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.
The Hilbert polynomial of finite points on the projective line
Example
For any field , a finite closed subscheme of length has the constant Hilbert polynomial for the usual polarization, including nonreduced points and points with nontrivial residue field. A family of such points belongs to the constant-polynomial stratum only when it is flat and finitely presented as specified in Hilbert functor of flat finitely presented projective families.
Verification
Given: AC and DC, a field , and a finite closed subscheme of length .
[F1] Finite schemes have the constant length polynomial (The Hilbert polynomial of a finite scheme is its length). The fixed-polynomial subfunctor and its universal stratum are Hilbert functor of flat finitely presented projective families, Universal family and open and closed Hilbert polynomial strata.
By the finite-scheme supplier in [F1], every invertible twist restricted to has -dimensional sections and zero higher cohomology. Thus its Euler characteristic is the constant for every integer twist. This includes nilpotent structure and residue-field degrees, since length is the full dimension of the finite coordinate algebra over .
The Hilbert polynomial is consequently . For a flat finitely presented family of total fibre length , the classifying map lands in the corresponding open and closed stratum by [F1]. The finite-scheme supplier also gives for the empty subscheme.
