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.
Noncompact localization with a proper fixed locus
Statement
Let , , act algebraically on a smooth separated finite-type complex variety of pure complex dimension . Assume has a finite -invariant affine open cover and that its fixed-point subscheme is proper. Use Borel equivariant cohomology and the normalized Borel–Moore groups whose smooth -dimensional fundamental class has degree . Let be the coordinate characters, , and for . The multiplicative set is generated by for all nontrivial characters. Throughout, denotes , the degree- piece of the localization of the total graded module, and localized cap products act on that total module. Write for its finitely many connected components, for their inclusions, , , and . Each is proper. The localized pushforward is , where is the localized fixed-inclusion isomorphism and is proper. For every homogeneous , it satisfies where is proper, is the zero-section Euler class with complex orientation, and are the complex-oriented fundamental classes, and division means multiplication by the localized inverse of . If is proper, equals the genuine proper pushforward. The construction is independent of the chosen finite invariant affine cover and is compatible with proper equivariant maps between such smooth varieties with proper fixed loci. For finite , the formula is the finite reciprocal-Euler sum; if , both sides are zero. A component with has denominator . Each term has degree , since has degree and has degree .

Proof
Given: The data in the Statement.
The map , its components , and the localized groups are intrinsic; the finite affine cover is only a hypothesis used to prove [F2]. Since is the same canonical proper pushforward for every such cover, its inverse is unique. Therefore the definition is independent of the cover.
Let be a proper -equivariant map between smooth separated finite-type varieties with finite invariant affine covers and proper fixed loci . Its restriction is proper, and the square formed by commutes because sends fixed points to fixed points. Functoriality of proper Borel–Moore pushforward gives . After localization both and are isomorphisms by [F2], so applying their inverses and then the proper traces proves . If itself is proper, then ; composing with proves .
Let . In a tubular neighborhood, the refined Gysin map is cap with the supported complex Thom class followed by restriction to ; associativity and naturality of cap therefore give , using the normalization in [F3]. Since , the self-intersection formula [F3] gives . Properness of makes invertible after localization by [F3], hence . Applying and summing the finitely many components yields the displayed formula. The degree is : division by the degree- Euler class lowers the localized cohomological degree of the insertion from to , and capping with the degree- fundamental class gives .
If , [F2] makes the localized Borel–Moore groups of zero and the component sum is empty. If is finite, every is a point and is the product of its nonzero tangent-character classes, so each summand is the stated reciprocal-Euler term. If , the normal bundle is rank zero and its complex-oriented Euler class is . These cases agree with the formula and the degree computation above.
Remarks
For a proper equivariant map as in step 2.1, is its restriction to the fixed loci, and the fixed-locus square is
The horizontal maps are closed inclusions and the vertical maps are the restrictions of ; step 2.1 proves the induced pushforward identity independently of the diagram.
The theorem applies to a stable ADHM quotient only after its separate mathematical construction proves smoothness, separatedness, a finite invariant word-slice affine cover, and properness of the partition fixed locus. Those ADHM-specific hypotheses are not assumed or proved here; the present result supplies the localization calculation once they are established.
