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.
Ranks of the Brauer and partition diagram bases
Statement
For , the Brauer algebra over any commutative unital ring is free of rank , with . The partition algebra is free of rank , where denotes the number of set partitions of a -element set.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The diagram bases in Typed Brauer and partition diagram categories.
Typed Brauer and partition diagram categories: has one free basis vector per perfect matching of ordered vertices; has one per set partition of those vertices.
Proof
Let be the number of perfect matchings of labels. For the empty matching gives . For , the first label can be paired with any of the remaining labels, and deleting that pair leaves an arbitrary matching of labels. Hence , and induction gives .
By [F1], partition diagrams are in bijection with set partitions of the boundary labels. Their number is by the definition in the Statement, and the module is free on precisely that set.

1 result within one dependency step 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.
