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.
Fixed-multidegree forms define maps from products to projective space
Statement
Let be bihomogeneous forms of the same bidegree on , with no common zero there. They define a morphism to by .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Nonnegative integers , the page's algebraically closed field , and forms of bidegree with no common zero.
Proof
Replacing by multiplies every by , a common nonzero scalar. Thus the projective point is well defined.
Use the closed Segre model of the product from cor-projective-variety-product-exists, with coordinates . On its chart , both and are nonzero. Put and form for every . These have common bidegree . Each of their monomials has factors among the -variables and among the -variables; pair those factors to write it as a product of coordinates . Thus each is the restriction of a homogeneous degree- polynomial in the Segre ambient coordinates. On this chart the common multiplier is nonzero, so the have no common zero and .
The charts cover the constructed projective variety. On each chart step 2.1 supplies an actual tuple of homogeneous polynomials in its ambient projective coordinates, of one common degree and with no common zero there. On overlaps the tuples give the same point by step 1.1, so they satisfy the cross-multiplication compatibility of def-morphism-to-projective-space-homogeneous-coordinates. That definition now applies directly and proves the morphism assertion. It includes or ; when both are zero, the nonzero constant tuple gives a constant morphism, and factors cause no change.

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
