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.
Conditional zero-FI regular ADHM and framed ASD correspondence
Statement

The stable complex quotient uses the same formula with .
Give the unit round metric and positive stereographic orientation , where , . A framed ASD object is a smooth Hermitian rank- bundle with smooth unitary connection , unitary framing at infinity, , and
modulo unitary bundle isomorphisms preserving the connection and framing; let be the set of these classes.
Let act on raw data by
where , and on framed ASD classes by inverse pullback under the rotations of and postcomposition of the framing by . Assume the following exact conditional supplier conclusions: the zero real quotient is identified diffeomorphically with the stable-and-costable complex quotient, and for every the real level quotient with is identified with the stable complex quotient; the stable complex quotient is identified with framed rank- torsion-free sheaves on with a trivialization , with Hilbert polynomial , and costability is equivalent to local freeness; the framed Ward construction gives a bijection between the specified framed ASD classes and holomorphic rank- bundles on , with for the fixed quaternionic structure , that are trivial on every real line, have for with the dual tautological line, and carry a nondegenerate holomorphic pairing satisfying whose induced form is and is positive definite on every real-line section space, together with a unitary framing at infinity; and the positive-real linear-monad normal form and its inverse identify each such Ward bundle with a monad whose zero-moment raw data are regular, modulo . These suppliers retain their stated projective GAGA, family base-change, orientation, charge-normalization, and compact-torus hypotheses.
Under these hypotheses, the construction gives a -equivariant bijection
For any positive stability level , the positive-FI quotient is the quotient by of , stable data and can contain non-locally-free framed sheaves; for such a point occurs already at by taking , , , and any nonzero with . This boundary is not identified with ordinary framed ASD moduli. The first-order assertion is restricted as follows. Let with . The raw modules are free of ranks , their moment equations hold over , and their reduction is regular. The monad terms are free of ranks , its end maps are locally split, its middle cohomology is locally free and commutes with reduction, its global section module is free and commutes with reduction, its coefficient-image submodule is a direct summand and commutes with reduction, and every fixed real-line restriction is trivial with its section module commuting with reduction. The framing and pairing are defined over , positivity is required on the reduction, and allowed base maps are reduction and for . The framed-sheaf family clause additionally requires its three relative cohomology bundles to have ranks , , and and every stated fiber base-change map to be an isomorphism. Within this range the correspondence is compatible with first-order framed deformations and identifies their tangent spaces.

Given: , , the exact raw ADHM and framed ASD conventions, and the conditional GAGA, family, Ward and real-monad hypotheses stated below.
The current real/complex quotient carrier proves that every regular complex orbit meets in exactly one orbit; it also proves the converse zero-level stability implies costability, smooth quotient charts and equivariance for the exact raw torus convention. Its full finite-dimensional proof is supplied there. Real and complex ADHM quotients at positive and regular zero FI
The current framed monad carrier identifies stable complex ADHM data with framed torsion-free sheaves of rank and Hilbert polynomial , and identifies costability with local freeness; its family and tangent clause requires the stated relative base-change maps. Its analytic dictionary uses the exact GAGA comparison in [A3]. Framed P² monads and stable ADHM data
The current GAGA carrier asserts exact coherent analytification on and , plus family comparison only when the higher direct images are locally free and the base-change maps are already isomorphisms. Its exact analytic inputs are the new coherence, local-flatness, compact-finiteness and scalar-projective-cohomology suppliers; its internal hyperplane and Serre-pencil proof derives all-twist comparison, positive-twist vanishing and generation. Projective GAGA for framed coherent and monad data
Under full AC and its exact absolute GAGA hypothesis, the ordinary framed Ward theorem uses the separately proved local integrable-Dolbeault frame lemma and proves universal-line degree-zero base change/evaluation, the unique incidence connection and compatibility of the pairing-induced positive metric. Its comparison input is absolute projective GAGA, not independently chosen parallel metrics or assumed base-change surjectivity.

The intrinsic positive-real monad normal-form existence, inverse matrix extraction, uniqueness, exact rotation factors and first-order naturality are supplied by the exact intrinsic theorem used in Real monad normalization, regularity, framing and charge. The entrywise-conjugation candidate is disproved in Entrywise conjugation does not match the raw ADHM real moment map. The exact first-order range additionally requires free with reduction base change, a direct-summand coefficient-image module with reduction base change, and triviality and section base change on each fixed real twistor line; positivity is required only on the reduction. These hypotheses are imposed and are not inferred for arbitrary ASD deformations or flat-summand rank jumps. Only this range and involution-preserving epsilon-to-r-epsilon maps are used.
The intrinsic positive-real monad theorem gives the converse from regular zero-moment data to the globally locally split monad with positive real-line pairing and infinity frame, and classifies normalized framed chain isomorphisms by . The chain-lift lemma lifts cohomology morphisms uniquely under the scalar negative-twist vanishings. The normal-form theorem's first-order clause gives the analogous normalized classification by only in the exact range stated here.

