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.

Noetherian commutative rings and modules

Definition

Let R be a commutative ring (Commutative ring) and let M be an R-module (Unital left and right modules over a ring; unqualified module means left module).

The module M is Noetherian if every submodule of M (Submodule of a module) is finitely generated (Generated submodule, cyclic and finitely generated modules, module basis and free module).

The ring R is Noetherian if its regular module RR is Noetherian. Equivalently, every ideal of R is finitely generated.

For later contradiction arguments, we also use the standard equivalent reformulation: a module or ring is Noetherian exactly when every ascending chain of submodules or ideals stabilizes.

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
