Alphabeta MathHow 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.
Local Koszul Acyclicity Iff Regular Sequence
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. For a finite module over a Noetherian local ring, with and , is -regular if and only if its positive Koszul homology vanishes.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice) and the rings, finite sequences, modules, and local hypotheses stated in the claim. The declared prerequisite used here is Koszul Acyclicity Characterises Local Regular Sequences.
Proof
The forward direction is regular-sequence Koszul acyclicity.
Under the assumed AC, the reverse direction of the local criterion applies; together with the terminal quotient hypothesis it gives regularity. This is the exact use of Choice.
