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.
Left and right cosets and of a subgroup
Definition
Let be a group and let be a subgroup (Group and abelian group, Subgroup). For , the left coset and right coset of represented by are
The element is a representative of these cosets. The notation denotes subsets of ; it does not assert that either subset is a subgroup.
Definition references
Remarks
- Because the identity belongs to , every representative belongs to its two cosets: .
- The identity cosets are . Left and right cosets can differ in a nonabelian group.

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.
