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.
Degree-zero sheaf cohomology is global sections
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice, let be a topological space, and let be sheaf cohomology computed from the supplied functorial injective resolution datum on (Sheaf cohomology as right derived global sections). Then for every abelian sheaf on there is a canonical isomorphism natural in ; it identifies with the kernel of .
Facts & Assumptions
is the zeroth right derived object of relative to the supplied datum , and is functorial in (Sheaf cohomology as right derived global sections).
For an additive left exact functor and a supplied injective resolution datum on a class , every carries a canonical isomorphism , natural in (The zero-th right derived functor of a left exact functor recovers the functor).
is additive and left exact (Global sections of an abelian sheaf).
AC implies DC in ZF (AC implies DC implies countable choice).
assigns to every abelian sheaf on a specific injective resolution, and has enough injectives (Enough injective abelian sheaves).
Proof
Given: The Axiom of Choice, a topological space and an abelian sheaf on .
By [F4] the Axiom of Choice gives the Axiom of Dependent Choice in ZF, which is the hypothesis under which [F2] and the comparison theorems for right derived functors are stated.
By [F3] the functor is additive and left exact, and by [F5] the supplied datum assigns a specific injective resolution to every abelian sheaf on , so lies in the domain of . Hence the hypotheses of [F2] are met by , the datum and the object .
Applying [F2] gives a canonical isomorphism , using the identification of [F1]; the isomorphism is natural in because [F2] provides a natural isomorphism of functors. [F1, F2, step 1.2]
Spelling out the derived object, is the zeroth cohomology of the complex [F1], that is the kernel of ; the isomorphism of step 2.1 is the composite of the canonical map coming from the exactness of with its inverse, so the identification with the kernel is the canonical one. [F1, F3, step 2.1] ∎
