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.
A real conic acquires complex points
Example
The real scheme has no -valued points over . Its complex base change is and has the complex point . Absence of real-valued points does not mean is empty.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The objects, hypotheses and conventions in the statement above.
For every field and scheme , morphisms correspond bijectively to pairs with and a field embedding . The identity embedding gives a canonical morphism , compatible with all scheme morphisms. More generally, for a nonzero local ring , morphisms correspond to pairs with a local homomorphism . Assuming Choice, two field-valued points have the same image in if and only if they are dominated by a common field-valued point, by compatible embeddings of their fields into a third field. (Field-valued points and local-ring points)
For a field extension and a -scheme , the inverse image of every affine open in is . These affine charts cover and are compatible on overlaps and with coefficient localizations. (Affine charts after extension of the ground field)
Let be a unital ring map. For any set of variables and any ideal , Here the extended ideal is generated by the coefficient images of all elements of . For a multiplicative subset , These are ring isomorphisms; no flatness, finite-generation or nonzero-ring hypothesis is required. (Presentations and localization under base extension)
Verification
A real-valued point over gives a real algebra map to , hence images satisfying . This is impossible since the left side is at least 1. This agrees with the residue-field description of F1; the requirement that the morphism be over is retained.
F2 and F3 give the displayed complex ring. Evaluation kills its defining polynomial and sends 1 to 1, so it is a complex point. Its composition with the projection gives a point of , proving is nonempty. The same evaluation directly shows neither coordinate ring is zero.

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.
