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.
Conjugation by in exchanges the transpositions and
Example
Conjugation by in exchanges the transpositions and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The symmetric group on , with composition acting right-to-left.
Conjugation is an automorphism (Conjugation is an automorphism).
Inner automorphisms are conjugations (Inner automorphisms and ).
Elements of are bijections composed right-to-left (The symmetric group : the bijections of a set under composition).
These bijections form a group ( is a group under composition, and it is non-abelian whenever has at least three distinct elements).
Verification
Direct evaluation on gives .
Since , the same computation with the roles reversed gives .
Thus this inner automorphism exchanges the two stated transpositions.
Depends on
- Conjugation $x\mapsto gxg^{-1}$ is an automorphism
- Inner automorphisms and $\operatorname{Inn}(G)$
- The symmetric group $\operatorname{Sym}(X)$: the bijections of a set $X$ under composition
- $\operatorname{Sym}(X)$ is a group under composition, and it is non-abelian whenever $X$ has at least three distinct elements
