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.
Exact square-lattice FK critical point and subcritical decay
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. For every real , put . For every , the wired state has ; for every , both free and wired states have zero percolation probability and the free and wired critical thresholds equal . For every , there are constants such that every cylinder-limit FK state on satisfies No equality of the free and wired measures at , critical exponent, or order of transition is asserted.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()), real , , the square-lattice free and wired cylinder-limit FK states, and the crossing/sharpness interface of Crossing sharpness and subcritical decay for square-lattice FK.
For , and have the definitions in Free, wired, and subsequential infinite-volume FK states on the square lattice.
Wired positivity above , zero free and wired percolation below , subcritical exponential decay for every cylinder-limit state, and free/wired threshold coincidence are proved in Crossing sharpness and subcritical decay for square-lattice FK.
Proof
Fix and write . By [F2], for every and for every . Therefore the infimum defining is : no parameter below belongs to the defining set, while every parameter above does.
The free/wired threshold-coincidence conclusion in [F2] gives . This is a statement about the two infima; it does not identify the measures or their percolation probabilities at .
For , [F2] directly supplies constants for which the displayed two-point bound holds uniformly for every arbitrary-boundary cylinder-limit FK state. These are exactly the cylinder-limit states in the statement, with the definition in [F1]. The stated choice hypothesis is the one used by the supplier to construct the probability laws and its countable subcritical coupling.
Remarks
The threshold and subcritical conclusions apply to all real . Countable Choice binds the actual infinite-volume probability-law and coupling construction; the underlying finite numerical threshold result has a separate choice-free local proof. No assertion at criticality is added.
