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.
C_2 free-product C_3 has presentation with only the two factor relations and is infinite
Example
The free product has presentation and is infinite.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the example.
Suppose each has a presentation , with the alphabets replaced by disjoint copies. Then (A free product has the union presentation of presentations of its factors).
Every element of has a unique reduced syllable expression. The identity is represented by the empty word, and no nonempty reduced word represents the identity. (Normal form theorem for free products).
For every , view as its canonical nonnegative integer and put . Then the left cosets of in are exactly the congruence classes modulo , and coset addition is the published addition of congruence classes. Thus as the same group on the same underlying set. This includes and . (For every , the congruence-class group is the quotient group ).
Verification
The presentation theorem contributes only the defining relations of the two factors.
For , the words are reduced; the word is empty and positive have distinct lengths. Normal form therefore makes them pairwise distinct, proving infinitude.
