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.
Certified fixed-dimensional special-unitary input
Definition
Fix and put A certified matrix input is an exact target together with a deterministic Cauchy-name procedure which, on unary input for , returns a rational complex matrix such that each real and imaginary coordinate of each entry differs from the corresponding coordinate of by at most . The interface also specifies a worst-case bit-time bound for the query. A polynomial-time name has for some fixed integer . The target is the matrix specified by the entire Cauchy name; if two targets satisfy these bounds for the same sequence , every coordinate difference is at most for all , hence is zero. No individual is required to be unitary or special unitary. A requested tolerance is a positive binary rational and its numerator/denominator encoding length is recorded separately. For this specializes the unary-name convention of Effective Unitary Matrix Input. For it is the same entrywise interface in the fixed block dimensions; no dimension is input to an algorithm as an unbounded parameter.

Dependency tree · two levels
2 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.
