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.

Invariant-factor data for a finite abelian group

Definition

An invariant-factor list for a finite abelian group $G$ is a finite list of integers $1 < n_{1} ∣ n_{2} ∣ \dots ∣ n_{r}$ together with an isomorphism $G ≅ C_{n_{1}} \times \dots \times C_{n_{r}}$ . The cyclic factors and product use Every cyclic group is isomorphic to $(Z, +)$ or to $(Z / n, +)$ for its finite order $n \geq 1$ and The external direct product $G \times H$ with componentwise multiplication. Unit factors are omitted. The trivial group has the empty list.
