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.

Rational cofiber implies finite-coefficient equivalence

PDF p. 6: Finite-coefficient comparison

Statement

Let f:A→B be a morphism in D(Z) whose cofiber is isomorphic in D(Z) to the underlying complex of a complex of Q-vector spaces. For every positive integer n, f⊗ZLZ/n is an isomorphism in D(Z), and consequently induces an isomorphism on Hi for every integer i.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: f and n as stated.

Goal: Prove the finite-coefficient equivalence and its cohomological consequence.

[F1]

A rational complex has zero derived quotient by n. Finite derived quotients of rational complexes vanish

[F2]

Taking the derived quotient by n commutes with mapping cones. Derived finite coefficients preserve mapping cones

Proof

1.1F1F2given

By [F1] and [F2], the mapping cone of f⊗LZ/n is zero in D(Z), equivalently it is acyclic.

2.1step 1.1∎

The long exact cohomology sequence of the mapping cone, obtained from the degreewise split sequence B→Cone⁡(f)→A[1], shows that a chain map with acyclic cone induces an isomorphism on every cohomology group. Thus the finite-coefficient map is a quasi-isomorphism and hence an isomorphism in D(Z). Applying Hi gives the stated group isomorphism.
