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.
The natural PID Kunneth sequence is exact
Statement
Assume AC. Let be a commutative PID and nonnegative chain complexes of free -modules of arbitrary rank. Use the direct-sum tensor total complex with for . For every there is a short exact sequence, natural in chain maps of both complexes, Here , and is the established cycle-boundary Tor quotient. All indices in the sums are nonnegative; an empty sum is zero. Naturality concerns this exact sequence, without a choice of section.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: as in the statement, assuming The Axiom of Choice.
The cycle-boundary tensor sequence is exact; its connecting map, kernel, cokernel, and the two induced maps have the explicit descriptions in The cycle-boundary tensor sequence has the Kunneth kernel and cokernel.
The cycle tensor formula defines a well-defined natural cross product: The Kunneth cross-product map is well defined and natural.
The established Tor quotient is induced by the canonical cycle-boundary presentations and is natural: The Kunneth Tor map.
A morphism of short exact sequences of complexes induces a morphism of their homology LES: The long exact homology sequence is natural.
Proof
Write and for the maps of [F1], with . Its LES gives , , and . Therefore , , is well defined and injective: exactly when .
Let and be chain maps between complexes satisfying the hypotheses. The relation sends cycles to cycles and boundaries to boundaries, and gives , where is restricted to . Thus is a morphism of the canonical short exact tensor sequences. By [F4] it commutes with , hence with their induced kernel/cokernel maps.
The corestriction is onto and has kernel . Thus is exact. Under the explicit identifications in [F1], is precisely of [F2], and is precisely of [F3]. This proves all three exactness assertions for the maps in the statement.
The cokernel identification commutes with these maps since goes to and then to . On a kernel summand, the maps and form a map of the actual length-one resolutions lifting . Tensoring with induces the Tor map used by the natural quotient [F3]. Hence step 1.2 gives both naturality squares for the displayed sequence. Equivalently the first square follows by evaluating [F2] on . No selected sections enter , these resolution maps, or the two final arrows.
At the Tor sum is empty, so exactness makes an isomorphism. At the right term is . If one complex is zero, and both end terms are zero, so the same proof gives the zero exact sequence. There is no upper endpoint: for each only finitely many pairs occur, regardless of the ranks.
