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.

Rests on 3 statements not proved in this library, by way of the results it cites. This item cites no such statement directly; it depends on results that do. The unproved premises it inherits are Cohen's first model: an infinite Dedekind-finite set of reals, Sierpiński 1947: the generalised continuum hypothesis implies the Axiom of Choice and The continuum hypothesis and its generalisation are independent of ZFC. Each is recorded with a citation to the literature and is not established here, because the track that would prove it has not yet been developed in this library. Everything else in this proof is proved here.

regular local ring satisfies s two

Statement

Every regular local ring satisfies (Sj) for every integer j0, in particular (S2).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement. We work with the Axiom of Choice; cited dependent-choice and resolution-existence hypotheses are retained.

[F1]

serre r k and s k conditions: For a commutative Noetherian ring R and an integer j0, condition (Rj) means that Rp is regular whenever htpj. Condition (Sj) means that depthRpmin{j,dimRp} for every prime p. A finite module M satisfies (Sj) if depthRpMpmin{j,dimSuppRpMp} for every prime in its support. Outside the support the condition is vacuous, consistent with depth of the zero module being + and the empty support having no nonnegative dimension. Thus the zero module satisfies all (Sj) conditions, and the zero ring satisfies both families vacuously.

[F2]

localisations of regular local rings are regular: Every prime localization Rp of a regular local ring R is regular, and edimRp=htp.

[F3]

regular local rings are domains and cohen macaulay: A regular local ring R of dimension d is a domain and Cohen–Macaulay. For every regular system (x1,,xd), the tuple is R-regular and R/(x1,,xc) is regular local of dimension dc for all 0cd.

Proof

1.1

At every prime the local ring is regular, hence Cohen–Macaulay. Its depth therefore equals its dimension.

2.1

For every j0, that dimension is at least its minimum with j, which is the (Sj) inequality. The inequality includes j=0 and local dimension zero.

15 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.
