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.
Universal family and open and closed Hilbert polynomial strata
Statement
Under the hypotheses of Projective Hilbert schemes represent all flat finitely presented families, there is a unique universal embedded family on the Hilbert scheme. Every family equals the scheme theoretic pullback of this family along a unique classifying map. Its polynomial- locus is the inverse image of the open and closed stratum . The representing scheme for the full functor, and its universal family, are intrinsically independent of the chosen polarization; the decomposition into polynomial strata uses that polarization. All these identifications are compatible with arbitrary base change.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses in the statement and AC and DC, inherited from the scheme, cohomology, and finite-module suppliers (The Axiom of Choice, The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain).
Representability, the fixed-polynomial components, and arbitrary base change are Projective Hilbert schemes represent all flat finitely presented families. Polynomial loci are open and closed by Effective descent and base change of embedded Hilbert families.
Proof
Apply the natural representing bijection to the identity morphism of . Its image is the universal family . Naturality identifies the image of every with its pullback, and bijectivity gives existence and uniqueness of the classifying map. The fixed-polynomial components represent exactly the polynomial subfunctors, so the image of a polynomial- open and closed locus lands in that component and its inverse image is precisely this locus.
The full functor is the set of embedded flat finitely presented families before any polarization is chosen. Hence two constructions made with different relatively ample bundles represent the identical functor; the natural identification gives unique mutually inverse scheme maps carrying universal families to each other. Its stratum labels can change because their polynomials are computed with the selected bundle. The same representing bijections and the canonical Cartesian identifications in [F1] prove compatibility of these intrinsic identifications, classifying maps, and families with every base change.

19 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.
