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.
Cech cohomology of line bundles on the projective line
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice, inherited from sheaf cohomology.
For , let have standard frames on and with on the overlap, where and . Then and for . For , restrictions to of global sections on , written in the frame , are precisely the polynomials of degree at most ; for , has Laurent basis .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice), with the two standard affine charts, an integer , the line-bundle transition , and sheaf cohomology with the supplied injective resolution datum.
Under the assumed Axiom of Choice inherited from the definition of sheaf cohomology, the two-chart affine cover computes cohomology of a quasi-coherent sheaf on the separated scheme (Cech cohomology computes quasi-coherent cohomology on a separated scheme).
The sheaf is invertible, hence quasi-coherent, with the standard transition rule (Invertible sheaves).
Proof
The Cech complex for has with differential . Its kernel consists of polynomials that also lie in . If , these are exactly the span of ; if , the exponent ranges and are disjoint, so the kernel is zero. This proves the assertion for .
The degree-one cohomology is the Laurent-polynomial quotient The first summand spans exponents and the second spans . If , these ranges cover every integer, so the quotient is zero. If , the missing exponents are exactly , which gives the stated basis and dimension . The Cech complex has no degree above one, so for .

21 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.
