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.
Formal delta substitution identity for module Jacobi
Statement
With the two-variable formal delta distribution and binomial expansions of Formal distributions and fields on a vector space,
where the first term expands in nonnegative powers of , the second in nonnegative powers of , and the right side in nonnegative powers of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Three independent formal variables and the formal delta and binomial-expansion conventions of Formal distributions and fields on a vector space.
Formal distributions and fields on a vector space: for every integer , and ; .
Proof
For , the coefficient of in the first term is the polynomial expanded in . In the second term the same coefficient is expanded in : the sign from cancels the sign in . These are the same polynomial, so their difference is zero. The right side has only nonnegative powers of .
Fix . The coefficient of in the first term is . The coefficient in the second delta term before its outer minus is , by expanding in nonnegative powers of . Thus the left-side coefficient is the sum of the first series and times . On the right, the coefficient is . Splitting at , using for the negative indices and , gives exactly the same two series. Coefficients of every integer power of agree, proving the identity.
