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.
Enough injective abelian sheaves
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice, and let be a topological space. Then has enough injectives, every abelian sheaf on admits an injective resolution (Injective resolutions in an abelian category), and the embeddings below supply one injective resolution datum (Supplied injective resolution data) on the whole category : for every abelian sheaf the datum assigns one specific injective resolution built functorially from with no further selection.
Facts & Assumptions
is a locally small Grothendieck category (Abelian sheaves form a Grothendieck category).
Under AC every locally small Grothendieck abelian category admits a functorial monomorphism of each object into an injective object (Grothendieck abelian categories have functorial injective embeddings).
Under AC every locally small Grothendieck category has enough injectives and every object of it admits an injective resolution (Every Grothendieck category has enough injectives, and every object admits an injective resolution).
If a coaugmented complex is exact everywhere except possibly at its last term and is a monomorphism from the cokernel into an injective object, then composing the quotient map with extends the complex by one term and makes it exact at (One-step extension of a partial injective resolution).
A supplied injective resolution datum on a class of objects assigns to each object of that class one specific injective resolution, and this assignment is part of the input data (Supplied injective resolution data).
Proof
Given: The Axiom of Choice and a topological space .
By [F1] the category is a locally small Grothendieck category; applying [F2] and [F3], whose only hypothesis is AC, gives a functorial monomorphism into an injective object for every object of , and shows that has enough injectives and that every abelian sheaf admits an injective resolution.
Fix an abelian sheaf . Set and . Suppose a coaugmented complex has been constructed which is exact at every displayed term except possibly at , with all injective. Let for and . Put and , which is a monomorphism into an injective object by step 1.1. By [F4] the composite extends the complex by one term and makes it exact at ; all displayed terms of the extended complex are injective. [F4, step 1.1, construct]
Recursing the construction of step 2.1 over (each step uses only the already constructed complex, so no simultaneous choices are made) produces an injective resolution of : it is exact at because is a monomorphism, and exact at each by construction. [step 2.1, construct]
The recursion of step 2.1 is a rule depending only on the object : at every stage it applies the fixed functorial embedding of [F2] to the canonical cokernel of the previously constructed map, so it selects no resolutions, no embeddings and no representatives. Hence is one specific assignment of an injective resolution to each abelian sheaf, i.e. a supplied injective resolution datum on all of in the sense of [F5]. [F2, F5, step 2.1]
Together, step 1.1 gives enough injectives and that every abelian sheaf admits an injective resolution, step 3.1 gives the resolutions of this construction, and step 3.2 exhibits them as a single supplied functorial datum; the Axiom of Choice is used only through the functorial embedding [F2] and the corollary [F3], and nowhere else.
