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.

Projective and injective modules coincide over every ring

Statement

Projective and injective modules coincide over every ring.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The finite group algebra setting of the preceding corollary.

[L1]

Projective and injective coincide here only for finite-dimensional modules over the symmetric group algebra k[G] (Over a finite group algebra in defining characteristic, finite-dimensional projective and injective modules coincide).

Refutation

technique · direct
1.1

The corollary [L1] is explicitly a special finite-dimensional group-algebra statement.

L1given
2.1

Removing those hypotheses widens the claim far beyond what was proved. Standard counterexamples over rings such as Z show that injective and projective need not agree. Hence the universal statement is false.

Therefore projective and injective modules do not coincide over every ring.

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
