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.

Two finite-dimensional vector spaces over F are linearly isomorphic if and only if they have the same dimension

Statement

Two finite-dimensional vector spaces over the same field F are linearly isomorphic if and only if they have the same dimension.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Finite-dimensional F-vector spaces V,W.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

If T:V→W is an isomorphism and (bj)j<n is a basis of V, then (T(bj))j<n is independent because applying T−1 to a vanishing linear combination makes every coefficient zero, and it spans because every w equals T(v) and v expands in the bj. Thus it is a basis of W, so the dimensions agree.

2.1

Conversely, if the dimensions agree, choose ordered bases (bj)j<n of V and (cj)j<n of W and define T(∑jxjbj)=∑jxjcj. Unique coordinates make this a linear map with T(bj)=cj.

3.1

Defining S(∑jyjcj)=∑jyjbj gives a linear inverse to T. For n=0, both bases are empty and both spaces are zero, so the same formulas give the unique isomorphism.

25 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.
