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.
Galois action on primes above a prime is transitive
Statement
Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields and p a nonzero prime of . Then acts transitively on the primes P above p.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The data and hypotheses of the statement.
Chinese remainder theorem for pairwise comaximal ideals: Let be a commutative ring and let be pairwise comaximal ideals, where . Then the canonical map is surjective, its kernel is , and Equivalently,
Integral ideal factorisation in a number field, in ZF: Every nonzero integral ideal of has a unique finite factorisation into distinct nonzero prime ideals, with . The finite choices in this construction are least-coded finite choices, so the assertion uses no Choice.
Norm and trace from embeddings, with the inseparable exponent in the norm formula: Let be a finite field extension, let be an algebraic closure, let , and let be the inseparable degree (def-inseparable-degree). Then for every , and In particular, when is separable these are the ordinary sum and product over the distinct -embeddings of into ; and when in characteristic , the trace map is identically zero because is a power of .
Proof
Factor into its finite nonempty set S of prime divisors. These primes are maximal, hence distinct ones are comaximal; G permutes S because it fixes p. If S had two orbits A,B, CRT would give with residue zero at every prime in A and residue one at every prime in B. The remaining finitely many primes may also be assigned residue one.
The product belongs to K and is integral, hence belongs to . At a prime of A every factor is zero modulo that prime; at a prime of B every factor is one, because each inverse image prime is again in B. Thus but at a prime above p, a contradiction. There is only one orbit.

21 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.
