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 n≥0 and Vn=F2Bn; for every r≥n+2 the coordinate map Dr,n:πr+n(Tr)→Vn pairing sphere classes with the stable classes mr,b, b∈Bn; and the prespectrum structure maps βr:S1∧Tr→Tr+1.

[F1]

The degreewise constancy lemma gives σ−1βr∗mr+1,b=mr,b for the inverse-limit element mb (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 Dr,n an isomorphism on the tail (Finite Thom classifying detector map, The finite Thom detector is a homotopy isomorphism through 2r−2).

[F3]

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).

1.1givenF1

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 Dr+1,nbr,n=Dr,n coordinate by coordinate, proving the claimed suspension compatibility.
