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.

Simple-root lifting and factor lifting produce the same root

Example

For the polynomial f(T)=T2−T−t∈k⟦t⟧[T], the residue class a‾=1∈k is a simple root of f‾. Lifting that root directly or by first lifting the factor T−1 produces the same root.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The complete local ring k⟦t⟧ and the polynomial f(T)=T2−T−t.

[L1]

Complete local rings are Henselian (Complete local rings are Henselian).

[L2]

In a Henselian local ring, every simple residue root lifts uniquely (Factor lifting implies simple-root lifting).

[L3]

A Henselian local ring has the unique coprime factor-lifting property (Henselian pairs and Henselian local rings).

By [L1], the complete local ring k⟦t⟧ is Henselian. Modulo t, one has f‾=T(T−1), so a‾=1 is a simple root. By [L2], there is a unique root a∈k⟦t⟧ with a≡1(modt) and f(a)=0. The first two correction stages give a≡1+t(modt2),a≡1+t−t2(modt3).

2.1L3step 1.1givenalgebra

The residue factorization f‾=T(T−1) is monic and coprime, so [L3] gives a factorization f=(T−b)h(T) with b≡1(modt). Evaluating at T=b gives f(b)=0, so b is another lift of the same simple residue root.

3.1L2step 1.1step 2.1∎

By uniqueness in [L2], one has a=b. Equivalently, the root obtained from the lifted linear factor is exactly the same root obtained from the simple-root lifting procedure.
