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.

G/H need not be a quotient Lie group

False statement

Assume ACω. For every closed subgroup H of a Lie group G, the homogeneous space G/H has a Lie-group structure making the coset map q:GG/H a homomorphism.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, G=S3 with its discrete zero-dimensional Lie-group structure, and H={e,(12)} with its discrete subgroup structure.

[A1]

Under ACω, a closed subgroup gives a smooth homogeneous space G/H. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), Quotient manifold by a closed Lie subgroup.

[F1]

A closed normal subgroup does give a quotient Lie group; normality is the extra hypothesis in the quotient-group theorem. Quotient by a closed normal subgroup is a Lie group.

Refutation

Proof technique: contradiction from the kernel of the proposed quotient homomorphism.

1.1

Every finite discrete group is a zero-dimensional Lie group: singleton charts take values in R0, and every map between discrete manifolds is smooth. Thus G is a Lie group and its subgroup H is closed. By [A1], the three-element left-coset space G/H has its quotient smooth-manifold structure.

1.2

The subgroup H is not normal. Indeed, conjugating its nonidentity element by the 3-cycle gives (123)(12)(123)1=(23)H.

2.1

Suppose a group law on this set G/H made the usual coset map q(g)=gH a group homomorphism. Its kernel would be exactly H, because q(g)=H if and only if gH=H, equivalently gH. Every homomorphism kernel is normal: if h is in the kernel, then q(ghg1)=q(g)eq(g)1=e. Hence H would be normal, contradicting step 1.2.

3.1

Therefore the smooth homogeneous space S3/H admits no group structure for which the coset map is a homomorphism. The quotient theorem [F1] is sharp: closedness supplies the manifold, whereas normality is necessary for the quotient group law. This finite witness has neither endpoint nor positive-dimensional issue, and its algebraic obstruction is choice-free; ACω is used only to invoke the library's general homogeneous-space supplier [A1].
