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.

Infinite complex projective space is K(Z,2)

Claim

Assume AC. Despite the legacy item ID, the correct statement is

CPK(Z,2),

not K(Z,1). The universal circle bundle is SCP and its total space is contractible.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

The join of N+1 copies of S1 is S2N+1, compatibly with the standard inclusions (Finite join models for the circle and the two-point group).

[F2]

The same homeomorphism is equivariant and identifies the diagonal S1-quotient with CPN (Finite join models for the circle and the two-point group).

[F3]

Milnor's infinite join is contractible and gives a numerable circle bundle (Milnor's join model is a contractible free G-space).

[F4]

Assuming AC, every numerable fiber bundle is a Hurewicz fibration (Numerable fiber bundles are hurewicz fibrations), and its homotopy groups fit into the fibration long exact sequence (Long exact sequence of homotopy groups of a fibration).

[A1]

AC is used exactly through the numerable-bundle lifting theorem in [F4] (The Axiom of Choice).

Verification

Given: The standard scalar action of S1.

1.1

By [F1, F2], the finite stages of Milnor's bundle are the Hopf bundles S2N+1CPN. Passing through their compatible inclusions identifies the infinite bundle with

F1F2

S1SCP.

Its total space is Milnor's ES1 and is contractible by [F3]. [F3]

2.1

Assume [A1]. By [F4], the numerable bundle in Step 1.1 is a Hurewicz fibration; the exact AC expenditure is the well-ordering used in that supplier's lifting-function construction. The long exact sequence and contractibility give πk(CP)πk1(S1) for k2, while its component segment gives π1(CP)=0. Since π1(S1)Z and πj(S1)=0 for j>1, the sole positive homotopy group is π2Z. The space is connected, so a CW model is K(Z,2).

Dependency tree · two levels

29 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.
