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 quotient by a modular partition is isomorphic to the subgraph induced by any set meeting each part exactly once

Statement

Let P be a modular partition of a finite simple graph G and let TV(G) meet every part of P in exactly one vertex. Then G[T]G/P. Such a set T exists, so the quotient is isomorphic to an induced subgraph of G.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A modular partition P of a finite simple graph G, and a set TV(G) with MT=1 for every MP.

[F1]

A modular partition of G is a set of nonempty, pairwise disjoint modules of G whose union is V(G); the quotient G/P has vertex set P, with distinct parts M,N adjacent exactly when (M,N) is a complete pair in G; and P is finite (Modular partitions and the quotient graph they define, A finite simple graph is a finite vertex set together with a set of two-element vertex subsets).

[L1]

Two disjoint nonempty modules of G form a complete or an anticomplete pair, and not both (Two disjoint nonempty modules form a complete or an anticomplete pair).

[F2]

A disjoint pair is complete when every cross pair is an edge, anticomplete when no cross pair is an edge, and pure when it is complete or anticomplete (Edges between disjoint vertex sets; complete, anticomplete, pure and mixed pairs).

[F3]

G[T]=(T,E(G)[T]2), so two vertices of T are adjacent in G[T] exactly when they are adjacent in G (Subgraphs, induced subgraphs and spanning subgraphs).

[F4]

A graph isomorphism is a bijection φ:VW such that, for all distinct u,vV, {u,v}E if and only if {φ(u),φ(v)}F (Graph isomorphisms, automorphisms and graph complements).

[F5]

M is a module of G when the pair ({v},M) is pure for every vV(G)M (Modules of a graph, and the trivial modules).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Define φ:PT by letting φ(M) be the unique vertex of MT. This is injective, because distinct parts are disjoint and φ(M)M; and it is surjective, because every tT lies in exactly one part M, and then tMT, so t=φ(M).

F1givenconstruct
1.2

Let M,NP be distinct. The pair (M,N) is complete or anticomplete and not both, so if it is complete then φ(M)φ(N)E(G), and if it is anticomplete then φ(M)φ(N)E(G).

L1F2F5given
2.1

By the definition of the quotient, {M,N}E(G/P) says exactly that (M,N) is complete, so step 1.2 gives {M,N}E(G/P) if and only if {φ(M),φ(N)}E(G); and since φ(M),φ(N)T, that is the same as {φ(M),φ(N)}E(G[T]).

step 1.2F1F3
3.1

So φ is a bijection from V(G/P)=P onto T=V(G[T]) that preserves and reflects adjacency, hence an isomorphism G/PG[T].

step 1.1step 2.1F4
4.1

A set T as in the Statement exists: the parts are nonempty and there are finitely many of them, so selecting one vertex from each is a choice from a finite family of nonempty sets and needs no further principle. Hence the quotient is isomorphic to an induced subgraph of G.
