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 group with the word metric of any generating set is a $(1, 1)$ -quasi-geodesic space

Statement

A group with the word metric of any generating set is a $(1, 1)$ -quasi-geodesic space.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses of the Statement.

[L1]

The word metric is a left-invariant metric and coincides with the path metric of the Cayley graph (The word metric is a left-invariant metric and coincides with the path metric of the Cayley graph).

[L2]

The vertex set of a connected simple graph with its path metric is a $(1, 1)$ -quasi-geodesic space (The vertex set of a connected simple graph with its path metric is a $(1, 1)$ -quasi-geodesic space).

[F1]

The word metric of $G$ with respect to $S$ is $d_{S} (g, h) = ∣ g^{- 1} h ∣_{S}$ (The word metric of a group with respect to a generating set).

[L3]

A group is finitely generated when some finite subset generates it (Finitely generated groups).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1F1L1L3

The word metric is the path metric of the Cayley graph, which is connected because the set generates.

2.1L2step 1.1∎

The previous proposition then applies verbatim.

Dependency tree · two levels

18 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.
