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 be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field and residue field , and let be a smooth separated finite-type -group scheme (Group schemes over a base scheme) whose generic fibre is an abelian variety (Abelian varieties over a field). Then is an open -subgroup scheme of , smooth, separated and of finite type over , with geometrically connected fibres. On each geometric fibre of , the orbits of are exactly the connected components of that fibre.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC and DC, a DVR with fraction field and residue field , a smooth separated finite-type -group scheme with abelian generic fibre , and the identity component of the special fibre.
is an abelian variety, hence connected; is a smooth finite-type -group scheme with finitely many connected components, the identity component being open and a subgroup scheme (Abelian varieties over a field, Group schemes over a base scheme).
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).
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 -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
The set is open in : by [F1], has finitely many connected components, so is closed in . Since the special fibre is closed in , this complement is closed in . Its complement in is exactly , which is therefore open. It is an open subscheme, hence smooth, separated and of finite type over . Its generic fibre is the connected abelian variety and its special fibre is , connected; by [F2] the special fibre is geometrically connected and the generic fibre is geometrically connected, so the fibres over the two points of are geometrically connected.
The multiplication, inverse and unit of restrict to : the multiplication maps into and into because is a subgroup scheme; hence the preimage is an open subscheme containing both and . The complement of this preimage inside the open subscheme is closed with empty generic and special fibres, hence empty by [F3]; therefore restricts to . The same argument with the inverse and the unit section (whose value at the closed point lies in ) shows that is an -subgroup scheme of .
Let be a geometric point of . If lies over the generic point, is connected by [F2]; if lies over the closed point, and because the identity component of a smooth group scheme over a field is geometrically connected by [F2]. Thus is the identity component of the smooth group .
On a geometric fibre , translation by a point is an isomorphism carrying the identity component onto the connected component of ; since is the identity component by step 2.2, the orbit of under is exactly the connected component of . Hence the orbits of on each geometric fibre are the connected components, as claimed.
