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.

Lagrange's theorem: G=[G:H]H|G|=[G:H]|H| for every subgroup HH of a finite group GG

Statement

Let GG be a finite group and HGH\le G. Then

G=[G:H]H.|G|=[G:H]\,|H|.

Consequently, under the canonical embedding ι:NZ\iota:\mathbb N\to\mathbb Z, ι(H)\iota(|H|) divides ι(G)\iota(|G|).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A finite group GG and a subgroup HGH\le G.

[L1]

The distinct left cosets of HH partition GG (The left cosets of a subgroup partition the group).

[L2]

The subgroup, every coset, and G/HG/H are finite; every coset has cardinality H|H| and G/H=[G:H]|G/H|=[G:H] (In a finite group, the subgroup, every coset and the set of cosets are finite, Every left or right coset of HH is equinumerous with HH, The coset set G/HG/H and the index [G:H][G:H] of a subgroup).

[L4]

The embedding ι\iota preserves multiplication, and dad\mid a in Z\mathbb Z means a=dqa=dq for some integer qq (The naturals embed in the integers, Divisibility in Z\mathbb{Z}: dad \mid a when a=dqa = dq for some integer qq).

Proof

1.1

Apply the finite partition sum to the coset partition: G=CG/HC|G|=\sum_{C\in G/H}|C|.

2.1

Every summand equals H|H|, and there are G/H=[G:H]|G/H|=[G:H] summands, so the constant-sum clause gives G=[G:H]H|G|=[G:H]|H|.

step 1.1L2L3
3.1

Applying ι\iota gives ι(G)=ι(H)ι([G:H])\iota(|G|)=\iota(|H|)\iota([G:H]), so ι(H)ι(G)\iota(|H|)\mid\iota(|G|).
