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.

Tor admits dimension shifting in either variable

Statement

Assume Dependent Choice (DC) and supply the projective resolutions used to compute Tor. If 0→K→P→M→0 is exact in left R-modules with P projective, then for every right module N and i≥1 the connecting map gives Tor⁡i+1R(N,M)≅Tor⁡iR(N,K). Similarly, for 0→L→Q→N→0 exact in right modules with Q projective and a left module M, the connecting map gives Tor⁡i+1R(N,M)≅Tor⁡iR(L,M)(i≥1). These isomorphisms are natural for maps of the respective short exact sequences and of the other module; they do not assert the same formula at i=0.

Proof

Given: the first displayed short exact sequence, a right module N, supplied projective resolutions and The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an N-indexed chain.

1.1given

Under DC, The long exact Tor sequence in the left-module variable gives the segment Tor⁡i+1(N,P)→Tor⁡i+1(N,M)→∂Tor⁡i(N,K)→Tor⁡i(N,P).

2.1step 1.1algebra

Compute the projective variable using its length-zero resolution. The positive homology groups are zero by Positive Tor vanishes when the resolved variable is projective. Under DC, The Tor balance isomorphism is natural and coherent under a change of resolutions transports that computation to the resolutions in step 1.1. Both outside terms therefore vanish since i≥1.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1algebra∎

Exactness makes ∂ injective and surjective. Naturality follows from the connecting-map naturality of the cited long exact sequence. For 0→L→Q→N→0, use The long exact Tor sequence in the right-module variable and the length-zero resolution of the projective right module Q; its two outside positive Tor groups vanish by the same argument, proving the second formula and its naturality.

Remarks

The length-zero computation and the inference that an exact segment 0→A→B→0 gives an isomorphism are choice-free. DC is used here for the quoted natural Tor sequences and their resolution comparisons. If those sequences and coherent identifications are supplied explicitly, the same dimension-shifting inference needs no additional choice axiom.

34 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.
