional classical elimination of the chiral auxiliary fields in the bosonic zero-derivative sector of the adopted rigid N=1 Kähler sigma-model action on flat Minkowski spacetime. The result excludes gauge D-terms, supergravity, quantum corrections, and empirical claims.
Statement
Use the rigid Kähler sigma-model action with scalar coordinates , smooth real Kähler potential , positive-definite Hermitian metric , holomorphic superpotential , and complex algebraic auxiliary fields . Use the ordinary complex bosonic sector of that postulate: all positive-degree coefficient-algebra components and fermions are set to zero, and the full formal even auxiliary coefficient is restricted to the complex field . This restriction is for the potential calculation and does not assert supersymmetry closure on the restricted slice. With spacetime derivatives set to zero, write and . The auxiliary Lagrangian is
Let be the inverse Hermitian matrix. The algebraic field equation is , and eliminating gives the nonnegative scalar-potential contribution
For the canonical Kähler potential , this becomes . The simple sum is specific to that metric; for a noncanonical Kähler metric the inverse matrix in the displayed formula is required. This statement concerns the classical F-term sector only and does not include gauge D-terms or quantum corrections.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: A point in the Kähler coordinate patch of the adopted model and its bosonic zero-derivative auxiliary fields.
Rigid four-dimensional Wess–Zumino sigma-model action: in its ordinary complex bosonic sector, is positive-definite Hermitian and the zero-derivative auxiliary Lagrangian, obtained with , and , is , with no derivatives of .
Proof
Given: [A1], with and evaluated at the same scalar value .
Since occurs algebraically and without derivatives, its Euler–Lagrange equation is the ordinary partial derivative of with respect to the independent conjugate coordinate . Differentiating [A1] gives .
Expand the Hermitian square . The two cross terms are and because and ; the final term is . Therefore equals this square minus .
Positive definiteness makes invertible. Multiply the equation in step 1.1 by and use to obtain .
Substitute the solution from step 2.1: the square in step 1.2 vanishes, so the on-shell auxiliary Lagrangian is . To verify the sign directly, set . Hermitian symmetry and the inverse identities give , which is positive when and zero when . Thus the contraction is nonnegative; for it is . This is the classical scalar potential in the stated complex F-term sector; no order or positivity statement is made for general nilpotent coefficient-algebra values.
