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 maximal subgroups of the dihedral group of order eight as Frattini hyperplanes

Example

For $D = Dih (C_{4}) = ⟨ r, s ⟩$ , the maximal subgroups are

$⟨ r ⟩, ⟨ r^{2}, s ⟩, ⟨ r^{2}, r s ⟩ .$

Modulo $Φ (D) = ⟨ r^{2} ⟩$ , these are the hyperplanes of $(Z / 2)^{2}$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The dihedral group $D = Dih (C_{4})$ of order eight.

[L1]

For $D = Dih (C_{4})$ one has $Φ (D) = ⟨ r^{2} ⟩$ , and for the dihedral group of order eight and $Q_{8}$ the Frattini subgroup has order two and the Frattini quotient is $(Z / 2)^{2}$ (The Frattini subgroups of the dihedral and quaternion groups of order eight).

[L2]

If $π : P \to E = P / Φ (P)$ is the quotient map, the maximal subgroups of $P$ are exactly $π^{- 1} (\ker λ) = \ker (λ \circ π)$ for nonzero $F_{p}$ -linear homomorphisms $λ : E \to Z / p$ (Maximal subgroups of a finite $p$ -group are the inverse images of Frattini hyperplanes).

1.1givenL1algebra

The three displayed subgroups have order four, are distinct, and contain $Φ (D) = ⟨ r^{2} ⟩$ from [L1]. Since $D$ has order eight, each is maximal.

2.1step 1.1L2algebra∎

Use the quotient basis $(r Φ (D), s Φ (D))$ . The quotient images of the displayed subgroups are the lines spanned by $(1, 0)$ , $(0, 1)$ , and $(1, 1)$ , which are respectively the kernels of $(a, b) \mapsto b$ , $(a, b) \mapsto a$ , and $(a, b) \mapsto a + b$ . These are precisely the hyperplanes described by [L2].

Dependency tree · two levels

16 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.
