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.

The affine group AGL(1,p) has one kernel-conjugacy class of complements to its translation subgroup

Example

Let p be prime. In the affine group

AGL(1,p)=FpFp×,

all complements to the translation subgroup Fp are conjugate by translations.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A prime p and the semidirect product FpFp×.

[L1]

First cohomology classifies complements up to kernel conjugacy (First cohomology classifies complements up to kernel conjugacy).

[L2]

The two operations on Fp make it a field (For every prime p, the two operations on Z/p make it a field).

[L3]

The multiplicative group Fp× is cyclic, and crossed homomorphisms from a cyclic group are determined by the value on a generator (The multiplicative group Fq× of a finite field is cyclic, Crossed homomorphisms from a cyclic group are determined by the value on a generator).

[L4]

First cohomology is the quotient of crossed homomorphisms by principal crossed homomorphisms (First cohomology via crossed homomorphisms).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

If p=2, then F2×={1} is trivial, so the only crossed homomorphism F2×F2 is the zero map. Hence H1(F2×,F2)=0 by [L4].

givenL2L4algebra
1.2

Suppose p>2. By [L2] and [L3], choose a generator u of the cyclic group Fp×. Any crossed homomorphism z:Fp×Fp is determined by m=z(u), so it suffices to show that m is always principal.

givenL2L3choose
2.1

Because p>2, the generator u is not 1, so u10 in the field Fp. By [L2] it is therefore invertible. Choose aFp with (u1)a=m. Then the principal cocycle ggaa agrees with z on the generator u, hence everywhere by [L3]. Thus every crossed homomorphism is principal, and [L4] gives H1(Fp×,Fp)=0.

3.1

Steps 1.1 and 2.1 show that H1(Fp×,Fp)=0 for every prime p. Now [L1] shows that there is exactly one Fp-conjugacy class of complements to the translation subgroup in AGL(1,p).
