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.

The map $g \mapsto (x \mapsto g x g^{- 1})$ is a homomorphism $G \to Aut (G)$ with kernel $Z (G)$ and image $Inn (G)$

The map $g \mapsto (x \mapsto g x g^{- 1})$ is a homomorphism $G \to Aut (G)$ with kernel $Z (G)$ and image $Inn (G)$ .

Given: A group $G$ .

[L1]

$Inn (G) = {c_{g} : g \in G}$ (Inner automorphisms and $Inn (G)$ ).

[L2]

[L3]

Kernels and images are defined for group homomorphisms (The kernel and image of a group homomorphism).

[L4]

$Z (G) = {g \in G : g x = x g for every x \in G}$ (The center $Z (G)$ of a group).

[L5]

A homomorphism preserves the group operation (Monoid homomorphism and group homomorphism).

Define $C (g) = c_{g}$ ; for every $x$ , $C (g h) (x) = g h x (g h)^{- 1} = g (h x h^{- 1}) g^{- 1} = (C (g) \circ C (h)) (x)$ .

Now $C (g) = {id}_{G}$ exactly when $g x g^{- 1} = x$ for every $x$ , equivalently $g \in Z (G)$ , and its image is $Inn (G)$ by definition.

Thus $C$ is a homomorphism with kernel $Z (G)$ and image $Inn (G)$ .
