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 first plus construction is separated and preserves stalks
Statement
Let be a presheaf on a topological space , and let be the canonical map of The plus construction for a presheaf. Then:
- is a separated presheaf.
- For every , the induced map on stalks is a bijection.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A presheaf on and its plus construction .
A section of is an equivalence class of germ-compatible local presentations over , and is represented by the single-chart presentation (The plus construction for a presheaf).
A separated presheaf is one in which equality of sections can be checked on an open cover (Separated presheaves).
Equality in a filtered colimit of sets is eventual at some smaller common stage (Two representatives in a filtered colimit of sets are equal exactly when they become equal at one common later stage).
Proof
Let and suppose there is an open cover such that for every . Fix , and choose with . Equality on means that the two restricted presentations determine the same germ at , so and have the same germ at . Since this holds for every , the two global presentations are equivalent by [F1]. Therefore , and is separated by [F2].
To prove surjectivity of , let . Choose an open neighbourhood of and a section representing . Pick a local presentation of with for some index . Then on the neighbourhood the section equals by [F1], so the germ is the image of the germ of at . Hence is surjective.
Now suppose in , where and . Represent and by sections and on neighbourhoods of . By [L1], equality of their images in the stalk of means that there exists an open neighbourhood of such that By [F1], equality of these two single-chart classes says exactly that and have the same germ at every point of , in particular at . Thus in , so is injective.
Steps 1.2 and 1.3 prove that every is bijective, and step 1.1 proves that is separated.

9 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
