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 multiplicative group scheme mu p is not a smooth torus
Statement refuted
Every finite-type group of multiplicative type over a field is a smooth torus.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, a field of characteristic , and the group with ; the following facts are used.
Assume The Axiom of Choice only through the general classification and torus criterion invoked below.
The diagonalizable character dictionary is Split diagonalizable groups are dual to abelian groups.
General multiplicative type classification is Multiplicative type groups and Galois character modules.
Tori require torsion-free character modules: Tori correspond exactly to torsion-free character lattices.
Smoothness requires geometrically regular fibres: Smooth morphism of schemes. A Noetherian local ring is regular exactly when its dimension equals the dimension of its maximal ideal modulo its square over the residue field: embedding dimension and regular local ring.
Counterexample
F1 gives and with trivial Galois action. Thus it is of multiplicative type by F2 and is not a torus by F3. Its algebra is with , so it has a nonzero nilpotent. For any field extension , , although its coordinate ring has dimension over .
Its local ring has only one prime ideal, , so has Krull dimension zero. The quotient has dimension one over its residue field , since . Thus this Noetherian local ring is not regular by F4. Already over the fibre fails regularity, so it is not geometrically regular and is not smooth by F4. Together with step 1.1, this refutes the statement.

Dependency tree · two levels
21 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.
