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.
SU(2) central-charge mass bound from Seiberg–Witten periods
Conditional representation-theoretic mass bound for an existing massive state in a selected pure-SU(2) N=2 Seiberg–Witten period patch; it asserts neither state existence nor stability, and does not construct the underlying continuum QFT.
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Use the four-dimensional rigid super-Poincare convention , , and . Let be a regular patch of the selected pure-SU(2) Seiberg--Witten period data. Fix and a formal charge label . Suppose the selected physical model has a nonzero unitary rest-fiber representation on a Hilbert space , with translation generators and for , where . Suppose its scalar central-charge matrix is , , and its supercharges and actual Hilbert adjoints have a common dense invariant product domain on which every product in the charge anticommutators is defined. Require its charge normalization to be
Then
If equality holds, then ; set , so and , and define and on . Both and vanish for every . Equality defines algebraic BPS saturation only; the statement asserts no state exists for any chosen charge label and no BPS state is stable.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice, the period data on , and the massive rest-fiber representation and common domain in the Statement.
Assume : every sequence of nonempty sets has a choice function. The Axiom of Countable Choice ()
Positive central-charge bounds on a massive rest representation fiber: under , in a massive rest-fiber representation with and common invariant product domain, ; for , gives , and equality implies the phase-selected null charge pair annihilates every domain vector.
Positive unitary super-Poincare representation with spectral-domain covariance: the inner product is positive, each is the actual Hilbert adjoint with its actual domain, and all displayed generator products are defined on a common dense invariant domain.
Pure SU(2) Coulomb-branch and period data: on a local regular patch, and are the electric and dual period coordinates, and the source-normalized charge-label pairing is .
Source-proposed pure SU(2) Seiberg–Witten low-energy data: the adopted model convention identifies the scalar algebraic central charge with ; the singularity and low-energy solution data are source-proposed model inputs.
Proof
Given: [F1] applies to the stated nonzero massive rest fiber with its common domain; [F3] and [A2] fix the period pairing and its central-charge normalization.
By [F3], the formal period pairing for the chosen label is . By [A2], the scalar central-charge entry is therefore .
For the antisymmetric matrix , direct multiplication gives , hence . Apply [F1] to obtain .
If equality holds, then . The saturation conclusion in [F1], with and , gives for every . The conclusion remains confined to this represented rest fiber: neither [F1] nor the period pairing asserts that the selected charge label occurs as a stable state.
Remarks
The source papers use the period mass normalization for BPS states; this item derives the inequality from the local mathematical positive-representation theorem and records the equality condition without taking BPS saturation as a premise. The formal lattice may contain labels absent from the stable spectrum.
