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.
Decomposition of an unramified prime in a cyclotomic field
Statement
Let be the conductor of the cyclotomic field , and let be a rational prime with . Then every prime of above has residue degree the multiplicative order of modulo , and there are exactly such primes.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A cyclotomic field presented by its conductor , so that is the least admissible index for (Cyclotomic conductor of a full cyclotomic field), a rational prime with , and the factorisation with (so and under the hypothesis ).
The conductor of a full cyclotomic field is a reduced index: it is odd or divisible by (Conductor of a full cyclotomic field, Cyclotomic conductor of a full cyclotomic field).
Prime factorisation in a reduced cyclotomic field: for the reduced index , a rational prime , and with , with the pairwise distinct primes of residue degree ; here (Prime factorisation in a cyclotomic field).
For the arithmetic Frobenius at every prime above is the automorphism with (Arithmetic Frobenius is the power map in an unramified cyclotomic field).
Proof
By [F1], is a reduced index; as the -adic valuation is , so and .
Applying [F2] with , , the ideal factors as with pairwise distinct primes of residue degree , so is unramified and these are exactly the primes above .
Therefore every prime above has residue degree and their number is . This degree also equals the order of the arithmetic Frobenius in [F3]: for , , so, since has order and generates , exactly when . The least such is , including for .
Remarks
- Conductor versus displayed index. The statement is about the conductor ; for an unreduced displayed index such as the count and degrees are those of the reduced index , as recorded in The reduced conductor of Q(zeta_6) ↗.
- Order-one convention. For one has and the formula gives the single prime , consistent with .
