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.
An associated sheaf restricts to an associated sheaf on an affine open
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice, inherited from the existence theorem for the associated sheaf. Let be a commutative ring with , let be an -module and put . Let be an affine open subscheme of with inclusion , and let be the corresponding ring map, so that (Affine schemes are contravariantly equivalent to commutative rings).
Then there is a canonical isomorphism of -modules natural in the -module . The open need not be a distinguished open of , and no quasi-coherence of is assumed.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice; a commutative ring ; an -module ; ; an affine open subscheme with corresponding ring map .
The distinguished opens form a basis of : every open set is a union of such, , and holds exactly when (The underlying space of an affine spectrum).
The open subscheme carries the restricted structure sheaf , so for every open (Affine open subschemes).
The inclusion of affine spectra is for ; on points , and for the map of sheaves is the localisation on (Affine schemes are contravariantly equivalent to commutative rings, The map of affine spectra induced by a ring homomorphism). Hence for every .
For a ring and one has , and the restriction along is the canonical localisation (Sections and restrictions on distinguished opens of an affine scheme).
For any ring and -module , the associated sheaf on satisfies naturally in and in : restrictions are the canonical localisations and an -linear map induces the components (The associated module sheaf exists, Sections of the associated sheaf on basic opens).
For a sheaf of modules on a space , sections over an open are determined by their restrictions to a cover of , and compatible families over any open cover glue uniquely (A sheaf on a topological space).
Axiom of Choice: every family of nonempty sets has a choice function (The Axiom of Choice).
Proof technique: direct; compare the two sheaves on the basis of distinguished opens of contained in , using the identification of the structure sheaves, and glue the resulting isomorphisms.
Proof
The family is a basis for the topology of : indeed, let be open and ; then is open in , so by [F1] there is with , and then , so and as required.
For the two sheaves have canonically identified sections: by [F3], , and by [F2] applied to this common open set the rings and are the same ring under restriction, so the inverse of that restriction is an isomorphism of -algebras, because [F4] identifies the two rings with the sections of the unique structure sheaf on this open set and both receive by the canonical map, which on the side is followed by localisation; hence induces an isomorphism of -modules , using [F5] on both sides.
General basis-gluing step: let be sheaves of modules on a space and let be a basis of , and suppose given for each an isomorphism of modules with for all , , ; then there is a unique isomorphism of sheaves restricting to on each : indeed, for open and the sections , , , are compatible, since for contained in and any basis element one has by the hypothesis and these cover , so [F6] gives equality on , and by [F6] they glue to a unique ; the maps are compatible with restrictions, because for the sections and agree after restriction to every basis element , hence on by [F6]; applying the same construction to the inverses produces maps , and both and are the identities because they agree on every basis element of and hence on by [F6], while uniqueness follows since a morphism is determined by its components on a basis cover by [F6].
The identifications of step 1.2 are compatible with restrictions along with : by [F4] and [F5] the restriction of is and that of is , both induced by the restriction maps of structure sheaves, and under the ring identifications of step 1.2 these two maps correspond because both structure-sheaf restrictions and are the restriction of the same sheaf along , so tensoring over with gives compatibility; the assignment is natural in because a map induces components and compatible with the 's by [F5].
Applying step 1.3 with , the basis of step 1.1 and the isomorphisms of steps 1.2 and 2.1 yields a canonical isomorphism of -modules restricting to on , whose inverse is the isomorphism of the Statement; it is natural in by the naturality recorded in steps 1.2 and 2.1, and the Axiom of Choice ([F7]) enters only through [F5], which supplies the two associated sheaves, while the comparison chooses nothing because the basis is determined by and and the identifications are canonical.
