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.
Local normalized point sequences spread at closed surface points
Statement
Assume AC and DC. Let be a normal integral surface locally of finite type over a permitted base and a closed point with two-dimensional local ring . Any finite normalized point-blowup sequence over spreads to the same finite sequence of normalized blowups at closed points of , unchanged off . Its localization over is the given sequence. If is projective over a Noetherian affine base, so is the spread sequence.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A normal integral surface locally of finite type over a permitted base, a closed point with two-dimensional local ring , and a finite sequence of normalized point blowups over .
def-axiom-of-choice. The Axiom of Choice (AC) is the following statement. > Every family of nonempty sets has a choice function > (def-choice-function). Written out: for every set all of whose members are nonempty, there exists a function with domain satisfying for all . (The Axiom of Choice)
def-dependent-choice. Let be a set and let be a binary relation on . Call entire on when The Axiom of Dependent Choice, written , is the following statement. (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain)
def-normal-surface-modification-and-normalized-point-blowup. Normal schemes. A locally Noetherian scheme is normal if every local ring is an integrally closed domain (def-normal-noetherian-ring). This is a local condition on the local rings and is checked on an affine open cover; it does not require the global section ring to be a domain. The empty scheme is normal vacuously. (Normal scheme modifications and normalized point blowups)
lem-eventual-global-generation-coherent-twists. Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice). Let be a Noetherian commutative ring (def-noetherian-ring-and-module) and let be a scheme projective over in the finite-dimensional H-projective convention (def-projective-morphism-pre-proj): the structure morphism (def-affine-scheme-spectrum) factors over (Eventual generation of coherent projective twists)
lem-finite-over-projective-noetherian-affine-base-is-projective. Assume AC. Let be Noetherian, let be projective over , and let be finite. Then admits a closed immersion into one relative projective space over , and is projective over . Finite compositions of projective morphisms between such schemes are projective. (Finite schemes over projective schemes are projective over a Noetherian affine base)
lem-relative-spec-glues-affine-algebras. Let be a scheme and let be an affine-locally module-associated sheaf of commutative unital -algebras, as in def-affine-local-quasi-coherent-algebra. Put for each affine open . (Glue relative spectra of affine-local algebras)
lem-surface-finite-type-normalization-finite. Assume AC and DC. Every integral finite-type algebra over a field or a complete equicharacteristic Noetherian local base has finite normalization, and so do its localizations. Integral schemes of finite type over these bases consequently have finite scheme normalization. (Surface finite type normalization finite)
thm-blowup-base-change-flat. Assume the Axiom of Choice as inherited from the relative Proj construction. Let be a flat morphism of schemes and a quasi-coherent ideal sheaf of finite type on . (Flat base change for blowups, and failure without flatness)
thm-integrality-commutes-with-localisation. Let be a homomorphism of commutative rings, let be multiplicative, and let . 1. If is integral over , then is integral over in . 2. If is integral over in , then some makes integral over . (Integrality and integral closure commute with localisation)
Proof
Each center of the given sequence over the local base lies on the closed fibre: the image of a closed point under the proper structure map is closed, and the fibre is finite type, so the residue field of the center is finite over .
Blow up globally and normalize; localization is flat, so the global blowup localizes to the local blowup by the flat blowup base-change theorem, and normalization commutes with localization because the affine integral closures are computed in the common function field. Hence the first step of the spread sequence localizes to the first step of the given sequence.
The next local centre is a point of the fibre over of the global model, with finite residue field over ; being a closed point of a finite-type fibre over a closed point, it is closed in the global model. Blow it up globally and normalize finitely, and continue inductively; away from all these operations are isomorphisms.
Projectivity is preserved by twisting the center ideal by an ample bundle and taking a finite generating family, followed by finite-over-projective normalization; the sequence is finite, so no limit or arbitrary-modification spreading theorem is used. The identifications agree with the given local sequence by flat base change and localization of integral closures, proving the claim; the Axiom of Choice and the Axiom of Dependent Choice are inherited from the cited suppliers.
Remarks
- Every centre is closed in the global model because it lies over the closed point x and has finite residue field.
- Normalization commutes with localization for the affine integral closures, which is what makes the local sequence match the spread one.
