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 affine line and its punctured principal open are birational but not isomorphic
Statement refuted
Birational affine varieties need not be isomorphic.
Assume the Axiom of Choice and let be an algebraically closed field. Take with coordinate ring and The explicit isomorphism in The hyperbola xy = 1 is isomorphic to the punctured affine line identifies with the classical affine variety , so may be used as an affine-variety target. The identity on the common nonempty open , in one direction, and the inclusion , in the other, exhibit and as birational.
They are not isomorphic. By Regular functions on a principal open are the principal localization of the coordinate ring, whereas . Every unit of is constant: if in , then , so . By contrast, is a nonconstant unit of with inverse . Therefore the two rings have different unit groups and cannot be isomorphic. Thus Affine morphisms are contravariantly equivalent to coordinate-ring homomorphisms rules out an isomorphism of varieties.

Dependency tree · two levels
17 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
