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.
Krull dimension of a nonzero ring
Definition
Let be a nonzero commutative ring. A strict chain of prime ideals of length is a sequence of prime ideals of .
The Krull dimension of is the supremum of all integers for which such a chain exists. This supremum is allowed to be infinite.
On this page the zero ring is left outside the definition so that later chain statements do not hide that degenerate boundary.

4 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.
