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.
Singular sphere classes and ordered suspension
Statement
Let be a based space and put , with in a fixed orientation. For every , adjunction identifies the simplicial group with . On a finite pointed simplicial sphere a representative is sent to . The comparison respects suspension with as the first smash factor and as the first topological factor.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: as stated and the ordinary simplicial homotopy groups of the Kan complex .
Goal: Compare actual sphere classes and their suspension representatives.
The pointed realization–singular adjunction identifies maps with their evaluated realizations. External singular realization comparison
Kerodon Construction 3.2.2.4, Notation 3.2.2.5, Example 3.2.2.7 and Theorem 3.2.2.10 give the sphere-class convention and group law. Corollary 3.6.2.2 identifies realization of a product with a finite simplicial factor with the product. These precise standard facts are imported at the recorded locators.
Proof
Apply [F1] to . A pointed simplicial map corresponds exactly to a continuous pointed map from . Relative homotopies correspond as well: a simplicial homotopy uses , whose realization is by [F2], with the basepoint cylinder collapsed in the pointed version. Thus adjunction induces a bijection of pointed sphere classes. The group identification is the one of [F2]; its multiplication is the usual concatenation of sphere representatives under this correspondence.
The same adjunction argument applies to finite pointed sphere models, including iterated smash powers of . Realization preserves quotients and, by [F2], products with , hence . For a simplicial structure map adjoint to , evaluation of the suspension of is exactly . The first factor remains the first factor. This proves the claimed compatibility on actual representatives and on their homotopy classes.
