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 generic point of the affine line has no relative k-valued coordinate
Statement refuted
“Every point of is the kernel of a -algebra map .”
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A field and .
The closure of a prime in a prime spectrum is (Generic points of irreducible closed subsets).
Counterexample
If are nonzero, the leading coefficient of is the nonzero product of their leading coefficients; hence is a domain and is a point of . By [F1], its closure is all of .
Evaluation at identifies with the domain , so is prime and strictly contains . Thus the closure in step 1.1 is not a singleton, and is not closed. quotient-domain criterion
A relative -valued coordinate representing a point is a [F1, step 2.1, algebra] -algebra map whose kernel is . Such a map fixes , hence is surjective and has maximal kernel. By [F1] its closure is the set of primes containing it, which is the singleton consisting of that maximal ideal. Its kernel is therefore closed, whereas is not, so the generic point has no relative -valued coordinate.
Depends on
- The residue field at a point of an affine scheme
- Generic points of irreducible closed subsets
- The polynomial ring over a commutative ring as finitely supported coefficient sequences with convolution
- $\operatorname{Frac}(D)$ is a field and $d\mapsto d/1$ embeds the integral domain $D$
- Algebras over a commutative ring, central structure maps, and algebra homomorphisms
- $R/P$ is an integral domain if and only if $P$ is a prime ideal

Dependency tree · two levels
24 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.
