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.
Dual-fusion Hom and conformal-block identification
Statement
Let be a conformal vertex algebra of CFT type. Let be pointed compact worldsheets with respectively ordered incoming marks and the same number of ordered outgoing marks. Let be admitted grading-restricted generalized joint - and -modules at their incoming marks, and suppose their dual fusion products and exist as generalized joint -modules. All joint spaces and coordinatewise lower bounds use the earlier conformal-block definition, and all Hom maps below commute with every one of the component actions. With the module ordering on this page and the restricted contragredient convention from its Definition, there is a natural linear isomorphism
It is the composition of the representing isomorphism for with contragredient transposition and the double-contragredient identification. No semisimplicity or rationality assumption is used.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The fixed pointed worldsheets and module ordering in the Statement; write and . Existence of these two objects is a hypothesis here.
VOA conformal block and dual fusion product gives, for any module Z, the natural representing bijection , . No existence theorem or analytic-family assertion is needed after B is given.
Contragredient construction preserves generalized VOA modules gives the restricted contragredients in the joint convention, with each joint block finite dimensional.
Double contragredient of a grading-restricted generalized module gives the natural evaluation module isomorphisms and .
Proof
Since A' is a module by F2, F1 applies with . It identifies each block with a unique module map , characterized by . The incoming factor X remains first; no tensor permutation or braiding is introduced.
A module map f commutes with every component , so it preserves joint generalized weights. Its restricted transpose is therefore well-defined. For any component state u and formal variable z, pairing with gives . The middle equality follows from f commuting with every original mode and therefore with its finite opposite-state combinations. The separating pairing proves that f' is a module map. Consequently is a module map by F3.
This correspondence is exactly the transpose-pairing identity . Conversely, for any module map , the same transposition argument gives the module map and that identity. It determines f and g uniquely: restricted functionals separate each finite joint block, and both maps preserve those blocks. Thus the two constructions are inverse linear bijections. Composing this bijection with step 1.1 gives precisely the isomorphism in the Statement, without finite-dimensionality of either entire module or either Hom space.
Naturality follows from the same two explicit identities. The representing equality in step 1.1 is natural by F1. The transpose-pairing identity commutes with precomposition and postcomposition by module maps: moving such a map across its evaluation pairing replaces it by its restricted transpose, by definition. F3 ensures that the evaluation identifications used in this movement are natural. Hence the composed linear bijection is natural in the module data and respects the specified incoming/outgoing ordering. No semisimplicity or rationality is used.
Local proof scope
This is an algebraic fixed-worldsheet identification assuming the two dual fusion objects exist, as in the Statement. It does not prove their existence, analytic sewing, finite-dimensionality of the Hom space, finite local freeness or holomorphic base-change compatibility in families. Those remain separate supplier obligations.
