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.
Prime ideals of a localization are exactly the primes disjoint from the denominator set
Statement
Let be a commutative ring, let be a multiplicative subset, and let be the localization map. Then contraction along induces an inclusion-preserving bijection . Its inverse sends to .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A commutative ring , a multiplicative subset , and the localization map .
Every localization map induces a spectrum map by contraction (A ring map induces a contraction map on prime spectra).
Primes of the localization correspond exactly to primes of disjoint from (Primes of a localization avoid the denominator set).
Proof
By [L1], contraction along gives a map from to .
The localization-prime correspondence [L2] says that this map lands exactly in the primes disjoint from , and that extension and contraction are inverse inclusion-preserving bijections on that subset.
Therefore is identified with the primes of that avoid the denominator set.
