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.
Filling constants give a uniform slimness bound
Statement
Assume AC. For every there exists a finite such that every finite presentation with relator lengths at most and for every null word has -slim triangles in its unit-edge metric Cayley realization. More generally, a countable family of nonempty geodesic spaces with a common nonnegative nondecreasing majorant for , satisfying as , has a common finite slimness bound. The claim is existence, without an explicit numerical formula for .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Assume AC; fix , or the countable family and function in the general assertion.
The fixed constants give every such Cayley realization the same nonnegative nondecreasing sublinear function . (Linear algebraic relator area implies slim Cayley triangles).
The point wedge is geodesic, preserves the common minsize bound, and isometrically embeds all factors and their chosen triangles. (Point wedges preserve common triangle minsize bounds).
Under AC any geodesic space with sublinear has a finite slimness bound. (Sublinear triangle minsize implies hyperbolicity).
AC selects witnesses and basepoints from the nonempty sets used below. (The Axiom of Choice).
Proof
First take the given countable family. Choose a basepoint in each nonempty space and form its wedge. F2 gives , so . F3 applies to this geodesic wedge and yields a finite number bounding every triangle's slimness there. Each chosen factor triangle has precisely its original metric on the union of its sides, since the factor embeds isometrically. Distances from a side point to the union of the other two sides are therefore unchanged. The same works in every factor. An empty family satisfies the conclusion with .
For the presentation assertion suppose no common bound exists. Finite generating alphabets can be relabelled by , and finite sets of finite words over these alphabets form a set. Take each presented group as the quotient of the corresponding set of words and each edge realization using copies of . Thus these spaces and the collections of their interval-parameterized triangles are sets, so the following choices are legitimate set-indexed applications of AC. For each positive integer , failure of a common bound supplies one such presentation and a chosen triangle whose slimness exceeds ; choose them, and point each space at its identity vertex. Relabelling preserves word lengths, area and distances.
All these chosen spaces have the identical function by F1. Its nonnegativity, monotonicity and sublinearity were established there with constants depending only on the fixed . Apply step 1.1 to this countable family. It gives a finite bounding the selected triangle in each factor. A positive integer contradicts the choice of a triangle with slimness greater than . Therefore a common finite bound exists for the entire class at these ; denote one by . If no presentations satisfy the hypotheses, zero is a bound. This proves both assertions.
