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.
Grothendieck needs only left exactness
Statement
Additive left exactness of and alone guarantees a strongly convergent spectral sequence .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: We refute the assertion over abelian groups; assume AC for the injective models below.
The Grothendieck theorem requires injective-image acyclicity; that hypothesis identifies the total target with the derived composite (Grothendieck spectral sequence, The total Cartan-Eilenberg complex computes the derived composite).
Supplied projective and injective Ext computations agree (Projective and injective constructions of Ext agree for supplied resolutions).
Under AC, divisible abelian groups are injective (Over a PID, injective modules are exactly divisible modules).
Refutation
Set and . Both functors are additive and left exact, since maps into a kernel are precisely maps killed by the next arrow. Evaluation at identifies with , so naturally. The complexes and are injective resolutions by F3: rational division proves divisibility, and the displayed kernels and images prove exactness.
The rank-one free resolution computes as the cohomology of , by F2. Hence is at and zero elsewhere, while is at and zero elsewhere. The proposed therefore has precisely two nonzero entries, at and . Every for has zero source or target, so both survive. In total degree two the finite filtration would force . But and the same length-one calculation gives , a contradiction.
The missing hypothesis really fails: is injective, , and . This is exactly the acyclicity used in F1's target comparison. Thus the counterexample retains explicit resolution existence and isolates the failure of injective-image acyclicity. AC was used only to license divisibility as injectivity; the displayed finite Ext calculations and failure of the conclusion are algebraic.

Dependency tree · two levels
26 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.
