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.

Stable rotation and exact coherent products

PDF p. 3: Filtered S1 spectra: stable enhancement prerequisites

Statement

In Sp every small coherent diagram has a homotopy limit and colimit. For f:A→B define fib⁡(f)=A×B0 and cofib⁡(f)=B⨿A0. Then cofib⁡(f)≃fib⁡(f)[1]. A fiber sequence F→A→B, including its nullhomotopy and defining pullback square, extends to the cofiber triangle F→A→B→F[1]. Products are coherent homotopy products. Smash with a fixed spectrum preserves finite limits and finite colimits in either variable.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Spectra, a map f and a small indexing infinity-category. Write 0 for the zero object and [1] for suspension, E[1]=0⨿E0.

Goal: Establish rotation, products and separate exactness of smash.

[F1]

The stable enhancement gives all small limits and colimits, equality of pushouts and pullbacks, and a symmetric monoidal smash preserving colimits separately. External stable enhancement and smash product of spectra

Proof

1.1F1

The limits and colimits exist by [F1] and are homotopy limits and colimits because their universal properties are equivalences of mapping spaces. In particular, the limit over a discrete small indexing category is the homotopy product, with the coherences supplied by the limit construction.

1.2F1given

The square defining F as the fiber of A→B is a pullback and hence a pushout. Thus B≃A⨿F0. Pasting pushouts gives B⨿A0≃(A⨿F0)⨿A0≃0⨿F0=F[1]. The induced map B→F[1] completes the stated cofiber triangle. Taking F=fib⁡(f) gives cofib⁡(f)≃fib⁡(f)[1].

2.1F1step 1.1step 1.2∎

Smash with a fixed spectrum preserves colimits and therefore the zero object and pushout squares. A pullback square is a pushout square, so its image is again both a pushout and a pullback. Preservation of the zero object and pullbacks gives preservation of finite limits; finite colimits are preserved by assumption. The same argument applies in the other variable. This proves the statement.