An integrable smooth Dolbeault operator on an ordinary complex vector bundle has local holomorphic frames, and intertwining maps are holomorphic. The universal line family is the proper flat projective-line bundle with graph incidence used in the section-bundle lemma. Proper coherent base-flat families have the degree-one/degree-zero base-change criteria, finite local cohomology modules and a finite projective cohomology complex; Nakayama kills a finite stalk with zero residue fibre. On a projective line, , , and both groups of vanish; the analytic values follow from [A3] by closed-line direct image.

Proof
Given: Full AC, [A1]–[A6] under the exact hypotheses in the Statement, and [F1]–[F6]. Full AC also supplies the DC and countable choice used by [F5]–[F6].
By [A1], every regular complex orbit meets the zero real level in exactly one orbit. Thus inclusion of the zero-level regular locus induces the stated diffeomorphic identification with the regular complex quotient. The compact action [F1] commutes with gauge and preserves both zero moments, so the identification is -equivariant.
To construct the forward map from an arbitrary regular zero-moment datum, use [F4]'s global raw monad. Write and . The identity gives . The standard first-slot-linear Hermitian form on therefore descends to a pairing between and : changing either representative by its -image pairs to zero. The annihilator identities show that the induced pairing is nondegenerate; the Hermitian symmetry follows from that on . Conjugate pullback makes it holomorphic. On a finite real line, [F4]'s Euler decomposition identifies its section space with and the pairing with the restricted positive form; at infinity these are exactly and its fixed frame. The two locally split monad sequences also split as smooth bundles. Their total Chern classes give , hence and . Thus every hypothesis of the inverse Ward construction [A4] is met. It produces a smooth global framed unitary ASD connection, and [F2]–[F3] give with the specified orientation and trace.
We now prove the additional Ward bridge over ; it is not part of [A4]'s ordinary Statement. A first-order ASD object means a locally free rank- module over , with a nondegenerate -Hermitian form positive on reduction, unitary framing and form-preserving connection , with coefficientwise. Morphisms are framed unitary -linear connection isomorphisms. Pull back and define the vertical/horizontal operator using [A4]'s incidence. Its square vanishes by the same curvature identity coefficientwise. Viewed over , this is an integrable Dolbeault operator on a smooth rank- bundle, so [F5] supplies holomorphic frames. Multiplication by is an intertwining map, hence holomorphic, with square zero and image equal to kernel of complex rank . At a point choose holomorphic sections whose form a basis of that image. The sections remain a complex frame nearby by a nonzero determinant. Thus the are a holomorphic -basis. The pairing is holomorphic by metric compatibility as in [A4], and every real-line restriction is the constant free module of its base fibre. This gives the forward first-order Ward object and preserves its framing.
By [A2], regular complex orbits correspond exactly to locally free framed sheaves on : stability gives torsion-freeness and costability gives local freeness. At positive level, , and satisfy both moment equations and are stable, whereas violates costability. Thus the positive-FI quotient includes a non-locally-free point and is not identified here with the ordinary ASD sector. This proves the boundary assertion without using any Ward-family claim.
This Ward connection is the raw projection connection on the finite chart. On the complexified line-parameter chart , let , and . Along the real locus these are ; the complement and invertible Gram persist near each real line. Along a parameter direction in at , the point of is fixed, so differentiating for a section gives . At the real locus write the component of perpendicular to as . Since on these two summands, its kernel condition is . Hence and that component is , zero in monad cohomology. Evaluation therefore transports the canonical relative derivative to . The cotangent uniqueness in [A4]'s incidence construction identifies the full connection with . The global Ward bundle supplies its smooth extension at infinity.
Conversely let be a holomorphic locally free -bundle in the stated monad range. Its underlying complex bundle has rank and is trivial on every real line; no positive complex form on is assumed. Here is the needed section-bundle argument without that assumption. Algebraize by [A3] and form the universal proper flat line family , , with its graph charts as in [F5]. The locally free is base-flat. At a real line its fibre has and . The degree-one base-change map is therefore surjective. By [F5] it is an isomorphism; finiteness from the projective cohomology complex and Nakayama kill the degree-one stalk near that line. The degree-one local-freeness criterion then makes degree-zero base change surjective, hence an isomorphism with locally free section bundle of rank . Evaluation is an isomorphism on the real line. Removing the proper image of its determinant-zero locus makes it an isomorphism on an entire neighboring line family. Analytifying evaluation and using that holomorphic functions on a product with are constant along its fibres identifies the actual analytic section bundle, exactly as in [F5]. Multiplication by commutes with evaluation and has image equal to kernel of rank . The local frame argument of step 1.3 now makes this section bundle free of rank over and evaluation -linear. Restriction to the real locus is a smooth free -bundle.
