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.

One fixed-alphabet Dinur transformation

Definition

Let Σ⋆ denote the fixed alphabet of 66 symbols produced by the alphabet reduction of Fixed-alphabet reduction with constant gap retention, that is, Σ⋆={B(0),B(1)}⊔{0,1}6, and let W⋆=∣Σ⋆∣=66≥2.

Fix the constants of the gap-amplification step of A complete uniform graph gap-amplification step at the input alphabet Σ⋆: its threshold t0 (which depends only on W⋆ and on the absolute constants of that theorem), its output alphabet Σt, its output degree bound dt, its blowup Ct, its gap map gt(ε)=βtmin⁡(ε,c/t) and its completeness and edgeless-input clauses. For every integer t≥t0, denoted in the sequel by t being in the transformation domain, define, for every finite binary constraint graph G over Σ⋆ whose relation tables are explicit and whose degree is arbitrary, Tt(G):=AΣt(Rt(G)), where:

  • Rt(G) is the output of the published complete uniform gap-preserving step of A complete uniform graph gap-amplification step applied to G: first the degree reduction, then the local-view powering. It is a binary constraint graph over the finite alphabet Σt with at most Ct∣E(G)∣ ordinary edges, and it is edgeless whenever G is edgeless;
  • Σt has ∣Σt∣=∣Σ⋆∣(2D)R symbols for the absolute constant D=387 and the view radius R=t+⌈t⌉, so ∣Σt∣≥2 for every t in the domain;
  • AΣt is the alphabet reduction of Fixed-alphabet reduction with constant gap retention instantiated at the input alphabet Σt, a deterministic map sending finite Σt-graphs to finite binary constraint graphs over Σ⋆ again.

Thus Tt is a map from finite binary constraint graphs over Σ⋆ to finite binary constraint graphs over Σ⋆, defined exactly for integers t≥t0. It retains the input edge multiplicities and relation orientations throughout: both stages enumerate their relation tables explicitly and copy edge records, one per occurrence, without merging parallel edges or reversing endpoint order. It is deterministic and polynomial time in the bit length of the explicit encoding of its input, and it satisfies ∣E(Tt(G))∣≤6MΣt Ct ∣E(G)∣ for the constant MΣt of Alphabet reduction controls explicit size and degree attached to the input alphabet Σt, while every output degree is bounded by the constant 6MΣtdt, which depends only on Σ⋆ and t. By the two cited edgeless clauses, Tt maps an edgeless graph to the edgeless graph over Σ⋆. The definition asserts nothing about unsatisfaction; the amplification and completeness properties of Tt are separate results.

Remarks

The alphabet is fixed before the powering parameter is chosen: Σ⋆ is used as the input alphabet of Rt, the intermediate alphabet Σt is a function of t alone, and the alphabet reduction returns to the same absolute alphabet Σ⋆. This is what lets the same map Tt be iterated without changing the alphabet between rounds; the later iteration fixes one integer t in the domain once and for all.

The construction is choice-free. The degree reduction, the powering, the edge-circuit construction and the alphabet reduction are all deterministic finite constructions, and no selection from a varying family of nonempty sets occurs.

19 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.
