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 Fitting and Frattini subgroups of S3

Example

For S3, one has O3(S3)=A3, O2(S3)=1, F(S3)=A3, and Φ(S3)=1. Hence F(S3/Φ(S3))=F(S3)/Φ(S3). See The Fitting subgroup F(G)=pOp(G) of a finite group.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses and objects in the Example.

[L1]

For a finite group G, the Fitting subgroup is F(G):=pGOp(G), the product of its p-cores (def-p-core-of-a-finite-group). The factors are normal, so their finite product is a normal subgroup and does not depend on the order of multiplication. For the trivial group the product is empty and equals 1. (The Fitting subgroup F(G)=pOp(G) of a finite group).

[L2]

For a finite group G, the Frattini subgroup is Φ(G):={MG:M is maximal proper}. If G=1, the family is empty and its intersection inside G is G itself. Thus Φ(1)=1. (The Frattini subgroup Φ(G) as the intersection of the maximal subgroups of a finite group).

[L3]

For every finite group G, F(G) is nilpotent and normal, and every normal nilpotent subgroup of G is contained in F(G). (The Fitting subgroup is nilpotent and is the largest normal nilpotent subgroup of a finite group).

[L4]

Let nN, so that n={0,1,,n1} (def-natural-numbers). The symmetric group on n letters is Sn:=Sym(n)=Sym({0,1,,n1}), the group of all bijections of n under composition (def-symmetric-group), with the composition convention. (The finite symmetric group Sn, one-line notation, and cycle notation).

Verification

1.1

The subgroup A3 is the unique Sylow 3-subgroup, so O3(S3)=A3. The three order-2 subgroups are conjugate, so no nontrivial 2-subgroup is normal and O2(S3)=1. Therefore F(S3)=A3.

2.1

The maximal subgroups are A3 and the three order-2 subgroups, whose intersection is 1; hence Φ(S3)=1. The quotient identity reduces to F(S3)=F(S3) and is therefore satisfied. This proves the stated claim.
