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.

A comparison isomorphism propagates over one skeleton stage

Statement

Let η:hk be an existing morphism of ordinary theories, natural on CW pairs and commuting with connecting maps. For a CW skeleton stage Fr1Fr, if ηq(Fr1) and ηq(Fr,Fr1) are isomorphisms for every q, then ηq(Fr) is an isomorphism for every q.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement above.

[F1]

For ordinary theories h,k as in def-unreduced-homology-theory-on-cw-pairs, a morphism η:hk consists of homomorphisms ηn(X,A):hn(X,A)kn(X,A), natural for all maps of CW pairs and all nZ, satisfying kηn=ηn1h. For a specified homomorphism u:h0()k0(), the morphism is coefficient-normalized by u if η0()=u. A comparison equivalence has every component invertible and is normalized by a specified coefficient isomorphism. Neither the existence nor uniqueness of such an extension is part of this definition. (Coefficient normalized morphism of ordinary homology theories)

[F2]

For a CW pair (X,A) and an ordinary theory h with coefficient G, put F1=A and Fr=AXr for r0. Set Crh(X,A)=hr(Fr,Fr1)(r0),Crh=0(r<0). Each Crh is the direct sum of copies of G indexed by the relative r-cells. Define d0=0 and for r1 let dr be the triple boundary to hr1(Fr1,A) followed by its map to hr1(Fr1,Fr2). Then dr1dr=0, naturally for cellular maps of CW pairs. (Any ordinary homology theory has a cellular chain complex on a cw pair)

[F3]

Let An1AnAn+1An+2An+3 and Bn1BnBn+1Bn+2Bn+3 be long exact sequences in an abelian category, together with a morphism of these sequences. If the four comparison maps at An1,An,An+2,An+3 are isomorphisms, then the comparison map An+1Bn+1 is an isomorphism. (Five lemma for a morphism of long exact sequences)

Proof

1.1

F1 means that η gives a commuting morphism of the pair long exact sequences. The skeletal pair of F2 has the five consecutive terms hq+1(Fr,Fr1)hq(Fr1)hq(Fr)hq(Fr,Fr1)hq1(Fr1), and the analogous row for k.

F1F2
2.1

The four comparison homomorphisms surrounding the middle term are isomorphisms by the stated hypotheses. Apply F3 to these five terms to conclude that the already specified middle homomorphism ηq(Fr) is an isomorphism. Since q was arbitrary this proves the result in all degrees, even at the empty bottom skeleton. This argument propagates invertibility; it does not construct η.
