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.

Direct image of a sheaf along a continuous map

Definition

Let f:X→Y be a continuous map, and let F be a presheaf on X. The direct image presheaf f∗F on Y is defined on an open set V⊆Y by

(f∗F)(V):=F(f−1(V)).

If V′⊆V, the restriction map

(f∗F)(V)⟶(f∗F)(V′)

is the restriction map of F for the inclusion f−1(V′)⊆f−1(V).

Thus direct image is just precomposition of the presheaf with the inverse-image map on open sets.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
