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 FF are linearly isomorphic if and only if they have the same dimension

Statement

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

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Finite-dimensional FF-vector spaces V,WV,W.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

If T:VWT:V\to W is an isomorphism and (bj)j<n(b_j)_{j<n} is a basis of VV, then (T(bj))j<n(T(b_j))_{j<n} is independent because applying T1T^{-1} to a vanishing linear combination makes every coefficient zero, and it spans because every ww equals T(v)T(v) and vv expands in the bjb_j. Thus it is a basis of WW, so the dimensions agree.

2.1

Conversely, if the dimensions agree, choose ordered bases (bj)j<n(b_j)_{j<n} of VV and (cj)j<n(c_j)_{j<n} of WW and define T(jxjbj)=jxjcjT(\sum_jx_jb_j)=\sum_jx_jc_j. Unique coordinates make this a linear map with T(bj)=cjT(b_j)=c_j.

3.1

Defining S(jyjcj)=jyjbjS(\sum_jy_jc_j)=\sum_jy_jb_j gives a linear inverse to TT. For n=0n=0, both bases are empty and both spaces are zero, so the same formulas give the unique isomorphism.
