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.

The ideal generated by homogeneous elements of a graded algebra is graded

Statement

Let A=A0ˉ⊕A1ˉ be a unital associative superalgebra over C, and let S be a set of homogeneous elements of A. The two-sided ideal I=(S) generated by S is graded, meaning I=(I∩A0ˉ)⊕(I∩A1ˉ). Consequently the quotient A/I inherits a Z/2-grading compatible with multiplication.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A unital associative superalgebra A=A0ˉ⊕A1ˉ and a set S of homogeneous elements.

[F1]

Associative superalgebra over the complex numbers: multiplication is associative and sends AiˉAjˉ into Ai+j‾; the unit belongs to A0ˉ.

[F2]

Left, right and two-sided ideals: a two-sided ideal is an additive subgroup stable under left and right multiplication by every element of the ring.

[F3]

The ideal generated by a subset and principal ideals and Ideal criteria and intersections of ideals: the generated ideal is the intersection of the nonempty family of all two-sided ideals containing S, and every such intersection is a two-sided ideal.

Proof

1.1givenF1F2F3construct

Let J consist of all finite sums ∑k=1makskbk, with ak,bk∈A and sk∈S, including the empty sum 0. Concatenating sums and replacing ak by −ak show that J is an additive subgroup; multiplying a sum on the left or right absorbs that factor into ak or bk, using associativity from [F1], so [F2] makes J a two-sided ideal. It contains every s∈S as 1s1. Every two-sided ideal containing S contains each akskbk and every such finite sum. Thus J is the smallest two-sided ideal containing S, and [F3] gives I=J.

2.1F1step 1.1algebra∎

For each summand asb in a finite expression defining J, write a=a0ˉ+a1ˉ and b=b0ˉ+b1ˉ. Then asb=∑i,j∈{0,1}aiˉsbjˉ; each term is homogeneous by [F1] and lies in J. Therefore every homogeneous component of every element of J lies in J, proving I=(I∩A0ˉ)⊕(I∩A1ˉ). Every coset in A/I decomposes into its even and odd component classes; if a class lies in their intersection, its two homogeneous representatives differ by an element of the graded ideal I, so both representatives lie in I and the class is zero. The quotient grading is direct, and the product respects it because the product in A does.
