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 a≥0, the Brauer algebra Ba(δ) over any commutative unital ring R is free of rank (2a−1)!!, with (−1)!!=1. The partition algebra Pa(δ) is free of rank Bell⁡(2a), where Bell⁡(j) denotes the number of set partitions of a j-element set.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Typed Brauer and partition diagram categories: Ba(δ) has one free basis vector per perfect matching of 2a ordered vertices; Pa(δ) has one per set partition of those vertices.

Proof

1.1givenF1algebra

Let M2a be the number of perfect matchings of 2a labels. For a=0 the empty matching gives M0=1. For a≥1, the first label can be paired with any of the remaining 2a−1 labels, and deleting that pair leaves an arbitrary matching of 2a−2 labels. Hence M2a=(2a−1)M2a−2, and induction gives M2a=(2a−1)(2a−3)⋯1=(2a−1)!!.

2.1F1algebra∎

By [F1], partition diagrams are in bijection with set partitions of the 2a boundary labels. Their number is Bell⁡(2a) 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.
