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.
G-acyclic object for a left-exact functor
Definition
Let and be abelian categories, let be additive and left exact, and let . Fix a supplied injective resolution datum whose domain contains . The object is -acyclic relative to if for every integer , where is defined by Right derived objects relative to supplied injective resolution data. A complex is termwise -acyclic relative to supplied data if each term lies in the domain of a specified datum and satisfies for every .
The condition imposes no vanishing on , which is canonically isomorphic to by left exactness and the resolution augmentation; it does not assert literal equality of these objects. It is distinct from exactness of a complex: exactness concerns its differentials, whereas termwise -acyclicity concerns the higher derived objects of its individual terms. The zero object with its zero resolution is -acyclic relative to that datum; a complex with no terms satisfies termwise acyclicity vacuously. No choice of a family of resolutions or independence assertion is part of this definition.
