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.
Resolution of singularities is functorial under smooth morphisms
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice).
Let be a field of characteristic zero, let be an integral finite-type -scheme and let be a smooth morphism of -varieties, with both and connected of finite type over (Smooth morphism of schemes, Integral schemes). Then the canonical resolutions of Resolution of singularities in characteristic zero are compatible with : the natural morphism is smooth and makes the square with and commute, and the identification is canonical. In particular a smooth morphism is resolved by the base change of the resolution of its target, and, for with image , the fibre of at is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice; a smooth morphism of -varieties of finite type over a field of characteristic zero; and the canonical desingularizations and of Resolution of singularities in characteristic zero.
Resolution of singularities in characteristic zero, proof steps 2.2–3.1: the canonical resolutions are compatible with smooth base change; the proof uses the earlier ambient-extension and marked-ideal smooth-commutation results, the marked-ideal construction independently of this consequence.
Smoothness survives base change and composition: smooth morphisms remain smooth under base change.
Proof
Apply the already proved smooth comparison [F1] to . It gives the canonical isomorphism over . Composing it with the first projection defines and makes the required square Cartesian, hence commutative. Naturality for composites and identities follows from the canonical comparisons in [F1].
The projection is the base change of , so it is smooth by [F2]. For , its fibre is by associativity of fibre products. Thus the base change resolves the source and has the stated fibres.
