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.
Independence of the chosen algebraic closure
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. For two algebraic closures of , a chosen -isomorphism identifies the two geometric fibres after transport of scalars. In particular their isomorphism-invariant properties agree. No canonical choice of this identification is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The objects, hypotheses and conventions in the statement above.
A geometric point of a scheme is a morphism with algebraically closed. For a specified point , choose an algebraic closure , in the sense of def-algebraic-closure. In this page the geometric fibre at means Here is def-scheme-theoretic-fibre, and its affine charts extend as in lem-base-extension-field-coordinate-ring. The choice includes the embedding of ; no preferred algebraic closure or preferred isomorphism between choices is implied. (Geometric fibres and geometric points)
Assuming the Axiom of Choice, any two algebraic closures of a field are -isomorphic. No uniqueness of the isomorphism is asserted. (Assuming Choice, any two algebraic closures are base-isomorphic)
For and an -scheme , there is a canonical isomorphism It is functorial in and compatible with the induced maps of -schemes. (Iterated base change)
Proof
F2 supplies a base-field isomorphism under Choice. By F1 the two fibres are .
Base change the first fibre along and apply F3 to identify it with the second fibre. On affine charts the ring isomorphism is , whose inverse uses . Empty charts and the identity choice satisfy the same formulas. Thus the schemes are isomorphic after scalar transport, and all isomorphism-invariant properties agree, independently of the chosen isomorphism.
