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 R be the ring of upper-triangular 2×2 matrices over a field k, let N=ke12R, and work in the monoidal category of R-bimodules with tensor product R. Set X:=R/N and Y:=R.

[L1]

Left and right internal homs are defined separately as right adjoints to X and X (Left-closed, right-closed, and biclosed monoidal categories).

[L2]

An (R,R)-bimodule has commuting left and right actions, and balanced pairings induce unique maps from tensor products ((S,R)-bimodules and commuting left and right scalar actions, Universal property of the tensor product for balanced maps into abelian groups).

1.1

For bimodules A,X,Y, a bimodule map h:ARXY corresponds to the bimodule map a(xh(ax)) from A to HomR(X,Y), where (rφs)(x)=rφ(sx). The inverse is evaluation, (a,x)φa(x); balancing and the two bimodule actions make both constructions well defined by [L2]. Thus HomR(X,) is right adjoint to RX. Similarly, maps XRAY correspond to maps AHomR(X,Y), with (rψs)(x)=ψ(xr)s. Hence [L1] identifies these as the right and left internal homs respectively.

A right R-linear map f:R/NR is determined by a:=f(1+N), and it is well defined exactly when aN=0. Thus [X,Y]ann(N)={0b0c:b,ck}.

A left R-linear map g:R/NR is determined by b:=g(1+N), and it is well defined exactly when Nb=0. Thus X,Yannr(N)={ab00:a,bk}.

3.1

These two bimodules are not isomorphic: every element of annr(N) is annihilated on the left by e22, while e22e22=e220 in ann(N). By [L1], the left and right internal homs therefore need not agree.

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.
