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.
Yoneda Ext one is naturally isomorphic to derived Ext one
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Dependent Choice, the balanced-Ext hypotheses of The balanced Ext bifunctor, and that the extension classes in question form a set. Sending an extension of by to the connecting image of gives a natural isomorphism of abelian groups
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Objects under the stated resolution hypotheses.
Proof
The assignment is well-defined by Equivalent extensions have the same Ext class, surjective by Every Ext-one class is represented by an extension, and injective by Two extensions with the same Ext class are equivalent.
For , the pullback extension and the original extension form a morphism of short exact sequences; naturality of the connecting morphism sends to the pullback of its class along . For , the analogous pushout square sends the class forward along . These are exactly the two maps in Extension classes are contravariant in the quotient and covariant in the subobject, so the bijection is natural in both variables. The diagonal-pullback and codiagonal-pushout defining Baer sum correspond, by the same two naturality squares, to addition in Ext; hence the bijection is additive.
Depends on
- The balanced Ext bifunctor
- Baer sum makes extension classes an abelian group
- Extension classes are contravariant in the quotient and covariant in the subobject
- Equivalent extensions have the same Ext class
- Every Ext-one class is represented by an extension
- Two extensions with the same Ext class are equivalent
