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.

Short exact chain Mayer–Vietoris sequence

Statement

For $X = U \cup V$ open, there is a short exact sequence $0 \to C_{∙} (U \cap V; G) \overset{i}{\to} (C_{∙} (U; G) \oplus C_{∙} (V; G)) \overset{j}{\to} C_{∙}^{{U, V}} (X; G) \to 0,$ where $i (c) = (c, - c)$ and $j (u, v) = u + v$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An open cover $X = U \cup V$ .

Proof

1.1givenconstruct

Both $i$ and $j$ commute with boundaries; $i$ is injective and $j$ is surjective by the sum description of cover-small chains.

2.1step 1.1algebra∎

If $u + v = 0$ , then $u = - v$ is a chain in both $U$ and $V$ , so $(u, v) = i (u)$ . Thus the kernel of $j$ is the image of $i$ .
