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.

Proof
The blowup helper gives that is normal, that is a projective pure Cohen--Macaulay curve with , that is very ample with and for , and that , which is at least two because is not regular.
The conormal of is , so Cartier adjunction gives , that is ; since , the twist restricts to .
For every the twist is globally generated, and degree additivity gives , so is nontrivial; the CM-curve supplier therefore gives .
Twisting the ideal sequence by uses to produce ; its long exact sequence shows that injects into whenever , and Serre vanishing makes for all large , so downward induction gives for every .
Rationality of makes the trace an isomorphism and produces the adjoint evaluation ; the case of the sequence in step 4.1 together with shows that is surjective, while is globally generated, so the global evaluation restricts onto and its cokernel restricts to zero on .
That cokernel is coherent and vanishes away from , where is an isomorphism and the evaluation is the tautological identification of the localized canonical module; since it also restricts to zero on , the cokernel itself is zero and the canonical evaluation is surjective.
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 , which makes every positive power of nontrivial.
- The surjectivity is proved by Nakayama along the exceptional curve plus the isomorphism away from it.
