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.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The inversion generating function, the major-index generating function, and the equidistribution of descents and excedances on S4 (The inversion generating function of Sn is [n]q!, The major-index generating function of Sn is [n]q!, Descents and excedances are equidistributed on Sn).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

The table is an exhaustive enumeration of the 24 one-line permutations of S4, with each statistic computed directly from its definition.

given
2.1

Reading off the distributions from the table gives 1+3q+5q2+6q3+5q4+3q5+q6 for inversions, the same polynomial for the major index, and (1,11,11,1) for both descents and excedances. This matches the three cited theorems.

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
