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.

Exact sequences of sheaves

Definition

Let X be a topological space. A sequence of sheaves of abelian groups on X is exact when it is exact in the abelian category of Sheaves of abelian groups, and likewise sheaves of modules on a ringed space, form abelian categories, equivalently in the sense of Exact sequence and short exact sequence in an abelian category.

Thus a sequence

⋯→Fi−1→Fi→Fi+1→⋯

is exact at Fi when the image sheaf of the first morphism equals the kernel sheaf of the second.

The same language applies to OX-modules on a ringed space.

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
