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.
A marked ideal is equivalent to its powers
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. For every marked ideal on a smooth -scheme and every integer ,
in the sense of Equivalence of marked ideals.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A marked ideal on a smooth -scheme and an integer . We use AC only through the associated-graded theorem in [F3].
The Axiom of Choice: assume AC for applying the associated-graded theorem to the regular local rings .
Order of an ideal sheaf at a point and Marked ideals and their support: is the largest with , and the support of is ; the zero ideal has order .
Smooth morphism of schemes, Geometrically regular algebras and geometrically regular fibres: since is smooth, every is regular local.
Under AC, associated graded ring of a regular local ring identifies with a polynomial algebra over the residue field, so it is a domain.
Addition and multiplication of marked ideals, clause (2): controlled transforms commute with products of marked ideals, including products with equal factors.
Equivalence of marked ideals: equivalence means equality of the initial supports, of the multiple test blow-ups, and of their induced supports, with the same ordered boundary.
Proof
Exact order of powers. Fix , put and let be its maximal ideal. If , then every positive power is zero and both orders are . Otherwise is finite and attained by [F1]. Choose ; its initial class in is nonzero. By [A1], [F2] and [F3], this associated-graded ring is a domain, so the initial class of is nonzero in degree . Thus , while gives the reverse inequality. Hence .
Equal supports. By step 1.1, if and only if . Therefore , including .
Equal multiple test blow-ups. Induct on the sequence length. At each stage , assume the two transforms are and . Step 1.1 gives equal supports for these marked ideals, so their admissible regular centers meeting with SNC agree. If is the exceptional equation for such a center, the controlled-transform product identity [F4] gives , so the next transforms again have this form and their supports agree. The base case is step 2.1; induction works in both directions, so the test sequences and all induced supports coincide. By [F5], the marked ideals are equivalent.
