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.

‡ Rests on 3 statements not proved in this library, by way of the results it cites. This item cites no such statement directly; it depends on results that do. The unproved premises it inherits are ‡ Cohen's first model: an infinite Dedekind-finite set of reals, ‡ Sierpiński 1947: the generalised continuum hypothesis implies the Axiom of Choice and ‡ The continuum hypothesis and its generalisation are independent of ZFC. Each is recorded with a citation to the literature and is not established here, because the track that would prove it has not yet been developed in this library. Everything else in this proof is proved here.

Depth is bounded by support dimension

Statement

For every nonzero finite module M over a Noetherian local ring R, 0≤depth⁡R(M)≤dim⁡Supp⁡R(M). The nonzero hypothesis is essential for this formulation: under the adopted convention depth⁡R(0)=+∞, whereas the empty support has no nonnegative Krull dimension.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: M is nonzero and finite over the Noetherian local ring R.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Depth is the length of a regular sequence and is therefore nonnegative. The upper bound is cor-depth-of-a-finite-local-module-at-most-its-dimension.

given
2.1

These give the displayed double inequality. The last sentence follows directly from the separately declared zero-module depth convention.

Dependency tree · two levels

2 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.
