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.

Product-action wreath products are primitive under the standard hypotheses

Statement

Let HSym(Δ) be primitive but not regular, let KS be transitive with 2, and let HK act on Δ in its standard product action. Then this action is primitive.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A primitive nonregular action of H on Δ, a transitive action of K on {1,,} with 2, and the induced product action of HK on Δ.

[A1]

In the standard product action, the base group H acts coordinatewise and the top group K permutes the coordinates transitively.

[A2]

In a faithful primitive nonregular action, distinct points have distinct stabilizers. Indeed, equality of point stabilizers is an invariant equivalence relation; primitivity makes its classes singletons unless every stabilizer is trivial, which is the regular case.

Proof

1.1

Let BΔ be a block containing distinct points x and y, and choose a coordinate i with xiyi. By [A2], some hHxi moves yi. Let aH act as h in coordinate i and trivially elsewhere. Then a fixes x, so aBB and the block property gives aB=B. Hence y,ayB are distinct and differ in exactly coordinate i.

2.1

Fixing the other coordinates, the set of possible entries in coordinate i among points of B is a block for H. It contains the two distinct entries from step 1.1, so primitivity of H makes it all of Δ. Thus B contains the entire i-coordinate fibre through y.

3.1

The stabilizer in HK of any point of Δ induces the transitive group K on the coordinates: a coordinate permutation can be followed by coordinatewise elements of the transitive group H to restore the point. Applying these point-stabilizer elements to the fibre in step 2.1 gives a full fibre in every coordinate. Independent coordinate changes then show that B=Δ. Hence every block is a singleton or the whole set, so the product action is primitive.
