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.
Affine actions correspond to coordinate-ring coactions
Statement
Assume AC, inherited from the classical affine morphism correspondence. Let be a complex affine algebraic group, , and for an affine algebraic set . Algebraic left actions on correspond bijectively to unital algebra maps satisfying The correspondence is . Equivalently is a right-comodule algebra structure; and evaluating at gives the left coordinate-ring action . Here switches tensor factors. An equivariant morphism corresponds to an algebra map intertwining these coactions.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: as above and AC.
Product coordinate rings are tensor products, including for reducible sets (Products of affine algebraic sets have tensor-product coordinate rings).
Algebra maps are precisely pullbacks of affine morphisms; the published proof assumes AC through its Nullstellensatz supplier (Classical affine morphisms are contravariantly equivalent to coordinate-ring homomorphisms, The Axiom of Choice).
Action and comodule conventions are fixed in Classical complex affine algebraic actions and rational modules.
Proof
Pull back an action along and apply F1. The two action identities evaluated on give respectively and , precisely the displayed identities for . Conversely F2 reconstructs a unique morphism from an algebra map ; F1 and equality of pullbacks turn the displayed identities back into the action identities. Thus this is a bijection, also for the empty .
For this action define . Inversion is a morphism and , while . Pullback gives exactly , with the right-comodule identities asserted. Conversely a right-comodule algebra map reconstructs by F2 and its identities by F1; reconstructs the original left action. This also proves that conversion of either coaction to the other is inverse, since inversion squared is the identity.
Evaluation gives and , with and inverse . Finally is equivalent, by F2, to ; conversion in step 2.1 gives the corresponding identity. AC is used only through F2, not through any selection of a vector-space basis.
