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 multiplicative unit circle is a compact metrizable topological abelian group

Statement

Let T:={z∈C:∣z∣=1} carry the subspace topology of C (Subspace topology: the traces of the open sets, its closed sets and its bases, the continuity of the inclusion, and the characteristic property of a map into a subspace, The Euclidean metric, convergence, Cauchy sequences, and continuity on the complex plane) and the multiplication of C, and let ε:R/Z→T, ε([t]):=exp⁡(2πit), for the published one-dimensional torus R/Z (The one-dimensional torus and its normalized Haar integral). Then T is a compact metrizable topological abelian group (Topological group: multiplication and inversion are continuous), ε is an isomorphism of topological groups, and ∣zw−z∣=∣w−1∣,∣z−1−w−1∣=∣z−w∣ for all z,w∈T.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

For all complex z,w, exp⁡(z+w)=exp⁡zexp⁡w, and for real x,y, exp⁡(x+iy)=ex(cos⁡y+isin⁡y) with ∣exp⁡(x+iy)∣=ex. The real exponential satisfies e0=1 (its defining series has constant term 1 and all other terms 0). (exp⁡(z+w)=exp⁡z exp⁡w, and the complex exponential extends the real exponential, exp⁡(x+iy)=ex(cos⁡y+isin⁡y), ∣exp⁡(x+iy)∣=ex, and eiπ+1=0, The real exponential function and the number e by a power series)

[F2]

sin⁡ and cos⁡ are differentiable on R, hence continuous, and sin⁡0=0, cos⁡0=1. (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, A function differentiable at c is continuous at c)

[F3]

sin⁡ and cos⁡ have period 2π: sin⁡(x+2π)=sin⁡x and cos⁡(x+2π)=cos⁡x for every real x. (The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi)

[F4]

t↦(cos⁡t,sin⁡t) is a bijection from [0,2π) onto the Euclidean unit circle S1={(a,b):a2+b2=1}. (t↦(cos⁡t,sin⁡t) is a bijection from [0,2π) onto the real unit circle)

[F5]

Φ:C→R2, Φ(a+bi)=(a,b), is a bijection compatible with addition and multiplication; dC(z,w)=∣z−w∣=∥Φ(z)−Φ(w)∥2. For all z,w∈C, zz‾=∣z∣2, ∣zw∣=∣z∣∣w∣ and ∣z+w∣≤∣z∣+∣w∣. Continuity of maps between subsets of C is continuity for the metric dC. (C is the real coordinate plane, with coordinate arithmetic, The Euclidean metric, convergence, Cauchy sequences, and continuity on the complex plane, Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the ε-δ form, Conjugation is an involutive real-field automorphism, zz‾=∣z∣2, and modulus is definite, multiplicative, and subadditive)

[F6]

The canonical projection q:R→R/Z is continuous and open, [s]=[t] exactly when s−t∈Z, every class has exactly one representative in [0,1), and R/Z is the quotient group of the additive group R by its subgroup Z, with [s]+[t]=[s+t]. Moreover R/Z is compact. (The one-dimensional torus and its normalized Haar integral, The quotient group G/N and coset product (gN)(hN)=ghN, R/Z is compact and path-connected)

[F7]

Quotient universal property: a continuous map g:R→W constant on the fibres of q factors uniquely as g=gˉ∘q with gˉ continuous. (For a quotient map q:X→Y, a map out of Y is continuous iff its composite with q is; a continuous map on X constant on the fibres of q factors uniquely through q; and a composite of quotient maps is a quotient map)

[F9]

Continuous images of compact spaces are compact; a continuous bijection from a compact space onto a Hausdorff space is a homeomorphism. A metric space is Hausdorff, and the metric topology of a metric subspace is its subspace topology. (A continuous image of a compact space is compact; a continuous real-valued map on a nonempty compact space attains a maximum and a minimum; and a continuous bijection from a compact space to a Hausdorff space is a homeomorphism, Distinct points of a metric space have disjoint balls around them, Isometry, isometric embedding, and the subspace metric on a subset)

[F10]

A topological group is a group whose multiplication and inversion are continuous for the product topology. (Topological group: multiplication and inversion are continuous)

Proof

Given: The multiplicative unit circle T⊆C with the subspace topology, and ε([t])=exp⁡(2πit) on the published torus R/Z.

