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 k of characteristic p>0, and the group G=μp=Spec⁡k[t]/(tp−1) with Δ(t)=t⊗t; the following facts are used.

[A1]

Assume The Axiom of Choice only through the general classification and torus criterion invoked below.

[F1]

The diagonalizable character dictionary is Split diagonalizable groups are dual to abelian groups.

[F2]

General multiplicative type classification is Multiplicative type groups and Galois character modules.

[F3]

Tori require torsion-free character modules: Tori correspond exactly to torsion-free character lattices.

[F4]

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.

F1 gives G=Dk(Z/pZ) and X∗(G)=Z/pZ with trivial Galois action. Thus it is of multiplicative type by F2 and is not a torus by F3. Its algebra is k[u]/(up) with u=t−1, so it has a nonzero nilpotent. For any field extension K/k, G(K)={1}, although its coordinate ring has dimension p over k.

2.1F4step 1.1algebra∎

Its local ring k[u]/(up) has only one prime ideal, (u), so has Krull dimension zero. The quotient (u)/(u2) has dimension one over its residue field k, since p≥2. Thus this Noetherian local ring is not regular by F4. Already over k the fibre fails regularity, so it is not geometrically regular and G→Spec⁡k is not smooth by F4. Together with step 1.1, this refutes the statement.
