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.
Existence and biduality from a projective embedding
Statement
Assume AC. Let be a projective scheme over a field , and fix a closed embedding . With , set Then is a dualizing complex. For every , lies in and canonical evaluation gives . No smoothness or CM hypothesis is needed here.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: and AC.
Projectivity over a field supplies a closed embedding into finite projective space (Projective morphisms before Proj).
Finite twisted locally free resolutions exist for coherent sheaves on (Finite twisted locally free resolutions on projective space); its affine charts are regular finite-dimensional polynomial rings (localisation and polynomial extension of regular rings).
The derived closed-immersion adjunction is Derived adjunction for finite rings and closed immersions, and the regular quotient's dualizing and biduality assertions are Dualizing complexes and coherent biduality for regular-ring quotients.
Proof
Choose the embedding in [F1]. Resolve by injective module sheaves and apply from [F3]. This constructs with its actual -action, rather than treating an ambient locally free resolution as a complex of -modules. On a standard chart , , and the derived complex corresponds to ; finite resolutions in [F2] verify this correspondence and its compatibility with localization.
The rings are regular of dimension , and the restriction of is invertible. Hence [F3] proves finite injective dimension, finite cohomology and homothety on . These affine opens cover . The finite ambient resolutions [F2] bound the cohomology degrees uniformly, and their local Hom cohomology sheaves are coherent, so and is dualizing in the sense of Dualizing complexes and the normalized dualizing sheaf on a projective CM scheme. For any bounded coherent , the same local argument gives bounded coherent duals and bidual evaluation is an isomorphism on this cover, hence globally. This proves existence and biduality before any use of duality on singular schemes. AC is used by the listed regularity and resolution suppliers.
