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.
PID Kunneth is a two-column collapse
Statement
Assume AC. For bounded-below free complexes over a PID , the Künneth spectral sequence has only columns and gives the natural short exact sequence Its arrows agree with the published cross-product and Tor quotient. It admits splittings, but no splitting natural in both complexes exists in general.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The PID, free bounded-below complexes, and AC.
The Künneth sequence has Tor second page and finite increasing filtration (Kunneth Tor spectral sequence).
Under AC, submodules of arbitrary-rank free PID modules are free (A submodule of an arbitrary-rank free module over a PID is free).
The published Künneth short exact sequence has the natural cross-product injection (The Kunneth theorem for free complexes over a PID).
The published Künneth Tor-map lemma constructs, from the cycle-boundary presentations, the natural surjection from tensor-product homology onto the displayed direct sum of Tor groups (The Kunneth Tor map).
AC supplies choices indexed by an arbitrary set (The Axiom of Choice).
Proof
The free presentation of any module by the free module on its underlying set has free kernel by F2. Under AC both free modules are projective, since one can lift the images of a basis across an epimorphism by F5. Thus every module has projective dimension at most one, and all for vanish. In F1 all with vanish because no two surviving columns can be joined by their first-coordinate change . The finite filtration therefore has equal to the tensor sum and equal to the Tor-one sum.
The column-zero map is induced by tensors of cycles, hence is the cross product in F3. To identify the other map, use the length-one presentations from F2. In the construction of F1, a resolution-degree-one cycle projects to a class in killed by . Its representative is exactly the image under tensored with the cycle. The Koszul differential gives the positive term. This is precisely the cycle-boundary representative used in F4's construction of the natural Tor surjection. Consequently the spectral-sequence quotient map and the published Tor map agree on representatives, so the two exact sequences have the same arrows, not merely isomorphic endpoints.
For existence of a splitting, F2 and F5 allow choices of sections and in all degrees. They decompose each complex into the direct sum, locally finite in degree, of the two-term free presentations placed in degrees , and similarly for . Their tensor is the direct sum of tensor products of those length-one resolutions. Each such tensor contributes Tor in resolution degrees zero and one and zero in higher degrees, by step 1.1 and the balanced calculation in F1. Taking homology gives a direct-sum decomposition into the two displayed sums. Its tensor summand is the canonical cross product, and its complementary summand maps isomorphically to the quotient, so it supplies a section. This construction locates the use of AC in freeness, basis lifts and the chosen sections.
Nonnaturality already occurs over . Take , , with , and , , with , zero elsewhere. Degree-one cycles in the tensor are freely generated by and ; the degree-two boundaries are generated by and . Hence . The tensor subobject is generated by and the Tor quotient by the image of . The chain automorphism , , acts identically on and both ends of the exact sequence, but sends . Every lift of the quotient generator is , with , and this automorphism fixes neither lift. A natural section would have to fix its image, which is impossible. Empty sums and zero complexes give the zero exact sequence; the same finite-filtration proof covers the bottom degree.
