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.

Open and universally open morphisms of schemes

Definition

Let f:X→S be a morphism of schemes; write ∣f∣:∣X∣→∣S∣ for its underlying continuous map of topological spaces (Morphisms of schemes).

The morphism f is open if ∣f∣ is an open map: for every open subset U⊆∣X∣ the image ∣f∣(U) is open in ∣S∣ (Homeomorphism, open map, closed map, embedding, and what it means for a property to be topological).

The morphism f is universally open if for every S-scheme T, that is, every morphism of schemes T→S (Schemes and morphisms over a base), the base-changed projection fT:XT=X×ST⟶T is open, where the base change is as in Base change of objects, morphisms and properties.

The quantifier in the second clause ranges over all S-schemes T; no finiteness, quasi-compactness or separatedness hypothesis is part of the definition. Universal openness implies openness by taking T=S. A morphism whose source is empty is open, and a morphism whose target is empty has empty source and is open.

Dependency tree · two levels

13 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.
