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.

Smith normal form of an explicit three-by-three integer matrix

Example

For

A=(210446226),

the Smith normal form over Z is diag⁡(1,2,6), and

coker⁡A≅Z/2⊕Z/6.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Euclidean Smith reduction from Euclidean row and column reduction computes Smith normal form and the invariant-factor quotient interpretation of Invariant-factor decomposition of a finitely generated module over a PID.

[L1]

Smith normal form is unique and its entries are recovered from successive determinantal divisors (Smith normal form is unique through the gcds of its minors).

1.1givenalgebra

Swap the first two columns, replace the second row by R2−4R1 and the third by R3−2R1, and replace the second column by C2−2C1. The remaining lower block is (−46−26). Swap its rows, replace the last row by the last row minus twice the preceding row, and clear the off-diagonal 6 by adding three times the pivot column. Unit row scalings give diag⁡(1,2,6).

2.1step 1.1L1algebra

The gcd of all entries is 1; the minor from rows 1,3 and columns 1,2 is 2, and every two-by-two minor is even, so their gcd is 2; the determinant is 12. Thus the determinantal divisors are 1,2,12, whose successive quotients are 1,2,6, confirming step 1.1 by [L1].

3.1step 1.1given∎

Quotienting the diagonal presentation gives Z/(1)⊕Z/(2)⊕Z/(6); the first summand is zero, yielding the displayed cokernel with no free part because the determinant is nonzero.
