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.

lem-regular-surface-reflexive-modules-and-codimension-one-lattices. Assume AC and DC. On a regular Noetherian surface a coherent reflexive module is locally free.

Proof
Induct on the number of blowups. For put modulo torsion and ; the reflexive-module supplier makes a vector bundle of rank on the regular surface, and is its determinant line, so the base case of the required map is the chosen equality .
Let be one more point blowup. On a standard chart of the blowup, the conormal presentation of the relative differentials presents with generator and relation (and ); hence is the exceptional differential line, equal to locally, and its stalk at the generic point of has length one over the exceptional discrete valuation ring.
At the torsion-free quotient is free of rank , and the image of in has full rank with quotient of length at most one, because that quotient is a quotient of of length one; under the generic identification is also the image lattice of inside the free lattice , with index .
Taking determinants of the lattices and over the valuation ring at gives multiplied by a scalar of valuation ; hence the top differential line is contained in along and equals away from , where is an isomorphism.
The codimension-one reflexive-extension criterion promotes this generic containment to a global generic-compatible inclusion ; composing it with the inductively constructed map and the point-blowup canonical transform yields the required generic-compatible map , completing the induction.
The Axiom of Choice and the Axiom of Dependent Choice are inherited from the cited suppliers; the lattice bound accommodates torsion in and does not assume a terse either/or determinant formula.
Remarks
- The only place where the characteristic enters is that the top-differential line and its determinant are computed by the lattice , not by a field trace.
- The bound is exactly the statement that one blowup can lose at most one differential lattice step.
