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 principal localization identifies its spectrum with a distinguished open

Statement

For f∈A, the morphism induced by A→Af identifies Spec⁡(Af) with the open locally ringed subspace D(f) of Spec⁡A.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A commutative ring A and f∈A.

[F1]

The map on prime spectra induced by A→Af is a homeomorphism onto D(f) (The spectrum of a principal localisation is the distinguished open D(f)).

[F2]

The structure-sheaf sections on a distinguished open are the corresponding localizations (Sections and restrictions on distinguished opens of an affine scheme).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1F1

By [F1], the underlying map is a homeomorphism from Spec⁡(Af) onto D(f).

1.2F2algebra

On D(g)⊆D(f) the relevant section rings are (Af)g/1 and Ag, canonically isomorphic and compatible with restrictions.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2∎

The basic opens cover D(f), so the preceding identifications give an isomorphism of locally ringed spaces.

Dependency tree · two levels

12 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.
