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.
Artin's fixed-field theorem: and
Statement
If is a finite group of automorphisms of , then and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A field , a finite automorphism group , and the fixed field .
If is a finite group of automorphisms of , then (Artin's fixed-field lower bound ).
If is a finite group of automorphisms of , then (Artin's fixed-field upper bound ).
For a finite extension , one has ( is a group and ).
Proof
The opposing bounds [L1] and [L2] give . In particular is finite. For this says and the degree is .
Every fixes , so . By [L3] and step 1.1, ; a finite set containing and having at most its cardinality equals .
