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.

Extension by zero for abelian sheaves on an open subspace

Definition

Let j:U↪X be the inclusion of an open subspace, and let F be a sheaf of abelian groups on U.

For an open set V⊆X, define (j!F)(V):={s∈F(V∩U):Supp⁡(s) is closed in V}. Equivalently, s lies in (j!F)(V) exactly when for every x∈V∖U there exists an open neighbourhood Wx⊆V with

s∣Wx∩U=0.

Restriction maps are inherited from F, so j!F is a subsheaf of j∗F. When V⊆U, the support condition is vacuous and

(j!F)(V)=F(V).

This is the extension by zero of F along j. It is distinct in general from the ordinary direct image j∗F.

Dependency tree · two levels

5 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.
