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.
Composition at points in the domain of a rational group action
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let be algebraically closed, a smooth connected algebraic group, and an integral separated variety. A rational action means a rational map satisfying the action identities as rational maps, whose induced maps are birational automorphisms for every . Write only when the total map is defined at . If and are defined, then is defined and equals .
Facts & Assumptions
Rational maps to separated schemes agree wherever both representatives are defined; their representatives glue to a maximal open domain. The graph of a morphism to a separated scheme is closed. (Rational maps of integral finite-type schemes)
Group multiplication and inverse are morphisms. (Abelian varieties over a field)
Closed rational points are dense in every reduced finite-type scheme over an algebraically closed field. (Over an algebraically closed field, every maximal ideal is an evaluation ideal)
Proof
Given: , , , and the two defined values in the statement.
Products here are integral: for affine integral coordinate rings , write two alleged zero-divisor factors in using finite linearly independent coefficients in . Specializing at each closed point of makes one factor zero because is a domain. The two vanishing loci are closed and cover the irreducible by [F3], so one factor is zero. This proves is a domain. Put , , and . The simultaneous domain of and is open and contains . The rational map equals by the action identity. The closure of the graph of is contained in the closed locus where its last two coordinates coincide. Over it is exactly the graph of : the latter is closed by [F1], contains the dense generic graph there, and that graph is dense in it because is integral. Consequently has the regular representative on .
The morphism given by is a section of . Its inverse image of is an open neighbourhood of . On that neighbourhood is a morphism. It agrees with on the dense open where itself is defined, since there ; this dense open intersects the neighbourhood because is integral. Thus it represents and extends its domain to . Its value is , as claimed.
