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.

A complete local domain is finite over a regular power-series ring

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice.

Let $(A, m)$ be a complete equicharacteristic Noetherian local domain of dimension $d$ . Then there exists a coefficient field $k \subseteq A$ and an injective local homomorphism $k ⟦ X_{1}, \dots, X_{d} ⟧ ↪ A$ whose image is a regular complete local subring over which $A$ is module-finite.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A complete equicharacteristic Noetherian local domain $(A, m)$ of dimension $d$ and the Axiom of Choice.

[L1]

The parameter power-series map makes $A$ finite over its image (Parameters make a complete local domain finite over the image of a power-series map).

[L2]

The same map is injective (The parameter power-series map is injective by dimension).

[L3]

A system of parameters is the $d$ -tuple that determines the relevant map (Systems of parameters and parameter ideals).

Proof

technique · choose parameters, then identify the source with its image

1.1

Choose a coefficient field $k \subseteq A$ and a system of parameters $x_{1}, \dots, x_{d}$ . By [L3], these parameters determine the continuous map $ϕ : k ⟦ X_{1}, \dots, X_{d} ⟧ \to A, X_{i} \mapsto x_{i} .$

L3givenchoose

2.1

By [L1], $A$ is finite over $ϕ (k ⟦ X_{1}, \dots, X_{d} ⟧)$ , and by [L2] the map $ϕ$ is injective. Therefore we may identify the source with a subring $A_{0} \subseteq A$ over which $A$ is module-finite. Standard formal-power-series theory makes $A_{0} ≅ k ⟦ X_{1}, \dots, X_{d} ⟧$ a regular complete local ring.

3.1

Hence $A$ is finite over a regular power-series subring in $d$ variables over a coefficient field.
