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.

Abelian subcategory and exact embedding

Definition

Let B be a full subcategory of an abelian category A. The subcategory B is an abelian subcategory when for every morphism of B its kernel and cokernel computed in A again lie in B, and when B is closed under finite biproducts in A.

An exact embedding is a full embedding (Embedding and full embedding of categories) whose essential image is an abelian subcategory and whose underlying functor is additive (Additive functor).

Dependency tree · two levels

8 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.
