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.

‡ Rests on 3 statements not proved in this library, by way of the results it cites. This item cites no such statement directly; it depends on results that do. The unproved premises it inherits are ‡ Cohen's first model: an infinite Dedekind-finite set of reals, ‡ Sierpiński 1947: the generalised continuum hypothesis implies the Axiom of Choice and ‡ The continuum hypothesis and its generalisation are independent of ZFC. Each is recorded with a citation to the literature and is not established here, because the track that would prove it has not yet been developed in this library. Everything else in this proof is proved here.

Weak and global dimension for a field and the integers

Example

For a field k, both dimensions are 0; for Z, both weak and global dimension are 1.

Verification

Given: the module categories over k and over Z.

1.1

Every vector space is free and hence projective, so every k-module has projective and flat dimension 0.

given
2.1

Every abelian group has a length-one free resolution, giving both dimensions of Z at most 1.

step 1.1algebra
3.1

The nonzero group Tor⁡1Z(Z/2,Z/2) gives the lower bound 1 for weak dimension, and nonzero Ext⁡1 gives the global lower bound.

Dependency tree · two levels

11 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.
