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 kernel of transgression is the image of restriction
Statement
Assume AC. With the displayed crossed-map and transgression conventions, Cohomology is the normalized bar theory, with its inherited derived interpretation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, the extension, A and [d] in the invariant H1 group.
Transgression is the extension with kernel (Low-degree transgression for a group extension).
Restriction is defined into invariant H1 and its image has the stated crossed-map interpretation (Degree-one inflation–restriction is exact).
The class of an extension is zero if and only if it has a homomorphic section (Bar two-cocycles classify abelian-kernel extensions).
Proof
If d is the restriction of a global crossed map c, its graph is a subgroup of and . The latter is normal in C because N is normal in G. Thus , and is a subgroup of meeting the kernel trivially and mapping onto Q. It gives a homomorphic section. Therefore Tra[d]=0. If only the cohomology classes agree, replace the restriction by its principal-equivalent representative; F1 says Tra is unchanged.
Conversely if Tra[d]=0, let be the image of a splitting, supplied by F3. Take its full inverse image C in . It contains . It meets A trivially: an element of lies in by F1 and has class in , so lies in . The projection is onto: given g, select one member of C whose projection has quotient pi(g), then multiply it by the unique element of correcting its projection to g. This is an elementwise existence proof, not a family of selections. Hence is an isomorphism and its inverse is the graph of a uniquely defined function c:G to A. The subgroup law gives , and gives . Thus [d] is in the restriction image.

10 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
