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 R be a commutative ring (Commutative ring). An R-algebra is a unital ring A together with a unital ring homomorphism

ηA:R⟶A

(Ring homomorphism: additive, multiplicative, and required to send 1 to 1) whose image is central: ηA(r)a=aηA(r) for every r∈R and a∈A. The induced scalar action is ra:=ηA(r)a, making A an R-module and multiplication A×A→A bilinear.

An R-algebra homomorphism f:A→B is a unital ring homomorphism satisfying f∘ηA=ηB. Such a map is automatically R-linear. An R-algebra is commutative when its underlying ring is commutative.

Dependency tree · two levels

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.
