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.
Collapse solves all extension problems
Statement
It is false that collapse solves all extension problems of a spectral sequence.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The degree-zero stalk complex on the filtered group in [F1].
The increasing filtration has two graded pieces, while its underlying group is not their direct sum: Isomorphic associated graded objects need not give isomorphic filtered objects.
A stalk complex has a single nonzero chain object and zero differential: Zero complex and stalk complex.
The page of a filtered complex is the stated filtered numerator/denominator quotient: R page of the spectral sequence of a filtered complex.
The page differential is induced by the chain differential: The filtered differential induces d r on the r page.
Collapse at a page means that every differential on that and all later pages is zero: Collapse at a page.
A bounded filtered complex abuts to its image-filtered homology: Bounded filtered complex spectral sequence abuts to filtered homology.
Solving the extension problem means reconstructing the filtered abutment, with splitting requiring sections of its quotient extensions: Extension problem of a convergent spectral sequence.
Refutation
Put the filtered group of [F1] in chain degree zero, using [F2]. Since the chain differential is zero, [F3] gives and zero elsewhere for every . Thus its only nonzero page objects are the two pieces at . By [F4] every page differential is induced by the zero map, so the sequence collapses from page zero by [F5]. Its filtration is finite, and [F6] identifies its filtered abutment with .
The projection has fiber over . Each element of this fiber doubles to , so neither can be the image of under an additive section from . Hence the quotient extension has no section in the sense of [F7]. The extension problem remains unsolved by the stable pieces even though the sequence has already collapsed.
