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.

Sym⁡({0,1,2})≅⟨s,t∣s2, t2, (st)3⟩

Example

With rightmost-first composition and transpositions s=(0 1) and t=(1 2),

Sym⁡({0,1,2})≅⟨s,t∣s2, t2, (st)3⟩.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The set A={0,1,2}, the permutations s=(0 1) and t=(1 2), and the presentation P=⟨s,t∣s2,t2,(st)3⟩.

[L1]
[L2]

A map of generators that sends every relator to the identity extends uniquely to a homomorphism from the presented group (Von Dyck's theorem: maps of generators that satisfy the relators extend uniquely from a presented group).

Verification

technique · constructive
1.1

Direct permutation computation gives s2=t2=id⁡ and (st)3=id⁡, so [L2] constructs a homomorphism π:P→Sym⁡(A).

L2construct
1.2

After cancelling s2 and t2, every word alternates. The relation (st)3=e gives stst=ts and hence tst=sts after multiplying on the left by s; replacing the first three letters of any alternating word of length at least four by the other side creates an adjacent equal pair and shortens the word.

given
1.3

Their images are respectively id⁡,(0 1),(1 2),(0 1 2),(0 2 1),(0 2), so they are distinct; [L1] gives ∣Sym⁡(A)∣=3!=6, and these images exhaust it.

L1given
2.1

Repeating step 1.2 leaves one of e,s,t,st,ts,sts, since the two alternating words of length three are equal.

step 1.2
3.1

Step 2.1 gives at most six elements in P, while step 1.3 gives six distinct images under π; hence π is bijective and is the claimed isomorphism.

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.
