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.

(0111) over F2 has characteristic polynomial x2+x+1 and no eigenvalue in its base field

Example

Over F2, the matrix

A=(0111)

has characteristic polynomial x2+x+1 and no eigenvalue in F2.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The displayed matrix over F2=Z/2Z.

[L1]

Since 2 is prime, Z/2Z is a field, whose only elements are 0 and 1 (For every prime p, the two operations on Z/p make it a field).

[L2]

The spectrum over the base field is exactly the root set in that field of the characteristic polynomial (For every finite-dimensional space, σF(T) is exactly the set of roots in F of χT).

Verification

technique · exhaustive finite computation
1.1

In F2[x], χA(x)=det(x11x1)=x(x1)1=x2+x+1.

L1algebra
2.1

By [L1], the only candidate roots are 0 and 1, and χA(0)=1 while χA(1)=1+1+1=1 in F2.

3.1

Thus χA has no root in its base field, and [L2] gives σF2(A)=.
