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 punctured affine line is a principal open with Laurent-polynomial coordinate ring but is not closed in its ambient affine line
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice, and let be an algebraically closed field. Inside with coordinate , the punctured affine line is Therefore Regular functions on a principal open are the principal localization of the coordinate ring identifies its regular-function ring with the principal localization the Laurent polynomial ring obtained by adjoining .
By On the affine line, the classical Zariski topology is cofinite, the closed subsets of are exactly the finite sets and the whole line. Hence is closed, so its complement is open; but that complement is not all of and is infinite, so it is not closed. This is the basic quasi-affine example: it is affine as a principal open, but not as a closed subset of the ambient affine line.

Dependency tree · two levels
14 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.
