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.
For , the determinant over a commutative ring by the Leibniz formula, and for a real matrix
Definition
Let be a commutative ring, let , and let . Its determinant is The sum is finite because has elements. The product is taken in , so the signs and act through the ring identities. The formula uses columns indexed by and rows indexed by .
When is real, means the ordinary real absolute value of its real determinant. It is not alternate notation for the determinant itself.
Depends on
- Finite rectangular matrices over a commutative ring, their entries, rows and columns
- Inversions, inversion number, the sign $\operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)=(-1)^{\operatorname{inv}(\sigma)}$, and even and odd permutations
- A finite sum in a commutative monoid indexed by an arbitrary finite set
- The product $g_0 g_1 \cdots g_{n-1}$ of a finite list in a monoid, by recursion, with the empty product ($n = 0$) equal to the identity
- A finite set $A$ with $\lvert A\rvert = n$ has exactly $n!$ bijections onto itself, and $n!$ bijections onto any set of the same cardinality
- Absolute value in an ordered field
- The reals form a field
- The reals form a totally ordered field
- Every field is a commutative ring with $1 \ne 0$; it is an integral domain, and it is a commutative division ring
