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.

The quotient group G/N and coset product (gN)(hN)=ghN

Definition

Let G be a group and let N⊴G be a normal subgroup (Normal subgroup: invariance under conjugation). The quotient group, or factor group, G/N has the left cosets

G/N:={gN:g∈G}

as its elements (Left and right cosets gH and Hg of a subgroup, The coset set G/H and the index [G:H] of a subgroup), with product

(gN)(hN):=ghN.

Independence of the chosen representatives is proved in Coset multiplication (gH)(hH)=ghH is well defined if and only if H is normal ↗, and the group axioms are proved in For N⊴G, the cosets form a group with identity N and inverse (gN)−1=g−1N ↗.

Dependency tree · two levels

8 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.
