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 Weyl group is finite and faithful
Statement
Let be a reduced crystallographic root system. Then its Weyl group is finite, and the action of on by restriction is faithful: the homomorphism that sends to its restriction to is injective.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A reduced crystallographic root system in a finite-dimensional real inner product space , with reflections and Weyl group .
is finite, spans , and for all (Reduced crystallographic Euclidean root system).
The reflection is orthogonal, , and for (Weyl group, Coroot and dual root system).
is the subgroup of generated by the reflections (Weyl group).
Proof
Each generator lies in and satisfies by [L1]. Consequently every , being a finite product of generators and their inverses, restricts to a bijection .
The assignment , , is a group homomorphism: the restriction of a composition of linear maps is the composition of the restrictions. Hence is a subgroup of the finite group .
If then for every ; since spans and is linear, . Thus : the restriction action on the finite set is faithful, and identifies with the finite subgroup . In particular is finite and .

Dependency tree · two levels
4 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.
