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.

Scaling maps embed the multiplicative group of nonzero reals into the quasi-isometry group of $Z$

Example

Scaling maps embed the multiplicative group of nonzero reals into the quasi-isometry group of $Z$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects and hypotheses in the Example.

[F1]

The quasi-isometry group of a metric space is the set of quasi-isometries of it modulo bounded distance (The quasi-isometry group of a metric space).

[L1]

The quasi-isometry group is a group under composition, and a quasi-isometry induces an isomorphism between the quasi-isometry groups of its source and target (Quasi-isometries modulo bounded distance form a group, and a quasi-isometry induces an isomorphism of these groups).

[L2]

A subset is coarsely dense when every point of the space is within a fixed distance of it, and a quasi-isometry is a coarse Lipschitz map admitting a coarse Lipschitz quasi-inverse (Coarsely dense subsets, quasi-inverses and quasi-isometries).

[L3]

It is written $⌊ x ⌋$ and called the integer part, or floor, of $x$ . (Integer part: for every real $x$ there is exactly one integer $m$ with $m \leq x < m + 1$ ).

[L4]

Define $d_{R} : R \times R \to R$ by $d_{R} (x, y) : = ∣ x - y ∣$ . (The absolute value makes $R$ a metric space: $d (x, y) = ∣ x - y ∣$ is a metric, its open balls are the intervals $(x - r, x + r)$ , and it is unbounded).

[L5]

Group isomorphisms, automorphisms and the set $Aut (G)$ . (Group isomorphisms, automorphisms and the set $Aut (G)$ ).

1.1

For $α \neq 0$ let $q_{α} (n) = ⌊ α n ⌋$ . The estimate $∣ ⌊ u ⌋ - ⌊ v ⌋ ∣ \leq ∣ u - v ∣ + 1$ shows $q_{α}$ is coarse Lipschitz, and $q_{1 / α}$ is a quasi-inverse because $∣ q_{α} (q_{1 / α} (n)) - n ∣ < ∣ α ∣ + 1 and ∣ q_{1 / α} (q_{α} (n)) - n ∣ < ∣ 1 / α ∣ + 1$ for every integer $n$ . So $q_{α}$ is a quasi-isometry of $Z$ .

F1L2L3L4

2.1

Composing the maps for $α$ and $β$ agrees with the map for $α β$ up to an error of at most $∣ α ∣ + 1$ , so the assignment $α \mapsto [q_{α}]$ is a homomorphism on classes.

L3step 1.1

3.1

For $α \neq β$ the difference $∣ ⌊ α n ⌋ - ⌊ β n ⌋ ∣$ is unbounded, so the homomorphism is injective.

Dependency tree · two levels

36 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.
