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.

Kernel sheaves are objectwise, while cokernels and images are sheafified

Definition

Let φ:F→G be a morphism of sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space X.

The kernel sheaf is the subsheaf

ker⁡(φ)⊆F

defined objectwise by

ker⁡(φ)(U):=ker⁡ ⁣(φU:F(U)→G(U)).

The cokernel presheaf is

U⟼coker⁡ ⁣(φU:F(U)→G(U)),

and the cokernel sheaf coker⁡(φ) is its sheafification.

The image presheaf is

U⟼im⁡ ⁣(φU:F(U)→G(U)),

and the image sheaf im⁡(φ) is its sheafification.

For sheaves of modules on a ringed space, the same formulas are taken in the corresponding module categories on each open set.

Dependency tree · two levels

8 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.
