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.
Sum and product totalisations on an infinite diagonal
Statement refuted
The two totalisations of an infinite-diagonal double complex need not have the same homology. In particular it is false that they are always isomorphic. Compute the witness for , with all other components and all arrows zero.
Facts & Assumptions
Direct sum total complex of a double complex and Product total complex of a double complex define the diagonal total objects and their differentials.
Countable sequence groups and tail filtrations gives , , their universal properties and their distinct countable/uncountable cardinalities, with .
Homology object of a chain complex defines homology as cycles modulo boundaries.
Counterexample
Given: The zero-arrow double complex in the statement, as in Sum and product totalisations can differ on infinite diagonals. Its zero composites satisfy all double-complex identities.
Only total degree zero has nonzero components. Consequently and by [F1, F2]. All other total degrees and every total differential vanish. In either complex every degree-zero element is a cycle and the boundary subgroup is zero. Thus the homology groups in degree zero are and respectively, and all other homology groups are zero.
The canonical comparison has degree-zero component the finite-support inclusion. The tuple has infinite support, so it is not in the image; its homology class is unchanged because there are no boundaries. Even an abstract homology isomorphism is impossible: has a bijection with , while every purported enumeration misses the sequence . Therefore a bijection would contradict [F2].
The support includes for every positive , so is not first quadrant and is infinite on its sole nonzero diagonal. Hence neither first-quadrant finite-diagonal comparison nor finite-filtration convergence is contradicted. The index contributes one copy of , the omitted total degrees are genuinely zero, and all constructions and diagonalization are explicit and choice-free.
