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.
Unequal-dimensional proper pushforwards carry the summed-dimension Ext/Borel–Moore degree
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice as inherited from the cited constructible and cellular suppliers. For the trivial group , , and with , , put and in the setting of Equivariant Borel–Moore homology and oriented correspondence convolution. Then is for and zero otherwise, and the corresponding summed-dimension Borel–Moore degrees are and ; the reverse corner has the same two nonzero degrees. The unaugmented shifts and give the wrong degrees in at least one corner, so the summed normalization of Proper-pushforward Ext is equivariant Borel–Moore homology of the fiber product is the one compatible with the two unequal source dimensions.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: the Axiom of Choice; the trivial group ; the base ; the sources with and with ; the proper maps and ; the objects and ; and the normalization of Equivariant Borel–Moore homology and oriented correspondence convolution.
Assume AC. For the equivariant correspondence data of Equivariant Borel–Moore homology and oriented correspondence convolution, Proper-pushforward Ext is equivariant Borel–Moore homology of the fiber product supplies natural isomorphisms for every integer and every pair , compatible with the Borel approximation.
In Equivariant Borel–Moore homology and oriented correspondence convolution, , and ordinary Borel–Moore homology is , which for smooth complex of pure dimension , where , equals . For the trivial group the nerve of Equivariant constructible derived category of complex varieties is constant at . Its Cartesian-cohomology subcategory is equivalent to the ordinary bounded constructible category by the identity model with and of General linear Stiefel approximations stabilize bounded constructible Hom; the Cartesian condition is still imposed on simplicial sheaves.
The complex projective line is a smooth complex manifold of complex dimension (Complex projective space and its holomorphic charts), and its structure morphism is proper (Finite-dimensional projective space is proper over every base with and ). Under the standard identification , the Schubert cells of Stiefel spaces, Grassmannians, and tautological bundles, Schubert cells in real and complex Grassmannians and Schubert cells give the stable Grassmannian CW structure give a finite CW structure with exactly one cell in real dimension and one in real dimension .
If a CW complex has no cells in adjacent dimensions, every cellular differential vanishes and (A CW complex with no cells in adjacent dimensions has zero cellular boundary); for a CW pair and local system the cellular cochain complex computes cohomology, (Cellular cochains compute cohomology with local coefficients).
Under AC, a metric space with a contractible-open neighborhood basis has constant-sheaf cohomology naturally equal to its singular cohomology (Locally contractible metric spaces have singular constant sheaf cohomology). The projective-line charts of [F3] give such a basis; its rank-one Hermitian-projector embedding gives a metric.
The Axiom of Choice is inherited through the cited constructible and cellular suppliers; the explicit finite CW and Hom computations below are choice-free (The Axiom of Choice).
Verification
The two sources and the objects. The map is proper with and , and the map is proper with and , the last equality using for proper . The fiber products are .
The cohomology of the projective line. By [F3] the Schubert cells give one -cell and one -cell, so its constant-coefficient cellular cochain complex is . By [F4] it computes singular cohomology, and [F5] identifies this with constant-sheaf cohomology: and the other groups vanish. A complex of vector spaces with these cohomology groups is quasi-isomorphic to : choose cocycles representing the two generators to obtain a cochain map from to the complex inducing these cohomology isomorphisms. Thus .
The forward corner. For complexes of -vector spaces one has , so , which by step 1.2 is for and for and is zero otherwise; in particular both nonzero groups are one-dimensional.
The reverse corner. Similarly , which is exactly when or and is zero otherwise; so both corners have the same two nonzero degrees.
The degree check. By [F1] the isomorphism identifies with : the degree corresponds to Borel–Moore degree and to Borel–Moore degree , and the reverse corner gives the same two degrees. These values match the computation: by [F2] and step 1.2, is for and for . The single-source shifts fail this comparison in both corners: is for and for , and is for and for , while the required degrees are and . Hence the summed normalization is the one compatible with the two unequal source dimensions.
