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 d≥1, equip Zd 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 d≥1, coordinatewise addition on Zd, and the discrete topology.

[F1]

The integers form a commutative ring and Group and abelian group: addition on Z is an abelian group operation; in coordinates, the same associativity, commutativity, zero, and inverse laws hold on Zd.

[F4]

Continuity of a map of topological spaces at a point and globally: a map is continuous when its open-set preimages are open.

[F5]

Topological group: multiplication and inversion are continuous: a group with a topology is a topological group when multiplication and inversion are continuous.

[F8]

The additive group of Z is abelian by [F1]. Coordinatewise addition on Zd is associative and commutative, has the zero vector as identity, and sends x to −x coordinatewise as its inverse. Hence Zd is an abelian group.

For distinct x,y∈Zd, the singleton sets {x} and {y} are disjoint open neighbourhoods by [F2], so the space is Hausdorff by [F6]. Each singleton {x} is finite and hence compact by [F7]; it is an open neighbourhood of x by [F2]. Thus the space is locally compact by [F8].

2.1F2F3F4F5step 1.1step 1.2given∎

The product topology on Zd×Zd is discrete: for each pair (x,y), the basic open set {x}×{y} is its singleton by [F2, F3]. Therefore coordinatewise addition Zd×Zd→Zd and inversion Zd→Zd 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 Zd is continuous by [F2, F4].
