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.

polynomial local regularity fibre step

Statement

For a prime q⊂R[t] with contraction p⊂R, the closed fibre of Rp→R[t]q is k(p)[t] localized at a prime. That prime is either zero, giving a field, or generated by an irreducible polynomial, giving a DVR. In both cases the fibre is regular.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement.

[F1]

embedding dimension and regular local ring: A nonzero Noetherian local ring (A,m,k) is regular when dim⁡k(m/m2)=dim⁡A.

[F2]

Every Euclidean domain is a principal ideal domain: Every Euclidean domain is a principal ideal domain.

[F3]

For every field F, F[x] is a Euclidean domain with degree as Euclidean function: For every field F, the ring F[x] is a Euclidean domain with Euclidean function δ(f)=deg⁡f on nonzero polynomials.

Proof

1.1F3F2algebra

Localize first at R∖p, quotient by pRp, and then localize at the image of q. Fractions and the quotient relation identify the fibre with k(p)[t]qˉ. Over this field the polynomial ring is Euclidean and hence a PID.

2.1F1step 1.1algebra∎

In the PID k(p)[t], every nonzero prime is generated by an irreducible polynomial f and is maximal. Localization at it is a nonfield local PID with maximal ideal (f) and dimension one. Since f∉(f2) by cancellation, its cotangent space (f)/(f2) is one-dimensional over the residue field, so the localization is regular by [F1]; it is a DVR by the powers-of-f valuation. The zero-prime localization is the rational function field, which has zero maximal ideal and dimension zero and is regular by [F1].
