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 X be an integral finite-type k-scheme, let L be invertible, and let s0,…,sn be meromorphic sections of L, not all zero. Their ratios define φ:X⇢Pkn. Put F=∑iOXsi⊆KX(L) and define the finite-type quasi-coherent fractional ideal I=F⊗L−1⊆KX. Its fractional blowup is B=Proj⁡X(⨁d≥0Id),I0=OX. Then B is integral, its projection π:B→X resolves φ, and (π,ψ):B↪X×kPkn is the schematic closure of its graph. The generating line bundle is M=π∗L⊗(IOB). If f:Y→X is a k-morphism from an integral scheme, D⊆X is the domain of a representative of φ, f−1(D)≠∅, and θ:Y→Pkn extends that representative composed with f, then f factors uniquely through B. The nonempty inverse-image condition ensures that this induced rational map is defined.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Choice, the integral finite-type k-scheme X, L, the meromorphic tuple (si), its fractional ideal I, and B as above.

[F1]

Rational maps of integral finite-type schemes and Rational section line bundle: Meromorphic sections are elements of the one-dimensional generic fiber of L (zero is allowed here); a nonzero tuple gives projective ratios on a nonempty open. Representatives agree on nonempty opens and their target is separated.

[F2]

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 a−1J on an affine domain, with a≠0 and J an ordinary ideal, has Rees Proj canonically isomorphic to the blowup of J, by degreewise rescaling. Relative Proj glues quasi-coherent graded algebras.

[F3]

The pulled-back center ideal is the relative twist; the exceptional divisor is Cartier: The extended ordinary center ideal on its blowup is invertible.

[F4]

Maps to projective space equal generating line-bundle data: An invertible sheaf with n+1 generating global sections gives a morphism to projective n-space; its coordinates on chart j are the section ratios.

[F5]

Affine blowup standard charts and overlaps and Affine blowup algebras: normal form, nonzerodivisors, reducedness, domains: For J=(p0,…,pn) in a domain A, chart j is A[J/pj]⊆Apj, generated by the ratios pi/pj; zero generators give empty charts.

[F6]

Blowups of finite type ideals are locally H-projective, and proper: The surjection A[T0,…,Tn]→R(J) gives a closed immersion of the blowup into Spec⁡A×Pkn with the displayed chart ratios.

[F7]

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

1.1F1F2F7

Trivialize L by e on an affine U=Spec⁡A. Write si=hie and clear denominators by a∈A∖{0}, obtaining pi=ahi∈A. Then I∣U=a−1J with J=(pi), so it is quasi-coherent of finite type. Its powers are also quasi-coherent. Degreewise multiplication by ad identifies its Rees algebra with R(J). Changing a 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 J; J≠0, so B is integral.

2.1F3F4F5step 1.1

The extended fractional ideal IOB=a−1(JOB) is invertible by [F3]. The sections π∗si lie in M=π∗L⊗(IOB) and generate it. If b generates JOB on a local chart, the frame of M is π∗e⊗(b/a), and the coefficients of these sections are pi/b, which are regular and generate the unit ideal. Therefore [F4] gives ψ:B→Pkn, with coordinates pi/pj=hi/hj on chart j, resolving φ.

3.1F1F5F6F7step 2.1

Locally on X, [F6] makes (π,ψ) a closed immersion with chart rings A[J/pj]. These immersions agree on overlaps because their coordinate ratios agree, hence glue. On the nonempty open where a nonzero pj is invertible, it is the graph of φ; this open is dense in the corresponding domain chart by [F5]. Consequently B is the schematic closure of that graph: a function on a domain chart vanishing on this dense principal open is zero. For any representative φD the graph over D is closed in D×Pkn by separatedness, and its nonempty dense part is the same graph just considered. The closure restricted to D is therefore exactly that graph, with its reduced scheme structure.

4.1F1step 3.1∎

Let f,θ,D satisfy the stated hypotheses. The nonempty open f−1(D) is dense in the integral scheme Y, and (f,θ) lands in B there by step 3.1. The pullback of the ideal of the closed immersion B↪X×Pkn 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 (f,θ) factors through B. Any other X-lift has the same projective component on f−1(D), since B over D 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 B 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.
