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.

A formal coordinate need not converge

Statement

There is an isomorphism of completed local rings O^P1,0→C⟦t⟧ on the projectively presented pointed curve (P1,0) whose defining series has radius of convergence zero. Thus formal coordinates need not arise from analytic coordinate germs.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The formal-coordinate convention and Aut O of this pair.

[F1]

Pointed curve with formal coordinates: a formal coordinate is a continuous isomorphism of completed local rings; it is not required to converge.

[F2]

Formal-coordinate change group Aut O: every series t+O(t2) is an allowed formal-coordinate change, and its inverse is obtained by recursively solving coefficients.

[F3]

A smooth curve has a formal coordinate at every point: the completion of the local ring at the chosen smooth point is a formal power-series ring; for P1 at 0, the standard affine coordinate z identifies it with C⟦z⟧.

[F4]

A holomorphic function equals its Taylor series throughout the largest centred disc in its domain: the Taylor series of an analytic germ has a positive radius of convergence.

Proof

1.1F1F2F3construct

On X=P1 at p=0, take the formal series f(t)=t+∑n≥1n!tn+1. The map τf:C⟦z⟧→C⟦t⟧ sending z↦f(t) and fixing constants is a continuous ring isomorphism: its linear coefficient is 1, so the coefficients of a compositional inverse are determined recursively as in [F2]. By [F3], it is a formal coordinate of the pointed curve.

2.1F1F4algebra∎

For any fixed complex t≠0, the ratio of consecutive term magnitudes in the tail is (n+1)∣t∣, which tends to infinity. In particular, the terms n!tn+1 do not tend to zero, so the series diverges at every nonzero t. Its radius of convergence is therefore zero, and by [F4] it cannot be the Taylor series of an analytic coordinate germ.
