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.

Homotopy-cardinality pushforward is functorial

Statement

For maps f:X→Y and g:Y→Z of locally finite homotopy types,

(g∘f)!=g!∘f!:Qc(X)⟶Qc(Z).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Locally finite homotopy types X,Y,Z, maps f:X→Y, g:Y→Z, and α∈Qc(X).

[F1]

The pushforward at a component is the component sum with ratio weight

rf(x,y):=∏i>0∣πi(X,x)∣(−1)i∣πi(Y,y)∣(−1)i+1

for each x mapping to y (Homotopy-fiber weights reduce to componentwise ratios).

Proof

1.1F1algebra

If x∈π0(X) maps to y∈π0(Y) and y maps to z∈π0(Z), then [F1] gives rf(x,y)rg(y,z)=rg∘f(x,z), because the exponents of every ∣πi(Y,y)∣ sum to zero.

2.1F1step 1.1∎

Evaluate g!f!α at z. Its finite sum is over pairs (x,y) with f(x)=y and g(y)=z; each x determines the unique component y=f(x). By step 1.1 its weight is rg∘f(x,z), exactly the component formula for (g∘f)!α(z) from [F1]. Hence the two pushforwards agree at every component.

Dependency tree · two levels

5 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.
