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.

Finite free map kernels over a coherent structure sheaf are locally finite type

Statement

Let (X,A) be a ringed space whose structure sheaf A is coherent in the sense that every finite tuple of its local sections has a locally finite-type relation sheaf. For all finite integers p,q≥0 and every A-module morphism Φ:A⊕p→A⊕q, the kernel sheaf ker⁡Φ is locally of finite type.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A ringed space (X,A) with coherent structure sheaf and finite integers p,q≥0.

[F1]

Coherent module sheaves on complex manifolds: coherence of A means that every finite tuple of sections of A has a locally finite-type relation sheaf.

[F2]

Kernel sheaves are objectwise, while cokernels and images are sheafified: the kernel sheaf of a module morphism is the subsheaf whose sections are objectwise kernels.

[F3]

A sequence of abelian sheaves is exact exactly when it is exact on every stalk: equality and exactness of the relevant sheaf maps can be checked on every stalk.

Proof

1.1F1F2givenconstruct

Induct on the target rank q. If q=0, then ker⁡Φ=A⊕p, generated by its p standard sections (and equal to zero if p=0). If q=1, the images of the p standard sections are a finite tuple in A, and [F1] says its relation sheaf, which is ker⁡Φ by [F2], is locally of finite type.

2.1step 1.1givenconstruct

Assume q≥1 and the result for target rank q. Let Φ:A⊕p→A⊕(q+1), and let π:A⊕(q+1)→A⊕q drop the first coordinate. By the induction hypothesis, around any fixed x∈X the sheaf ker⁡(πΦ) has finitely many generating sections s1,…,sr whose germs generate every stalk on one neighborhood V of x.

Since Φ(si) lies in ker⁡π=A⊕0⊕q, write Φ(si)=(hi,0,…,0) with hi∈A(V). By [F1], after shrinking V the relation sheaf of (h1,…,hr) is generated on V by finitely many sections t(1),…,t(m)∈A(V)⊕r. For each ℓ, define σℓ=∑i=1rti(ℓ)si. Then Φ(σℓ)=0 because ∑iti(ℓ)hi=0.

For any y∈V and any germ v∈(ker⁡Φ)y, step 2.1 gives v=∑ici(si)y for some germs ci∈Ay. The first coordinate of Φy(v)=0 says ∑ici(hi)y=0, so (ci)i lies in the relation stalk generated by the ty(ℓ). Hence v is an Ay-linear combination of (σℓ)y. Thus these finitely many sections generate every kernel stalk on V; [F2] and [F3] identify the resulting subsheaf with ker⁡Φ, proving local finite type.

Remarks

The target-rank induction is the sheaf version of reducing a map into A⊕(q+1) to its projection into A⊕q and one scalar relation map. The proof above uses stalks only to verify the generated kernel; it does not use a diagram as a proof.

The projection used in the induction is recorded by the commutative diagram

A©pA©(q+1)A©q©¼±©¼

Here the diagonal map is the target-rank-q map whose kernel is generated by the induction hypothesis; the vertical map drops the first coordinate. The diagram fixes the map directions and adds no premise to the proof.
