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.
Algebras over a commutative ring, central structure maps, and algebra homomorphisms
Definition
Let be a commutative ring (Commutative ring). An -algebra is a unital ring together with a unital ring homomorphism
(Ring homomorphism: additive, multiplicative, and required to send to ) whose image is central: for every and . The induced scalar action is , making an -module and multiplication bilinear.
An -algebra homomorphism is a unital ring homomorphism satisfying . Such a map is automatically -linear. An -algebra is commutative when its underlying ring is commutative.

7 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.
