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.

Standard smooth presentations and locally standard smooth maps

Definition

Let R be a commutative ring. A standard smooth presentation of an R-algebra S consists of integers n≥c≥0, elements f1,…,fc of the polynomial ring P=R[x1,…,xn] (The polynomial ring R[xi:i∈I] as finitely supported coefficient families on monomials) and an element g∈P such that S≅(R[x1,…,xn]/(f1,…,fc))g as R-algebras, and such that the Jacobian matrix of (Differentials of a polynomial quotient and the Jacobian cokernel) (∂fj∂xi)1≤j≤c1≤i≤n has a c×c minor whose image in S is a unit, that is, an invertible element. The integer n−c≥0 is the relative dimension of the presentation. The case c=0 is allowed and is exactly a localisation of a polynomial ring, S≅(R[x1,…,xn])g; the case n=c=0 presents S=R[ ]g for g∈R, that is a localisation of R itself.

For a homomorphism R→S of commutative rings that is finitely presented as an R-algebra (Finitely presented modules and finitely presented algebras) and a prime q∈Spec⁡S, the map is standard smooth at q, or has a standard smooth presentation at q, when there is h∈S∖q such that Sh admits a standard smooth presentation over R. It is locally standard smooth when this holds at every prime of S; equivalently, when every point of Spec⁡S has an affine open neighbourhood on which S is presented by a single standard smooth presentation.

Two conventions are part of the definition. First, the invertible minor may be assumed to sit in the first c columns: if a minor on columns i1<⋯<ic is a unit, the automorphism of R[x1,…,xn] permuting the variables so that these become the first c variables carries the presentation to one whose minor in the first c columns is that unit, and the relative dimension n−c is unchanged. Second, a further principal localisation can be absorbed into the presentation: adjoining a variable z with the single equation zg−1 to a presentation produces a standard smooth presentation of the localisation, the new equation contributing a diagonal entry that keeps a block minor invertible, and it changes n and c by the same amount, so that the relative dimension is again unchanged.
