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.
Standard smooth presentations and locally standard smooth maps
Definition
Let be a commutative ring. A standard smooth presentation of an -algebra consists of integers , elements of the polynomial ring (The polynomial ring as finitely supported coefficient families on monomials) and an element such that as -algebras, and such that the Jacobian matrix of (Differentials of a polynomial quotient and the Jacobian cokernel) has a minor whose image in is a unit, that is, an invertible element. The integer is the relative dimension of the presentation. The case is allowed and is exactly a localisation of a polynomial ring, ; the case presents for , that is a localisation of itself.
For a homomorphism of commutative rings that is finitely presented as an -algebra (Finitely presented modules and finitely presented algebras) and a prime , the map is standard smooth at , or has a standard smooth presentation at , when there is such that admits a standard smooth presentation over . It is locally standard smooth when this holds at every prime of ; equivalently, when every point of has an affine open neighbourhood on which is presented by a single standard smooth presentation.
Two conventions are part of the definition. First, the invertible minor may be assumed to sit in the first columns: if a minor on columns is a unit, the automorphism of permuting the variables so that these become the first variables carries the presentation to one whose minor in the first columns is that unit, and the relative dimension is unchanged. Second, a further principal localisation can be absorbed into the presentation: adjoining a variable with the single equation to a presentation produces a standard smooth presentation of the localisation, the new equation contributing a diagonal entry that keeps a block minor invertible, and it changes and by the same amount, so that the relative dimension is again unchanged.
