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.

Mapping cone is functorial on the arrow category of complexes

Statement

The assignment f⟼Cone⁡(f),(a,b)⟼Cone⁡(a,b) defines a functor from the arrow category of The category of chain complexes to the category of chain complexes.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Chain maps and morphisms of chain maps in the arrow category.

[L1]

Every morphism of chain maps induces a chain map of cones (A morphism of chain maps induces a chain map of cones).

[L2]

A morphism of chain maps is a commuting square in the category of chain complexes (A morphism of chain maps).

Proof

1.1L1L2givenalgebra

By [L1], every arrow-category morphism (a,b) is sent to the block map (y,x)↦(b(y),a(x)) on cones, so objects and morphisms are assigned.

2.1L2step 1.1algebra∎

If (a,b) and (a′,b′) are composable, then the block formula shows Cone⁡(a′,b′)Cone⁡(a,b)=Cone⁡(a′a,b′b), and identity squares give identity block maps. Thus the assignment preserves composition and identities, hence is a functor.

Dependency tree · two levels

7 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.
