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.

Canonical pullback is surjective after blowing up a rational singular point

Statement

Assume AC and DC. For a nonregular rational normal local surface domain in the permitted regular-base dualizing setting, let f:X→Spec⁡A be its ordinary point blowup, E its exceptional divisor and I=OX(1). Then H1(X,ωX⊗In)=0 for n≥0 and the canonical evaluation f∗ωA→ωX is surjective. The assertion localizes to closed rational singular points on a projective normal modification of the same regular base.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A nonregular rational normal local surface domain (A,m,κ) in the permitted regular-base dualizing setting, its ordinary point blowup f ⁣:X→Spec⁡A, the exceptional divisor E and the tautological ideal I=OX(1).

Proof

1.1F3given

The blowup helper gives that X is normal, that E is a projective pure Cohen--Macaulay curve with H0(E,OE)=κ, that L=I∣E is very ample with H1(E,Ln)=0 and H0(E,Ln)=mn/mn+1 for n≥0, and that deg⁡κL=dim⁡κm/m2−1, which is at least two because A is not regular.

2.1F5step 1.1

The conormal of E is L, so Cartier adjunction gives ωE=ωX∣E⊗L−1, that is ωX∣E=ωE⊗L; since I=OX(1)=OX(−E), the twist ωX(n)=ωX⊗In restricts to ωX(n)∣E=ωX∣E⊗Ln=ωE⊗Ln+1.

3.1F4F6step 1.1step 2.1

For every n≥0 the twist Ln+1 is globally generated, and degree additivity gives deg⁡κLn+1=(n+1)deg⁡κL>0, so Ln+1 is nontrivial; the CM-curve supplier therefore gives H1(E,ωE⊗Ln+1)=0.

4.1F10step 2.1step 3.1

Twisting the ideal sequence 0→OX(−E)→OX→OE→0 by ωX⊗In uses OX(−E)=I to produce 0→ωX(n+1)→ωX(n)→ωX(n)∣E→0; its long exact sequence shows that H1(ωX(n)) injects into H1(E,ωX(n)∣E)=0 whenever H1(ωX(n+1))=0, and Serre vanishing makes H1(ωX(n))=0 for all large n, so downward induction gives H1(X,ωX⊗In)=0 for every n≥0.

5.1F4F7step 2.1step 4.1

Rationality of A makes the trace f∗ωX→ωA an isomorphism and produces the adjoint evaluation f∗ωA→ωX; the case n=0 of the sequence in step 4.1 together with H1(ωX(1))=0 shows that H0(ωX)→H0(E,ωX∣E) is surjective, while ωX∣E=ωE⊗L is globally generated, so the global evaluation H0(ωX)⊗OX→ωX restricts onto ωX∣E and its cokernel restricts to zero on E.

6.1F9step 5.1

That cokernel is coherent and vanishes away from E, where f is an isomorphism and the evaluation is the tautological identification of the localized canonical module; since it also restricts to zero on E, the cokernel itself is zero and the canonical evaluation f∗ωA→ωX is surjective.

7.1F1F2F8step 6.1∎

At a closed rational singular point of a projective normal modification of the same regular base the identical argument applies to the localized ordinary point blowup, the rational trace identifications being compatible by the composition statement for regular-base traces; the Cartier-curve pairing and its one-dimensional residue normalization are unchanged, and the Axiom of Choice and the Axiom of Dependent Choice are inherited from the cited suppliers.

Remarks

  • Nonregularity is used only to make deg⁡κL≥2, which makes every positive power of L nontrivial.
  • The surjectivity is proved by Nakayama along the exceptional curve plus the isomorphism away from it.
