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 point-supported coherent quotient on a polydisc
A local complex analytic sheaf example; no physical model or empirical claim is made.
Example
Assume the full Axiom of Choice, let , and on a neighborhood of define the coherent quotient . Let be a coordinate polydisc supplied by the local coherent-acyclicity theorem for . For any nonempty coordinate polydisc containing , set Then is coherent and the evaluation morphism identifies it with the skyscraper sheaf at . Consequently

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Full AC, a polydisc with and , and the ideal sheaf generated by the coordinate functions.
The Axiom of Choice: full AC is assumed, as in the local coherent-acyclicity theorem.
Coherent module sheaves on complex manifolds: a coherent module is locally of finite type and has locally finite-type kernels for maps from finite-rank free modules.
Oka coherence and local coherent free resolutions: under full AC, is coherent, finite-rank free analytic modules are coherent, and cokernels of morphisms of coherent analytic modules are coherent.
Holomorphic functions on an open subset of defines holomorphicity by complex differentiability at every point; Holomorphic functions of several variables are smooth and their complex derivatives are holomorphic shows that a holomorphic representative is continuous and separately holomorphic. Hence A continuous separately holomorphic function is the sum of an absolutely convergent power series with Cauchy-integral coefficients on every smaller polydisc applies and gives its convergent multivariable power series on a smaller polydisc.
A skyscraper sheaf of abelian groups at a point: the skyscraper sheaf has sections on opens containing and zero on opens not containing ; its stalk is at and zero away from .
A morphism of sheaves is an isomorphism exactly when it is an isomorphism on every stalk: a morphism of sheaves is an isomorphism if its induced map on every stalk is an isomorphism.
Local coherent acyclicity on sufficiently small polydiscs: choose for the particular coherent module of this example. Then for on every nonempty coordinate polydisc . This choice of depends on .
Proof
For each , restriction of is the cokernel of the finite free map given by . Coherence of and closure under cokernels in [F2] make coherent. Define evaluation by on opens containing and by the unique zero section on opens disjoint from . Each maps to zero, so the morphism factors through .
On the stalk at , evaluation is surjective. Its kernel consists exactly of germs with zero constant coefficient. By [F3], write such a germ as on a smaller polydisc. Assign each multi-index to its least with and set . These subseries converge on every still smaller polydisc, and termwise regrouping gives . Thus the kernel is precisely , and the quotient stalk maps isomorphically to .
If and , choose with . The germ of is a unit at , so the quotient stalk is zero; [F4] says the target stalk is also zero. At , step 1.2 gives an isomorphism on stalks. Hence [F5] makes the induced morphism an isomorphism.
By [F4], , so step 2.1 gives . By step 1.1, ; apply [F6] with the chosen for to obtain for every .
