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.

Suspension prespectra of spheres are shifts

Example

For every r≥0 there is a canonical isomorphism of sequential prespectra

Σ∞Sr≅sh⁡rS.

With the grading convention of this page, it follows that

 πk(Σ∞Sr)≅πk−rs. 

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Canonical smash associators are coherent with the leading S1 structure coordinate (Canonical associativity, symmetry, and unit maps for smash products).

[F2]

The shift formula is πk(sh⁡E)≅πk−1(E) (Shift and suspension of sequential prespectra).

Verification

Given: An integer r≥0.

1.1F1

At level n, the canonical smash associator gives [F1] (Σ∞Sr)n=Sn∧Sr≅Sn+r=Sn+r=(sh⁡rS)n.

1.2F1

Both structure maps add a leading S1 coordinate. Smash coherence says the level homeomorphisms commute with these structure maps, so they form a strict prespectrum isomorphism.

2.1F2step 1.2

Applying [F2] r times gives πk(sh⁡rS)≅πk−r(S)=πk−rs. The opposite sign in the Step-1 scaffold is incompatible with the direct reindexing and is not used. □

Dependency tree · two levels

8 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.
