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 integer lattice is a discrete locally compact abelian group
Statement
For every integer , equip with coordinatewise addition and its discrete topology. Then it is a locally compact Hausdorff abelian (topological) group. Every function from this discrete space to a topological space is continuous.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An integer , coordinatewise addition on , and the discrete topology.
The integers form a commutative ring and Group and abelian group: addition on is an abelian group operation; in coordinates, the same associativity, commutativity, zero, and inverse laws hold on .
The discrete, indiscrete, cofinite, cocountable, particular-point and Sierpinski topologies: in the discrete topology every subset is open.
The product set of functions choosing a point in each factor, the projections, the box topology, and the product topology as the initial topology of the projections; the empty product is a one-point space: products have the product topology, whose basic open sets restrict coordinates by open subsets.
Continuity of a map of topological spaces at a point and globally: a map is continuous when its open-set preimages are open.
Topological group: multiplication and inversion are continuous: a group with a topology is a topological group when multiplication and inversion are continuous.
Hausdorff space: distinct points have disjoint open neighbourhoods; every metrizable space is Hausdorff and the indiscrete topology on two points is not: distinct points must have disjoint open neighbourhoods to be Hausdorff.
Open cover, subcover, and compact topological space; a compact subset is a subspace that is compact in its own right: every finite topological space, in particular a singleton, is compact.
Locally compact topological space: every point has a compact neighbourhood; and what this says in a metric space: a space is locally compact when each point has a compact neighbourhood.
Proof
The additive group of is abelian by [F1]. Coordinatewise addition on is associative and commutative, has the zero vector as identity, and sends to coordinatewise as its inverse. Hence is an abelian group.
For distinct , the singleton sets and are disjoint open neighbourhoods by [F2], so the space is Hausdorff by [F6]. Each singleton is finite and hence compact by [F7]; it is an open neighbourhood of by [F2]. Thus the space is locally compact by [F8].
The product topology on is discrete: for each pair , the basic open set is its singleton by [F2, F3]. Therefore coordinatewise addition and inversion are continuous by [F4]. By [F5] the group is a topological group, and with step 1.2 it is locally compact Hausdorff abelian. Every map from is continuous by [F2, F4].

53 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.
