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.
Projective Hilbert schemes represent all flat finitely presented families
Statement
Assume AC and DC. Let be any locally Noetherian scheme, possibly non-quasi-compact, let be projective of finite presentation in the convention of Projectivity via a coherent projective bundle, and let be relatively ample. For every fixed polynomial , with the test category and family conditions of Hilbert functor of flat finitely presented projective families, the functor is represented on all -schemes by a proper finitely presented scheme admitting a global closed immersion into for a coherent sheaf on . It carries a universal closed finitely presented flat family . If a specified global embedding induces , the representative has a global closed embedding in one (H-projectivity). The full functor is represented by , which is locally of finite presentation and need not be proper, quasi-compact, or of finite type. For every base change , including non-Noetherian , the pulled-back schemes and families represent the corresponding Hilbert functors of with on all -schemes. No global embedding or quasi-compactness of is assumed in the general assertion.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC and DC; a locally Noetherian base , a projective finitely presented with a global coherent-projective-bundle embedding, a relatively ample , and a polynomial .
Global projectivity means the coherent-projective-bundle convention in Projectivity via a coherent projective bundle. Its ambient fixed-polynomial Hilbert construction without quasi-compactness is Global Hilbert strata in a coherent projective bundle over a locally Noetherian base. Killing an ideal inside a flat family has a universal closed locus locally on a Noetherian base (Universal vanishing locus for a map into a flat projective family).
Over a Noetherian base with any chosen relatively ample polarization the representative is proper and finitely presented on all tests (Fixed-polarization Hilbert construction over a Noetherian base).
Families have effective descent and locally constant polynomial for every chosen relatively ample polarization (Effective descent and base change of embedded Hilbert families). Proper pushforward of a coherent sheaf is coherent on a locally Noetherian base, by applying Coherent higher direct images under proper morphisms on its Noetherian affine opens.
Proof
Choose the global embedding from [F1], and let be its auxiliary polarization. For every polynomial , [F1] provides a globally projective ambient representative and its universal flat family. On every Noetherian affine open of that representative impose vanishing of the map from the pulled-back ideal of to the universal family. The universal closed loci agree on overlaps and glue to a global closed subscheme . Their condition for every arbitrary test scheme is exactly that the family lie in , so represents the -polynomial- subfunctor, with its restricted universal family. Its ambient Plücker line is globally relatively very ample and its projective-bundle embedding is global.
Form with its universal family. By [F3], the -polynomial loci of every family on an arbitrary test scheme are open and closed. Hence the coproduct represents the full Hilbert functor, and its glued universal family pulls back to each test family scheme theoretically. On this universal family the -polynomial is also locally constant by [F3]. Its polynomial- locus is therefore an open and closed subscheme , representing exactly on all tests. This defines one global scheme and ideal, independently of any choices of local embeddings or powers of .
For each affine open , the ring of is Noetherian. The restriction represents precisely the Noetherian-base functor of [F2], so the two representatives have a unique isomorphism carrying their universal ideals to each other. These isomorphisms are compatible on overlaps by their common functor and uniqueness, not merely on points. Consequently is proper and of finite presentation: both properties are local on the base and hold on every by [F2]. In particular is quasi-compact, without asserting that or is quasi-compact globally.
Define a global line bundle on by , and restrict it to . On any affine in step 3.1, quasi-compactness implies that meets only finitely many components . Each intersection is open and closed and hence closed in its projective component, with the restricted relatively very ample. A finite disjoint union of these embeddings is a closed embedding into : the finitely many linear closed subspaces in this projective bundle are pairwise disjoint, and the tautological line restricts to the corresponding tautological line on each. Thus itself is relatively very ample, with no local power and no uniform exponent needed. Let , coherent by [F3]. Its evaluation is onto globally since it is onto over every . The resulting map is a closed immersion: on each , the finite generating systems already defining the preceding embedding are included among the complete sections of , so on each section-nonvanishing chart their ratios generate the coordinate algebra; the additional complete sections preserve this surjectivity. Properness gives closed image. Closed immersion is local on the target, so these checks yield a global coherent-projective-bundle embedding.
If the specified embedding has and induces , step 1.1 already constructs its fixed- representative as a closed subscheme of the single Grassmannian with free source . Its exterior power is free of a fixed finite rank, so its global Plücker embedding lies in one . Finally for every and every -scheme , the canonical identification identifies the embedded family conditions, their polarizations, and fibre polynomials. The original representing bijections therefore show that each represents the base-changed subfunctor, with the pulled-back universal family, and the coproduct represents the full base-changed functor. No Noetherian property of or enters this argument.
