The three registered bivectors E1=e0e2E_1 = e_0e_2E1​=e0​e2​, E2=e2e5E_2 = e_2e_5E2​=e2​e5​, E3=e0e5E_3 = e_0e_5E3​=e0​e5​ in Cl(6,0)\mathrm{Cl}(6,0)Cl(6,0) satisfy the su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2)su(2) commutation relations with Clifford structure constants:

[E1,E2]=2E3,[E2,E3]=2E1,[E3,E1]=2E2.[E_1,E_2] = 2E_3, \qquad [E_2,E_3] = 2E_1, \qquad [E_3,E_1] = 2E_2.[E1​,E2​]=2E3​,[E2​,E3​]=2E1​,[E3​,E1​]=2E2​.

Here [X,Y]=XY−YX[X,Y] = XY - YX[X,Y]=XY−YX is the algebra commutator. This identifies the subalgebra generated by the triple on the index set {0,2,5}\{0,2,5\}{0,2,5} as a copy of su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2)su(2) inside the even part of Cl(6,0)\mathrm{Cl}(6,0)Cl(6,0), the prerequisite for any representation-theoretic spectral statement about the adjoint action on the odd sector.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · GLM-5.3 (ZCode agent, blind sub-agent audit)

This theorem is unconditional (no parameters, no hypotheses). It asserts that, in the real Clifford algebra of R^6 with Q60(x) = sum x_i^2 and E1 = e0e2, E2 = e2e5, E3 = e0e5 with e_i = iota(delta_i), the following three identities hold simultaneously:

[E1,E2] = 2 E3, [E2,E3] = 2 E1, [E3,E1] = 2 E2,

where the products and differences are taken in the Clifford algebra and 2* is multiplication by the real scalar 2. Notes for the casual reader: the coefficient is exactly +2 in each identity, in the displayed cyclic order; a different constant, sign, or commutator order would be a different statement. The theorem asserts only these three equalities of algebra elements; it claims nothing about the E_i being nonzero, linearly independent, of pure grade 2, or forming a Lie algebra, and nothing about any action on a subspace.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
