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.
A proper geometrically integral affine scheme is a point
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. A proper geometrically integral affine finite-type -scheme is . Every morphism from a proper geometrically integral finite-type -scheme to an affine -scheme factors through a -rational point. In particular a positive-dimensional abelian variety is not affine.
Facts & Assumptions
Under AC, for proper geometrically integral . (Global functions on proper integral schemes form a finite extension of the base field)
Global sections recover the ring of an affine scheme, and morphisms into an affine scheme correspond to ring maps on global sections. (Global functions on Spec A recover A, Morphisms to an affine scheme and global sections)
An abelian variety is proper and geometrically integral. (Abelian varieties over a field)
Proof
Given: AC and proper geometrically integral of finite type over .
If is affine, [F1] and [F2] identify with as a -algebra. Taking spectra gives .
For an arbitrary affine target , a -morphism corresponds by [F2] to a -algebra map . That map defines a -rational point of , and naturality in [F2] gives the desired factorization through . By [F3], an affine abelian variety would be a point by step 1.1, so a positive-dimensional abelian variety cannot be affine. AC is used precisely through [F1].

37 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.
