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.

A product of two infinite groups need not be hyperbolic

Statement refuted

The product of two infinite groups need not be hyperbolic.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The direct product Z×Z.

[L1]

Free abelian groups of rank at least two are not hyperbolic (Free abelian groups of rank at least two are not hyperbolic).

Counterexample

technique · direct
1.1

The group Z×Z is a direct product of two infinite groups and is free abelian of rank 2.

given
2.1

Therefore [L1] shows that Z×Z is not hyperbolic. So the general claim fails.

Dependency tree · two levels

5 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
