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.

FALSE: the homology functor is exact on short exact sequences of complexes

Statement

The homology functor is exact on short exact sequences of complexes.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The canonical cone sequence of the identity map on Z[0].

[A1]

The statement refuted is: the homology functor is exact on short exact sequences of complexes.

[L1]

Short exact sequences of complexes give long exact homology sequences with a connecting morphism (The long exact sequence in homology).

[L2]

For the cone sequence of the identity map, the connecting morphism is the shifted identity up to sign, hence nonzero (The cone connecting map agrees with the shifted identity up to the declared sign).

Refutation

technique · direct
1.1

If homology were exact in the short sense claimed in [A1], then the connecting morphism in every long exact sequence from [L1] would be zero.

A1L1givenalgebra
2.1

But [L2] gives a short exact sequence of complexes whose connecting morphism is nonzero. So the homology functor is not exact on short exact sequences of complexes; instead it participates in the long exact sequence of [L1]. Therefore [A1] is false.
