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.

Injective-resolution Ext has the stated bifunctor variance

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Dependent Choice. Let $I$ be supplied injective resolution data on a class $D$ in an abelian category. For every $q$ , injective-resolution Ext is contravariant in $M$ and covariant in $N$ : $a : M^{'} \to M$ and $b : N \to N^{'}$ induce ${Ext}_{I}^{q} (M, N) \to {Ext}_{I}^{q} (M^{'}, N)$ and ${Ext}_{I}^{q} (M, N) \to {Ext}_{I}^{q} (M, N^{'})$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Objects $N, N^{'} \in D$ , objects $M, M^{'}$ , and maps $a, b$ as stated.

Proof

1.1givenconstruct

Precomposition by $a$ is a cochain map $Hom (M, I^{∙}) \to Hom (M^{'}, I^{∙})$ . A comparison extension of $b$ is a cochain map $I^{∙} \to I^{' ∙}$ , hence postcomposition gives the second cochain map.

2.1step 1.1algebra∎

Homotopic comparison extensions induce the same cohomology map, so the second map is choice-independent. Identity and composition of the comparison maps give the functor laws, with $a$ reversing arrows.
