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 scheme-faithful action fixing a point has a faithful finite jet representation

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let G be a separated finite-type k-group scheme and X a reduced irreducible separated finite-type k-scheme, with P∈X(k). Suppose G acts scheme faithfully on X, or acts scheme faithfully by birational transformations, and the rational action's regular domain contains G×{P} with constant restriction P as a scheme morphism. Then G has a faithful finite-dimensional representation on OX,P/mPn+1 for sufficiently large n, and is affine. Scheme faithfulness means that, for every test scheme, only the identity group point acts as the identity transformation; pointwise faithfulness on k-points is insufficient.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

A finite-type group homomorphism with trivial scheme kernel is a closed immersion. (Finite-type algebraic group monomorphisms are closed immersions)

[F2]

The powers of the maximal ideal of a Noetherian local ring have zero intersection. (The Krull intersection is the (1−a)-torsion submodule, and it vanishes in the Jacobson-radical case)

Proof

Given: AC, G,X,P, and the scheme-faithful action with the stated regular fixed-point neighbourhood.

1.1givenconstructalgebra

Put Xn=Spec⁡(OX,P/mPn+1). Its product with G has underlying space G×{P} and hence lies in the regular domain. The fixed-point identity makes the point ideal stable and therefore makes its powers stable; the action restricts to G×Xn→Xn. Group identities restrict as well, yielding a representation ρn:G→GL⁡(Vn) with Vn=OX,P/mPn+1. Indeed after any affine base change the automorphism is a linear automorphism of the free module with basis Vn, so its matrix entries are regular and its determinant invertible. The spaces are finite dimensional because the local ring is Noetherian and its residue field is k. The kernels Hn are closed, descend with n, and stabilize to a closed subgroup H by the ascending chain condition on their ideal sheaves and a finite affine cover of G.

The subgroup H acts as the identity on every Xn. Cover H by affine charts Spec⁡A and choose an affine neighbourhood B of P in X. In the regular-action case the equalizer ideal of action and projection restricts to zero in A⊗k(OX,P/mPn+1) for all n. In the rational case, cover the fixed-point slice by principal open neighbourhoods D(d)⊂Spec⁡A×B in the regular domain. The specialization d(P)∈A is invertible after localizing at it, and these localizations cover H. On each such chart the equalizer ideal is generated by fractions with powers of d as denominators. This denominator is invertible in every finite jet ring, since its constant specialization is a unit. Thus identity on every jet forces each numerator to have zero image in A⊗k(OX,P/mPn+1) for all n, with A now that localized chart ring. Expand a numerator using finitely many k-linearly independent coefficients in A; its local-ring coefficients lie in every power of mP and are zero by [F2]. Since B is integral, its coordinate ring injects into OX,P, and tensoring over k preserves injectivity. The numerator is therefore zero already. Hence the action and projection agree on these nonempty source neighbourhoods. The integral X makes such a neighbourhood schematically dense after tensoring with any A: restriction of its coordinate rings embeds into A⊗kk(X). Consequently H acts identically as a scheme-valued birational transformation, and identically everywhere in the regular-action case by the same schematic density. Scheme faithfulness gives H=e.

For a stabilizing n, ρn has trivial scheme kernel and is a closed immersion by [F1]. The target is affine, so G is affine. The proof retains infinitesimal kernels and does not infer faithfulness from ordinary rational points. AC is inherited from [F1]–[F2].
