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 schemes are contravariantly equivalent to commutative rings
Statement
For commutative unital rings , the assignment gives a natural bijection Consequently is a contravariant equivalence from commutative rings to affine schemes, with quasi-inverse global sections.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Commutative unital rings and a morphism .
Global sections of an affine spectrum recover its ring (Global functions on Spec A recover A).
A ring map gives a morphism of affine spectra (The map of affine spectra induced by a ring homomorphism), and its stalk maps are local (The stalk maps induced by a ring map are local).
Proof
By [F2], every ring map induces a locally ringed-space morphism .
A morphism gives a global-sections map using [F1].
Locality determines its point map by contraction and localization determines each basic-open section map, so .
The constructions of steps 1.1--2.1 are inverse and natural; global sections is the quasi-inverse.

14 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.
