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.
Fermion-Shift Ward Contraction
Local algebraic contraction of the adopted two-derivative N=2 fermion shifts in one electric frame, under the source special-geometry locality and quaternionic equivariance hypotheses; it does not prove existence of a supergravity action or a global gauging.
Statement
In the source-normalized two-derivative electric-frame model, let , , and be its gaugino, hyperino, and gravitino shifts. Define Their algebraic contraction is For the admissible quaternionic geometry satisfying the equivariance relation in the Facts & Assumptions below, . Thus this contraction is a pure singlet. The physical scalar potential in the transformation normalization of the model is .

Given: The shifts and source normalizations of Four-Dimensional Matter-Coupled Supergravity, regular scalar data of Four-Dimensional Electric-Frame Scalar Data, , and a closed admissible electric gauging.
Supergravity Conventions And Normalizations fixes four-dimensional Lorentzian Einstein frame, , and the Einstein–Hilbert coefficient . This item uses the source convention .
Four-Dimensional Matter-Coupled Supergravity fixes the shift definitions, corrected gaugino-shift relative sign, and hyperino indices, and the common gauge coupling .
Four-Dimensional Electric-Frame Scalar Data fixes the special-Kähler , quaternionic , electric polarization, and convention. Its section retains both electric and magnetic components, while the gauging data used in this theorem have electric support.
Four-Dimensional Electric-Frame Scalar Data imposes the exact source special-Kähler mixed-shift identity, symplectic locality, gauge closure, quaternionic vielbein product, and equivariance condition . These are hypotheses on the gauging used below.
Proof
Expanding the two terms in from [F1], the product with its conjugate gives the singlet . Write for the ordinary row-first Pauli matrix in the source and for its mixed-index component matrix, so in [F3]. The source row-first identity is ; hence the two distinct ordered identities are and . To see the actual contraction order, put , and . Then the displayed shift is the matrix , and . Thus has a mixed term and a moment-map triplet . The latter coefficient is . Relabeling and then converts its triplet to . This explicit relabeling is why the moment-map term written in the source coefficient order uses . The singlet part is by the definition of . For the triplet part, the symmetric vector-coupling matrix in the identity of [F3] cancels after antisymmetrizing the moment-map indices; the canonical symplectic term vanishes by the electric locality constraint, and the remaining section term is . The mixed – terms reduce by the exact special-Kähler contraction identity in [F3] to . Collecting these coefficients yields The relative sign between the two terms in is the corrected sign in [F1], and is needed for these mixed terms.
By the typed vielbein identity and conjugate lower-hyperino frame in [F3], . The corrected shift in [F1] is , whose conjugate is ; the Killing vectors are real on the quaternionic target. Each hyperino shift has coefficient 2 by [F1], so the product with the Ward factor 2 gives an overall coefficient in each contraction: This gives the hyperino singlet and triplet terms without using field equations.
Multiplying the electric gravitino shift of [F1] by its conjugate gives the ordinary mixed-index order from step 1.1, with prefactor . Electric support of the gauging selects in this contraction; it does not set the magnetic section components to zero. This order therefore gives a negative singlet and a positive triplet: The factor follows from times the two shift coefficients and .
Adding the singlets in 1.1, 1.2, and 2.1 gives . Adding their triplets gives the displayed . By [F3], ; hence its triplet coefficient is . Thus , leaving the singlet Ward contraction.
