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 Bass-Serre tree of an amalgamated free product
Example
For an amalgamated free product , the Bass-Serre tree has vertices the left cosets of and and edges the left cosets of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The one-segment graph-of-groups description of an amalgamated free product.
A one-segment graph of groups yields an amalgamated free product. (A one-segment graph of groups gives an amalgamated free product)
In the Bass-Serre tree, vertices are cosets of vertex groups and edges are cosets of edge groups. (The Bass-Serre tree of a graph of groups)
Verification
Realize by the one-segment graph of groups from [L1]. Then [L2] says the two vertex orbits are and , while the edge orbit is .
The edge coset joins the vertices and , so the tree records exactly how the amalgamating subgroup sits in the two factors.

Dependency tree · two levels
7 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.
