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.
FALSE: the left and right internal homs agree in every monoidal category
Statement
The left and right internal homs agree in every monoidal category.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Let be the ring of upper-triangular matrices over a field , let , and work in the monoidal category of -bimodules with tensor product . Set and .
Left and right internal homs are defined separately as right adjoints to and (Left-closed, right-closed, and biclosed monoidal categories).
An -bimodule has commuting left and right actions, and balanced pairings induce unique maps from tensor products (-bimodules and commuting left and right scalar actions, Universal property of the tensor product for balanced maps into abelian groups).
Refutation
For bimodules , a bimodule map corresponds to the bimodule map from to , where . The inverse is evaluation, ; balancing and the two bimodule actions make both constructions well defined by [L2]. Thus is right adjoint to . Similarly, maps correspond to maps , with . Hence [L1] identifies these as the right and left internal homs respectively.
A right -linear map is determined by , and it is well defined exactly when . Thus .
A left -linear map is determined by , and it is well defined exactly when . Thus .
These two bimodules are not isomorphic: every element of is annihilated on the left by , while in . By [L1], the left and right internal homs therefore need not agree.
Hence the statement is false.

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
