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.
Blowing up the base ideal resolves a rational map to projective space
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let be an integral finite-type -scheme, let be invertible, and let be meromorphic sections of , not all zero. Their ratios define . Put and define the finite-type quasi-coherent fractional ideal . Its fractional blowup is Then is integral, its projection resolves , and is the schematic closure of its graph. The generating line bundle is . If is a -morphism from an integral scheme, is the domain of a representative of , , and extends that representative composed with , then factors uniquely through . The nonempty inverse-image condition ensures that this induced rational map is defined.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, the integral finite-type -scheme , , the meromorphic tuple , its fractional ideal , and as above.
Rational maps of integral finite-type schemes and Rational section line bundle: Meromorphic sections are elements of the one-dimensional generic fiber of (zero is allowed here); a nonzero tuple gives projective ratios on a nonempty open. Representatives agree on nonempty opens and their target is separated.
Invariance of the blowup under invertible (fractional) rescaling of the ideal and Relative Proj of a graded quasi-coherent algebra: A fractional ideal of form on an affine domain, with and an ordinary ideal, has Rees Proj canonically isomorphic to the blowup of , by degreewise rescaling. Relative Proj glues quasi-coherent graded algebras.
The pulled-back center ideal is the relative twist; the exceptional divisor is Cartier: The extended ordinary center ideal on its blowup is invertible.
Maps to projective space equal generating line-bundle data: An invertible sheaf with generating global sections gives a morphism to projective -space; its coordinates on chart are the section ratios.
Affine blowup standard charts and overlaps and Affine blowup algebras: normal form, nonzerodivisors, reducedness, domains: For in a domain , chart is , generated by the ratios ; zero generators give empty charts.
Blowups of finite type ideals are locally H-projective, and proper: The surjection gives a closed immersion of the blowup into with the displayed chart ratios.
Integrality and reducedness of blowups from the Rees charts: A blowup of a nonzero finite-type ideal on an integral scheme is integral. Its unchanged nonempty open is dense in every nonempty domain chart.
Proof
Trivialize by on an affine . Write and clear denominators by , obtaining . Then with , so it is quasi-coherent of finite type. Its powers are also quasi-coherent. Degreewise multiplication by identifies its Rees algebra with . Changing or the frame rescales these maps in each degree, inducing the same degree-zero ratio maps on Proj. Thus the relative Proj is defined and locally the ordinary blowup of ; , so is integral.
The extended fractional ideal is invertible by [F3]. The sections lie in and generate it. If generates on a local chart, the frame of is , and the coefficients of these sections are , which are regular and generate the unit ideal. Therefore [F4] gives , with coordinates on chart , resolving .
Locally on , [F6] makes a closed immersion with chart rings . These immersions agree on overlaps because their coordinate ratios agree, hence glue. On the nonempty open where a nonzero is invertible, it is the graph of ; this open is dense in the corresponding domain chart by [F5]. Consequently is the schematic closure of that graph: a function on a domain chart vanishing on this dense principal open is zero. For any representative the graph over is closed in by separatedness, and its nonempty dense part is the same graph just considered. The closure restricted to is therefore exactly that graph, with its reduced scheme structure.
Let satisfy the stated hypotheses. The nonempty open is dense in the integral scheme , and lands in there by step 3.1. The pullback of the ideal of the closed immersion vanishes on this dense open. It vanishes everywhere: on each nonempty affine open of an integral scheme, a regular function zero on a dense open is zero in its domain coordinate ring. Thus factors through . Any other -lift has the same projective component on , since over is the graph. Two maps from a reduced integral scheme to separated projective space agreeing on a dense open agree everywhere, by the same ideal-vanishing argument applied to the diagonal. Hence the two lifts agree, as is a closed subscheme of the product.
Remarks
The base ideal is fractional when the sections have poles. Clearing denominators supplies ordinary ideals locally; their rescalings need not define a single ordinary ideal globally. Multiplying the tuple by a nonzero rational scalar preserves its ratios and its blowup. A morphism whose image is entirely outside every representative's domain has no induced rational map to extend; no factoring claim is made for it.
