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.
Module homomorphisms induce tensor-product homomorphisms functorially
Statement
Let be a homomorphism of right -modules and a homomorphism of left -modules. There is a unique group homomorphism
such that . These maps satisfy
and
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Homomorphisms of right -modules and of left -modules.
A balanced map into an abelian group extends uniquely to a group homomorphism (Universal property of the tensor product for balanced maps into abelian groups).
A module homomorphism preserves addition and the relevant scalar action (Module homomorphism and isomorphism, kernel, image and cokernel).
Proof
The pairing is additive in both variables by [L2], and , so it is balanced.
By [L1] the pairing of step 1.1 induces a unique homomorphism with the stated formula.
The maps and agree on every elementary tensor, so uniqueness in [L1] makes them equal.
The two sides of the composition formula both send to , so uniqueness in [L1] makes them equal.
Steps 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2 prove existence, uniqueness, identity preservation, and composition preservation.
