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.
Module homomorphism and isomorphism, kernel, image and cokernel
Definition
For left -modules , a function is an -module homomorphism if
for all and . It is a module isomorphism if it is a bijective module homomorphism.
Its kernel and image are
Once Kernels and images of module homomorphisms are submodules, and injectivity is equivalent to trivial kernel establishes that the image is a submodule, the cokernel of is the quotient module .

9 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.
