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 identity model of a smooth group with abelian generic fibre

Statement

Assume AC and DC as inherited from the supplied algebra and scheme results. Let R be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field K and residue field k, and let G be a smooth separated finite-type R-group scheme (Group schemes over a base scheme) whose generic fibre GK is an abelian variety (Abelian varieties over a field). Then G0=GK∪(Gk)0 is an open R-subgroup scheme of G, smooth, separated and of finite type over R, with geometrically connected fibres. On each geometric fibre of G, the orbits of G0 are exactly the connected components of that fibre.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC and DC, a DVR R with fraction field K and residue field k, a smooth separated finite-type R-group scheme G with abelian generic fibre GK, and the identity component (Gk)0 of the special fibre.

[F1]

GK is an abelian variety, hence connected; Gk is a smooth finite-type k-group scheme with finitely many connected components, the identity component (Gk)0 being open and a subgroup scheme (Abelian varieties over a field, Group schemes over a base scheme).

[F2]

A connected smooth finite-type group scheme over a field is geometrically connected, and a smooth connected such group is geometrically integral; these statements propagate through field extension (Connected finite-type groups are geometrically connected, assuming AC).

[F3]

A scheme which is smooth over a discrete valuation ring is flat over it, and a closed subscheme of a scheme over a DVR whose generic and special fibres are both empty is empty; a morphism of R-schemes whose restriction to the generic fibre and to the special fibre both factor through an open subscheme factors through it (Locally Noetherian and Noetherian schemes, Group schemes over a base scheme).

Proof

technique · direct: the subscheme is open by construction, closed under the group operations fibrewise, and its orbits are computed by translation
1.1F1F2givenconstruct

The set G0=GK∪(Gk)0 is open in G: by [F1], Gk has finitely many connected components, so Gk∖(Gk)0 is closed in Gk. Since the special fibre Gk is closed in G, this complement is closed in G. Its complement in G is exactly GK∪(Gk)0, which is therefore open. It is an open subscheme, hence smooth, separated and of finite type over R. Its generic fibre is the connected abelian variety GK and its special fibre is (Gk)0, connected; by [F2] the special fibre is geometrically connected and the generic fibre is geometrically connected, so the fibres over the two points of Spec⁡R are geometrically connected.

2.1F1F3step 1.1algebra

The multiplication, inverse and unit of G restrict to G0: the multiplication mG maps GK×KGK into GK and (Gk)0×k(Gk)0 into (Gk)0 because (Gk)0 is a subgroup scheme; hence the preimage mG−1(G0)⊆G×RG is an open subscheme containing both GK×KGK and (Gk)0×k(Gk)0. The complement of this preimage inside the open subscheme G0×RG0 is closed with empty generic and special fibres, hence empty by [F3]; therefore mG restricts to G0×RG0→G0. The same argument with the inverse and the unit section (whose value at the closed point lies in (Gk)0) shows that G0 is an R-subgroup scheme of G.

2.2F1F2step 1.1algebra

Let sˉ be a geometric point of Spec⁡R. If sˉ lies over the generic point, Gsˉ=(GK)sˉ is connected by [F2]; if sˉ lies over the closed point, Gsˉ=(Gk)sˉ and (G0)sˉ=((Gk)0)sˉ=(Gsˉ)0 because the identity component of a smooth group scheme over a field is geometrically connected by [F2]. Thus Gsˉ0 is the identity component of the smooth group Gsˉ.

3.1F1step 2.2algebra∎

On a geometric fibre Gsˉ, translation by a point x is an isomorphism Gsˉ→Gsˉ carrying the identity component onto the connected component of x; since Gsˉ0 is the identity component by step 2.2, the orbit of x under Gsˉ0 is exactly the connected component of x. Hence the orbits of G0 on each geometric fibre are the connected components, as claimed.