1.1F1F2F3

For every integer k, exp⁡(2πik)=1: by [F1] and [F3] with [F2], exp⁡(2πik)=e0(cos⁡(2πk)+isin⁡(2πk))=cos⁡0+isin⁡0=1, because 2πk is an integer multiple of the period 2π of sine and cosine.

1.2F1

The image of ε lies in T: for real t, ∣exp⁡(2πit)∣=e0=1 by [F1].

1.3F1F4F5

ε is surjective onto T: if z=a+bi∈T then a2+b2=∣z∣2=1 by [F5], so (a,b)∈S1 and [F4] gives θ∈[0,2π) with (a,b)=(cos⁡θ,sin⁡θ); putting t:=θ/(2π)∈[0,1) and using [F1] and [F5] gives ε([t])=exp⁡(2πit)=cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ=a+bi=z.

1.4F5

T is closed under multiplication and inversion, and the two displayed identities hold: for z,w∈T, ∣zw∣=∣z∣∣w∣=1 and ∣z−1∣=∣z∣−1=1 by [F5], so zw,z−1∈T; also ∣zw−z∣=∣z∣∣w−1∣=∣w−1∣ and ∣z−1−w−1∣=∣w−z∣/(∣z∣∣w∣)=∣z−w∣ by [F5].

2.1step 1.1F1F6

ε is well defined on classes and is a group homomorphism: if [s]=[t] then s−t=k∈Z by [F6], so exp⁡(2πis)=exp⁡(2πit)exp⁡(2πik)=exp⁡(2πit) by [F1] and step 1.1; and ε([s]+[t])=exp⁡(2πi(s+t))=exp⁡(2πis)exp⁡(2πit)=ε([s])ε([t]) by [F1] and [F6].

3.1step 2.1F1F4F5F6

ε is injective: if ε([s])=ε([t]), replace the classes by their unique representatives s,t∈[0,1) by [F6]; then cos⁡(2πs)=cos⁡(2πt) and sin⁡(2πs)=sin⁡(2πt) by [F1] and [F5], so the bijectivity in [F4] applied to 2πs,2πt∈[0,2π) gives 2πs=2πt, hence s=t, hence [s]=[t].

3.2step 2.1step 1.2F2F5F7F8

ε is continuous as a map R/Z→C: the map g(t):=exp⁡(2πit) is continuous on R because t↦2πt, sin⁡ and cos⁡ are continuous by [F2] and [F8], hence t↦(cos⁡2πt,sin⁡2πt) is continuous into R2 by [F8], and g=Φ−1(cos⁡2π⋅,sin⁡2π⋅) is continuous by [F5], [F8] and the distance identity dC(z,w)=∥Φ(z)−Φ(w)∥2 read as ε-δ continuity of Φ−1; by step 2.1 g is constant on the fibres of q, so the quotient universal property [F7] makes ε continuous into C, and its corestriction to the subspace T is continuous by the subspace topology.

4.1step 1.3step 3.2F6F9

T is compact: it is the image ε(R/Z) by step 1.3 of the compact space R/Z under the continuous map of step 3.2, and continuous images of compact spaces are compact by [F9].

4.2step 1.2step 3.1step 1.3step 3.2F5F6F9

ε is a homeomorphism onto T: 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 T by step 1.2, and T is Hausdorff as a subspace of the metric space C by [F5] and [F9]; the compact-to-Hausdorff clause of [F9] applies to the corestriction.

5.1step 4.2step 1.4F5F9F10∎

Multiplication and inversion on T are continuous, so T is a topological abelian group: for z,z0,w,w0∈T, ∣zw−z0w0∣≤∣z−z0∣∣w∣+∣z0∣∣w−w0∣=∣z−z0∣+∣w−w0∣ by [F5], so the open rectangle (B(z0,δ)∩T)×(B(w0,δ)∩T) with δ=ε/2 is mapped into B(z0w0,ε)∩T, which is continuity of multiplication at (z0,w0); and ∣z−1−w−1∣=∣z−w∣ by step 1.4 makes inversion distance preserving, hence continuous. Group axioms and commutativity are inherited from C by steps 2.1, 3.1 and 1.3, and metrizability of T is [F9] applied to the metric subspace T⊆C.
