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.
Möbius transformations of the Riemann sphere
Definition
For complex numbers with , the associated Möbius transformation is the map given on the finite plane by whenever , and extended by
Two coefficient quadruples that differ by a common nonzero scalar define the same map. The next theorem packages this as the quotient by scalar matrices.

Used by
- A unique Möbius transformation carries any ordered triple of distinct sphere points to any other Theorem
- Every Möbius transformation is a biholomorphism of the Riemann sphere Theorem
- Möbius transformations form a group and identify with the projective linear quotient of GL₂(C) Theorem
- Nonidentity Möbius transformations are parabolic or conjugate to a dilation, with the projective trace invariant Theorem
Dependency tree · two levels
3 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.
