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.

Proof
Given: The multiplicative unit circle with the subspace topology, and on the published torus .
For every integer , : by [F1] and [F3] with [F2], , because is an integer multiple of the period of sine and cosine.
The image of lies in : for real , by [F1].
is surjective onto : if then by [F5], so and [F4] gives with ; putting and using [F1] and [F5] gives .
is closed under multiplication and inversion, and the two displayed identities hold: for , and by [F5], so ; also and by [F5].
is well defined on classes and is a group homomorphism: if then by [F6], so by [F1] and step 1.1; and by [F1] and [F6].
is injective: if , replace the classes by their unique representatives by [F6]; then and by [F1] and [F5], so the bijectivity in [F4] applied to gives , hence , hence .
is continuous as a map : the map is continuous on because , and are continuous by [F2] and [F8], hence is continuous into by [F8], and is continuous by [F5], [F8] and the distance identity read as - continuity of ; by step 2.1 is constant on the fibres of , so the quotient universal property [F7] makes continuous into , and its corestriction to the subspace is continuous by the subspace topology.
is compact: it is the image by step 1.3 of the compact space under the continuous map of step 3.2, and continuous images of compact spaces are compact by [F9].
is a homeomorphism onto : it is a continuous bijection by steps 2.1, 3.1, 1.3 and 3.2 whose domain is compact by [F6] and whose image lies in by step 1.2, and is Hausdorff as a subspace of the metric space by [F5] and [F9]; the compact-to-Hausdorff clause of [F9] applies to the corestriction.
Multiplication and inversion on are continuous, so is a topological abelian group: for , by [F5], so the open rectangle with is mapped into , which is continuity of multiplication at ; and by step 1.4 makes inversion distance preserving, hence continuous. Group axioms and commutativity are inherited from by steps 2.1, 3.1 and 1.3, and metrizability of is [F9] applied to the metric subspace .
