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.
Connected smooth quasiprojective model with proper special fibre is proper
Statement
Assume AC and DC as inherited from the stated suppliers. Let be a discrete valuation ring and let be a smooth separated finite-type quasi-projective -scheme whose generic fibre is an abelian variety. If the special fibre is proper and geometrically connected, then is proper over . Applied to the connected identity model of a smooth group scheme with abelian generic fibre, becomes an abelian scheme.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC and DC, a DVR with residue field , uniformizer , and a smooth separated finite-type quasi-projective -scheme with abelian generic fibre and proper geometrically connected special fibre.
The quasi-projective identity model with abelian generic fibre is Divisor ampleness and quasi-projectivity of group models; schematic closures are contracted from the generic fibre, and a smooth scheme is flat hence schematically dense (Schematic closure and agreement on a dense open, Over a principal ideal domain flatness is equivalent to torsion-freeness, Every DVR is a PID).
The perfect-complex machinery for a proper flat finitely presented morphism: the cohomology of is computed by a bounded finite projective complex concentrated in degrees , with naturality in base algebras (Universal finite projective cohomology complex over any base); Noetherian completion is flat and faithfully flat, and properness descends along faithfully flat maps (The completion of a Noetherian ring is flat, Completion of a finite module is extension of scalars, A flat ring map is faithfully flat exactly when it detects proper ideals and is surjective on spectra, Properness descends through fpqc base change); a morphism from a proper source to a separated target is proper (Morphisms from a proper scheme to a separated one are proper), and proper integral fibres have constant functions (Global functions on proper integral schemes form a finite extension of the base field, Projective coherent finiteness and large twist vanishing).
Proof
Properness descends along the faithfully flat completion by [F2], so it suffices to treat a complete DVR. In that case view as an open subscheme of its projective schematic closure in by [F1]; the closure is -torsion-free on coordinate charts because its ideal is contracted from the generic fibre, so is flat over , and because the generic fibre is proper, hence closed in projective space. The finite -module injects into by flatness, and every element is integral over the integrally closed ring , so .
If were disconnected, a nontrivial clopen partition would define compatible idempotents on the nilpotent thickenings , which share the same underlying space. Applying the finite projective complex of [F2] to the proper flat and gives ; finite projective modules over complete are complete and inverse limits preserve kernels, so . The compatible idempotents would therefore produce a nontrivial idempotent in , impossible; hence is connected.
The open immersion has proper source and separated target, hence is proper by [F2], so its image is closed and open and nonempty in the connected ; it is therefore all of , and is an isomorphism. Since the generic fibres already coincide, the closed complement has empty fibres over both points of , hence is empty and is proper over .
Applied to the identity component of a smooth separated finite-type -group scheme with abelian generic fibre: is quasi-projective (Divisor ampleness and quasi-projectivity of group models), smooth separated finite type with geometrically connected fibres, so if its special fibre is proper then is proper by steps 1.1 and 2.1 and is an abelian scheme over . This lemma does not claim that arbitrary smooth connected group models are quasi-projective, and the argument retains the AC and DC assumptions of the perfect-complex supplier.