Conversely, start with a framed ASD connection. By [A4] it has its positive Ward bundle, and the reconstruction supplier produces a monad of ranks , including flat summands. Apply [A5] to this monad to extract its regular zero-moment orbit. Applying step 1.2 to that orbit returns the original framed Ward bundle; the inverse identity in [A4] returns the original connection. Starting with raw data, the cohomology isomorphism in [A4] followed by the chain lifting and inverse extraction in [A6] returns that same normalized monad up to exactly . Thus both composites on framed classes are identities. This uses [A5] only in its stated ASD-to-data direction.
On the graph-chart universal family, consists of variations with . The canonical flat derivative along on transfers by evaluation to the pulled-back section bundle. The restriction of cotangent forms gives : on each line its kernel is with , and the map is equivalently the restriction of linear covectors on to all planes . These planes span that four-dimensional space; both spaces of covectors have dimension four. The same isomorphism tensored with therefore pushes the partial derivative to a unique full -connection, with the Leibniz rule. It is flat on every alpha-plane, hence ASD on the real locus by the incidence curvature polynomial. Duals, conjugate pullback, pairing and morphisms commute with evaluation and this unique construction. Consequently it preserves the induced -Hermitian form and unitary framing. Evaluation intertwines the reconstructed vertical/horizontal operator with the original one, and starting from a connection recovers all its alpha-plane derivatives, which determine the full connection. These prove inverse identities on framed -objects and morphisms. All constructions commute with reduction and , ; this also proves the first-order Ward naturality missing from the ordinary supplier.
The action here is the compact of [F1]. Since and , [F4]'s chain factors are , and ; the induced map at infinity is . Ward reconstruction and inverse extraction commute with these maps by [A4] and [A6]. Thus the bijection of step 3.1 is -equivariant. No assertion for nonunitary complex-torus parameters is needed.
For precision, a tangent vector at a fixed ordinary framed object is a first-order object with identified reduction, modulo isomorphisms inducing identity on that reduction. On the raw side write ; the tangent quotient is the real-linear kernel of modulo , , restricted to the stated monad/base-change range. On the ASD side smooth first-order bundle transitions differ from the reduced ones by an additive cocycle. A partition of unity [F6] splits it: in common bundle notation, for , gives . A change normalizes a metric , and a smooth adjustment near infinity fixes the framing. Thus these tangents are represented by , , with , modulo for smooth with . Here is the bundle of skew-Hermitian endomorphisms and is the covariant exterior derivative. Restrict to those Ward objects admitting the exact monad, section, coefficient-image and base-change conditions already imposed in the Statement; nothing asserts them for all infinitesimal ASD objects.
Apply [A6] over to precisely those monads. Its chain lifting also extends over : the two locally split kernel/image sequences give the same Hom restriction maps, whose kernels and cokernels vanish by the degree-zero, degree-one and degree-two groups of and . The projective twisting-sheaf calculation in [F5] supplies those vanishings over , and , so the lift is uniquely a constant -linear chain map. Uniqueness makes it preserve the lifted pairing whenever the cohomology map does. The raw construction remains valid because every required inverse matrix has invertible reduction, with , and its real-line Euler decomposition holds over . Together with steps 1.3, 2.3 and 3.2 and [A3]'s exact comparison this gives inverse maps on the restricted first-order classes. If a holomorphic -object needs algebraization, apply absolute GAGA to its coherent underlying complex bundle and to its holomorphic nilpotent endomorphism; full faithfulness transports the -action and exactness transports kernel and image. Its locally free -structure follows from the same rank- frame argument, so no general relative algebraization theorem is being assumed. The comparison with framed-sheaf families uses [A2] only with its stipulated relative cohomology ranks and base-change isomorphisms. On fixed reductions all first-order equations, derivatives, changes of bases and gauge actions are real-linear in the coefficients; evaluation and the inverse uniquely determined connection respect their sums. The induced inverse tangent maps are therefore real-linear. This proves the stated first-order compatibility in exactly its prescribed range, including and flat summands, and completes every clause.
Remarks
The triangle records the claimed inverse maps on framed classes. Its identities are proved conditionally in step 3.1; the diagram is not evidence for the normal-form premise [A5].
