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 is exact in left -modules with projective, then for every right module and the connecting map gives Similarly, for exact in right modules with projective and a left module , the connecting map gives 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 .
Proof
Given: the first displayed short exact sequence, a right module , supplied projective resolutions and The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain.
Under DC, The long exact Tor sequence in the left-module variable gives the segment .
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 .
Exactness makes injective and surjective. Naturality follows from the connecting-map naturality of the cited long exact sequence. For , use The long exact Tor sequence in the right-module variable and the length-zero resolution of the projective right module ; 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 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.
