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.
Stable Thom detector coordinates commute with suspension
Statement
Assume AC. Fix n≥0 and V_n=F₂^{B_n}. For every r≥n+2 let D_{r,n}:π_{r+n}(T_r)→V_n pair a sphere class with the rank-r stable-coordinate classes m_{r,b}, b∈B_n. If β_r:S¹∧T_r→T_{r+1} is the prespectrum structure map, then D_{r+1,n}∘(β_r)*=D{r,n} under suspension of representatives.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC; a stable degree and ; for every the coordinate map pairing sphere classes with the stable classes , ; and the prespectrum structure maps .
The degreewise constancy lemma gives for the inverse-limit element (Stable universal Thom cohomology is eventually constant in every degree, Degreewise mod-two cohomology of the universal real Thom prespectrum, Stable Steenrod squares on universal Thom cohomology); the detector coordinates are the same classes, and the finite-range theorem makes an isomorphism on the tail (Finite Thom classifying detector map, The finite Thom detector is a homotopy isomorphism through 2r−2).
The Kronecker pairing is natural in both variables and independent of cocycle and cycle representatives (Kronecker evaluation pairing, The kronecker pairing is independent of cocycle and cycle representatives); the cohomology suspension of a class is paired with the suspension of a cycle through the external cross product, whose mod-two fundamental classes multiply without sign (Additive singular cohomology cross product, The homology cross product for tensor complexes, The Kunneth cross-product map is well defined and natural, The singular chain cross product on generators, The singular chain cross product satisfies the boundary formula, Singular chain cross products are natural, Cohomological Kunneth cross product is a ring isomorphism).
The prespectrum structure maps are the fixed-coordinate maps of the definition (The Thom prespectrum of the universal real and oriented bundles) and AC fixes the global basis (The Axiom of Choice).
Proof
Fix n≥0 and the degree-n part B_n of the single global basis fixed in the detector definition. For every r≥n+2, define D_{r,n}:π_{r+n}(T_r)→V_n, V_n=F₂^{B_n}, by pairing with the stable coordinates m_{r,b}, b∈B_n. The finite-range theorem says D_{r,n} is an isomorphism. This is the same map as the π_{r+n} map of f_r after identifying π_{r+n}(P_r) with V_n by its normalized Eilenberg–Mac Lane fundamental classes.
Let β_r:S¹∧T_r→T_{r+1} be the prespectrum structure map, and let b_{r,n} be its induced stabilization map on π_{r+n}. Since m_b is an inverse-limit element, its coordinates satisfy σ⁻¹β_r^* m_{r+1,b}=m_{r,b}. For a based representative α:S^{r+n}→T_r, naturality of the Kronecker pairing gives ⟨m_{r+1,b}, (β_r∘(1∧α))*[S¹∧S^{r+n}]{F₂}⟩ =⟨β_r^* m_{r+1,b}, (1∧α)*[S¹∧S^{r+n}]{F₂}⟩ =⟨m_{r,b}, α_*[S^{r+n}]{F₂}⟩. All sphere classes in these pairings are mod-two fundamental classes, not unreduced integral classes. For the second equality, represent the cohomology suspension of m{r,b} by its external product with the degree-one generator of S¹. Under S¹∧S^{r+n}≅S^{r+n+1}, the mod-two sphere fundamental class is the external product of the two mod-two fundamental classes. Evaluation of external products on product chains is the product of the two evaluations; the S¹ factor evaluates to 1. Naturality of the Kronecker pairing then gives exactly the displayed equality. These are the published suspension, external-product/Künneth, and Kronecker naturality interfaces; coefficients are F₂, so there is no sign ambiguity. Thus coordinate by coordinate, proving the claimed suspension compatibility.
