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.
Log-smooth deformation functor over a toric Artin base
Definition
Let be a field, a sharp toric monoid, the completion of at the ideal generated by all monomials with , and its maximal ideal. The category has local Artinian -algebras with identified residue field as objects and local -algebra maps as arrows. The log base has underlying scheme and the log structure associated to the monoid chart induced by .
Fix and a proper log-smooth saturated morphism of relative dimension . For , write and let be the base change induced by . A log-smooth deformation of over is a proper log-smooth morphism of relative dimension , together with a specified isomorphism of log spaces over Two such deformations and are isomorphic when an isomorphism over preserves the log structures and satisfies . Thus the reduction includes a chosen identification, and isomorphisms preserve it. Its log-smooth deformation functor assigns to the set of isomorphism classes of log-smooth deformations reducing to . Smoothness of this functor means the lifting property: for every surjection in , every deformation over lifts to a deformation over . These definitions assert neither that lifts exist nor that the functor is smooth.
