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.

A periodic resolution for a finite cyclic group

Example

For Cm=⟨t⟩, the augmented complex with alternating maps t−1 and N=1+t+⋯+tm−1 is a free periodic resolution of Z.

Verification

Given: The group ring Z[Cm].

1.1given

(t−1)N=N(t−1)=tm−1=0, so this is a complex.

2.1step 1.1∎

Writing an element as ∑aiti shows ker⁡ε=(t−1)Z[Cm], ker⁡(t−1)=NZ[Cm], and ker⁡N=(t−1)Z[Cm]. Hence it is exact and every term is free.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
