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.

Example

For the D4 diagram with central vertex 2, put J={2} and write s=s1, t=s2, u=s3, and v=s4. A label (x,i) abbreviates the pair (x,{i}), and e is the identity. The 32 relative chambers have the following labels; the vertex numbers are used only to specify their graph.

The undirected adjacency pairs are (1,2),(1,8),(1,10),(2,3),(2,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,6),(4,7),(5,11),(5,12),(6,9),(7,15),(7,16),(8,11),(8,23),(9,13),(9,14),(10,16),(10,25),(11,17),(12,13),(12,18),(13,19),(14,15),(14,20),(15,21),(16,22),(17,23),(17,26),(18,19),(18,26),(19,24),(20,21),(20,24),(21,28),(22,25),(22,28),(23,32),(24,27),(25,32),(26,29),(27,29),(27,30),(28,30),(29,31),(30,31),(31,32). Each adjacency between A=(x,I) and B=(y,K) supplies opposite arrows in the universal wall groupoid BH~(J). This groupoid has the chamber labels as objects and one arrow from A to B, labelled x−1y; composition multiplies labels in traversal order. These adjacent-crossing arrows generate the groupoid.

Facts & Assumptions

In the simple-root basis, si changes only coordinate i, replacing it by its negative plus the sum of its neighbours' coordinates. The dual action is (xf)(a)=f(x−1a). D4 diagram and generator conventions

[F2]

A label is a pair (x,I) with WJx=xWI and x of minimum length in xWI. Such labels correspond bijectively to relative chambers by (x,I)↦xCI. Here CI consists of dual functionals vanishing on the simple roots indexed by I and positive on the others. Algebraic chamber-label set Labelling theorem for relative chambers

[F3]

The relative space is all of ΘJ, its arrangement has the seven hyperplanes represented by α1,α3,α4,α1+α2+α3,α1+α2+α4,α2+α3+α4,α1+α2+α3+α4, and it has exactly 32 chambers. Seven relative D4 hyperplanes and thirty-two chambers

If xαi is positive then ℓ(xsi)>ℓ(x). The geometric representation is faithful. The root-length criterion and faithfulness of the canonical reflection representation

[F5]

Adjacent labelled chambers have mutually inverse simple wall crossings, one in each direction. The simple wall-crossing notation is ωa,I(x,I)=(xva,I,K); for the wall from (x,I) to (y,K) it gives y=xva,I. Simple wall-crossing elements and maps Adjacent chambers and inverse wall-crossing elements

[F6]

The universal wall groupoid BH~(J) has objects Cham(J) and one arrow from (x,I) to (y,K), labelled x−1y. Composition multiplies labels in traversal order; the reverse arrow, labelled y−1x, is its inverse. Universal wall groupoid on relative chambers

[F7]

For a finite-rank Coxeter system, the arrows between adjacent chambers generate the universal wall groupoid. The universal wall groupoid is generated by adjacent crossings

Verification

Given: The D4 data, labels and vertex numbering in the Example.

Goal: Verify the labels, the complete adjacency list, and the opposite arrows.

1.1F1F2F4given

For each row (x,i), apply the reflection rule in [F1] from right to left to αi. The result is xαi=α2 in every row. Therefore xsix−1=s2, so WJx=xW{i}. Also xαi is positive; by [F4], ℓ(xsi)>ℓ(x). Since W{i}={e,si}, x is shortest in its right coset. Thus each row is a valid label in [F2].

2.1F1F2F3step 1.1

For an independently reproducible chamber certificate, let fi(αi)=0 and fi(αj)=1 for j≠i. For each row calculate the signs of (xfi)(r) in the order of the seven roots in [F3], applying the letters of x from left to right to each root before evaluating with fi. The resulting sign strings for vertices 1 through 32, in order, are −−+−+++,−++−+++,−++−−++,−++++++,−++−−+−,−+++−++,+++++++,−−+−++−,−+−+−++,+−+−+++,−−+−−+−,−+−−−+−,−+−+−+−,++−+−++,++−++++,+−+++++,−−+−−−−,−+−−−−−,−+−+−−−,++−+−−+,++−++−+,+−+++−+,−−+−+−−,++−+−−−,+−+−+−+,−−−−−−−,+−−+−−−,+−−++−+,+−−−−−−,+−−++−−,+−−−+−−,+−+−+−−. No entry is zero and all strings are distinct. Each fi lies in C{i}, so [F2] places xfi in the chamber represented by its row. The 32 distinct chambers exhaust the 32 chambers of [F3].

3.1F3step 2.1

Two regions of a finite real hyperplane arrangement are adjacent exactly when their sign strings differ in one position. Indeed, adjacent regions differ only across their common wall. Conversely, for points in two regions differing only at one hyperplane, their joining segment stays strictly on the common side of every other hyperplane and crosses the remaining hyperplane at a point in no other hyperplane; a small neighbourhood there supplies a common facet. Comparing the strings in step 2.1 gives exactly the 48 pairs in the Example. In particular no adjacency is omitted.

4.1F5F6F7givenstep 3.1

For any listed adjacency from A=(x,I) to B=(y,K), [F5] gives y=xva,I, so [F6] identifies its arrow label as x−1y=va,I. The reverse arrow has label y−1x and is its inverse in this groupoid. The D4 system has four simple generators, so [F7] applies. Since step 3.1 lists every adjacency, these are precisely the adjacent-crossing arrows and they generate BH~(J).

5.1F2F5step 2.1step 3.1step 4.1∎

Vertex 7 is the fundamental label (e,2). The listed graph is connected, as can be checked by following its edges from vertex 7 to every listed vertex. Following such a path recovers each displayed label by the iterative simple wall-crossing formula in [F5]; the bijection in [F2] ensures that the recovered label is the one in its row. Together with the exhaustive chamber and adjacency certificates and the generating-arrow identification, this proves the example.
