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.
has discriminant and Galois group over
Example
has Galois group over . Its discriminant is , and its splitting field is a cyclic cubic extension of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The rational-root theorem (Rational root theorem) and the discriminant convention of The discriminant of a monic polynomial as the coefficient expression of .
A monic irreducible separable cubic over a field of characteristic not two has group when its discriminant is a square (A monic irreducible separable cubic in characteristic not two has Galois group or according to its discriminant).
Verification
The only rational-root candidates are and , and the polynomial takes the values and there. It has no rational root, so the cubic is irreducible.
For a depressed cubic , the discriminant is ; here it is , which is nonzero.
Steps 1.1 and 1.2 give an irreducible separable cubic with square discriminant, so [L1] gives Galois group . Its order is three, equal to the splitting-field degree.

Dependency tree · two levels
18 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.
