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.

Weak enriched Yoneda lemma

Statement

Assume V is symmetric monoidal right closed and locally small. Let A be a V-category, let KA, and let F:AV be a V-functor. Then evaluation at the enriched identity of K gives a natural bijection

NatV(A(K,),F)V(1,FK).

Equivalently, V-natural transformations from the representable enriched functor A(K,) to F are in bijection with global elements of FK.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A symmetric monoidal right-closed locally small base V, a V-category A, an object K of A, and a V-functor F:AV.

[L1]

The representable enriched functor A(K,) has value A(K,A) at A, and its structure maps are induced from enriched composition (Representable enriched functor).

[L2]

A V-natural transformation may be checked by the compact square form of enriched naturality (Enriched natural transformation, The lozenge and compact-square forms of enriched naturality are equivalent).

[L3]

Right closedness supplies internal homs and evaluation morphisms (The internal hom and its evaluation morphism).

[L4]

Global elements of an internal hom are ordinary morphisms: V(1,[X,Y])V(X,Y) (The tensor unit is an internal-hom unit).

Proof

1.1

Let α:A(K,)F be V-natural. By [L4], its component at K corresponds to an ordinary morphism αˉK:A(K,K)FK. Define xα:=αˉKjK:1FK, where jK is the enriched identity of K. This is the evaluation map from the statement.

1.2

Conversely, let x:1FK. For each object A, the functor structure of F gives a morphism FK,A:A(K,A)[FK,FA], and [L3] turns it into FK,A:A(K,A)FKFA. Compose with 1x and the right unitor to obtain αˉAx:A(K,A)FA. By [L4], this determines a unique component αAx:1[A(K,A),FA].

2.1

The square criterion of [L2] for αx is exactly the compatibility of FK, with enriched composition: both sides become the same composite A(A,B)A(K,A)FKFB after evaluating the internal homs and inserting x. So αx is V-natural.

3.1

Starting from α, step 1.2 applied to xα reconstructs the same family of components because the naturality square at (K,A) sends the identity element jK to the value of αA on xα. Starting from x, step 1.1 evaluates αKx at jK and recovers x by definition. Hence the two constructions are inverse bijections.

Therefore evaluation at the enriched identity yields the stated bijection.
