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.

Surface complete equicharacteristic formal fibres

Statement

Assume AC. For a complete equicharacteristic Noetherian local ring A and primes q⊆p, the formal fibre Ap^⊗Aκ(q) is geometrically regular over κ(q).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A complete equicharacteristic Noetherian local ring A and primes q⊆p of A.

[F1]

cor-complete-local-domain-finite-over-a-regular-power-series-ring. Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let (A,m) be a complete equicharacteristic Noetherian local domain of dimension d. Then there exists a coefficient field k⊆A and an injective local homomorphism k⟦X1,…,Xd⟧↪A whose image is a regular complete local subring over which A is module-finite. (A complete local domain is finite over a regular power-series ring)

[F2]

def-axiom-of-choice. The Axiom of Choice (AC) is the following statement. > Every family of nonempty sets has a choice function > (def-choice-function). Written out: for every set F all of whose members are nonempty, there exists a function g with domain F satisfying g(S)∈S for all S∈F. (The Axiom of Choice)

[F3]

def-dependent-choice. Let X be a set and let R⊆X×X be a binary relation on X. Call R entire on X when for every x∈X there is y∈X with xRy. The Axiom of Dependent Choice, written DC, is the following statement. (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an N-indexed chain)

[F4]

lem-surface-finite-completion-factors. Assume AC. For a finite map R→S of Noetherian rings and p∈Spec⁡R, Rp^⊗RS≅∏q∩R=pSq^. The finitely many factors use their maximal-adic completions. Thus formal fibres for finite extensions are factors of residue-field base changes of the original formal fibres. (Surface finite completion factors)

[F5]

lem-surface-generic-power-series-formal-fibres. Assume AC. For A=k[ ⁣[X1,…,Xn] ⁣][Y1,…,Ym] and K=Frac⁡A, every completed local generic fibre Ap^⊗AK is geometrically regular over K. (Surface generic power series formal fibres)

Proof

1.1F1given

Replacing A by the complete local domain A/q reduces the assertion to generic formal fibres: completion commutes with passing to the quotient, so the formal fibre at q of the original ring is the generic formal fibre of the quotient, and it suffices to treat q=0.

2.1F1F4step 1.1

For the complete local domain B=A/q, choose a finite regular power-series subring R⊂B. Put K=Frac⁡R, L=Frac⁡B and r=p∩R. The finite-completion-factor isomorphism Rr^⊗RB=∏pi∩R=rBpi^, tensored over B with L, identifies Bp^⊗BL as a direct-product factor of (Rr^⊗RK)⊗KL.

3.1F5step 2.1

The generic formal fibre of R is geometrically regular by the power-series supplier. Its base change to the finite field extension L/K remains geometrically regular: any finitely generated field extension of L is finitely generated over K. A direct-product factor is a localization at an idempotent, so it and all these field base changes are regular. Thus the chosen generic formal fibre of B is geometrically regular. This uses a product factor, never stability under arbitrary quotients.

4.1F2F3step 3.1∎

Hence the formal fibre Ap^⊗Aκ(q) is geometrically regular over κ(q) for every pair of primes q⊆p; the Axiom of Choice and the Axiom of Dependent Choice are inherited from the completion suppliers.

Remarks

  • The reduction to q=0 is the only place the quotient of the base by q is used; the finite-factor and power-series lemmas do the rest.
  • The quotient reduction is an equality of formal fibres; the finite extension step takes a direct-product factor of a field base change. Arbitrary quotients of regular rings need not be regular.
