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
the Smith normal form over is , and
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.
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).
Verification
Swap the first two columns, replace the second row by and the third by , and replace the second column by . The remaining lower block is . Swap its rows, replace the last row by the last row minus twice the preceding row, and clear the off-diagonal by adding three times the pivot column. Unit row scalings give .
The gcd of all entries is ; the minor from rows and columns is , and every two-by-two minor is even, so their gcd is ; the determinant is . Thus the determinantal divisors are , whose successive quotients are , confirming step 1.1 by [L1].
Quotienting the diagonal presentation gives ; the first summand is zero, yielding the displayed cokernel with no free part because the determinant is nonzero.

Dependency tree · two levels
12 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.
