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.
Two-variable affine extension before hypercompletion
PDF p. 11: Lemma 5.3: ordinary binary extension of perfect Chern homotopies
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice and compatible site and universe bounds, including in the scheme-data universe. Let be a prime field and . Let be the actual perfect K-space of for a commutative -algebra , and let include smooth finitely presented -algebras into all commutative -algebras. Put , with the fixed realization and cohomological shift of the supplied coefficient functor. Restriction induces an equivalence of unpointed natural-transformation spaces In particular a homotopy between two specified natural two-variable operations on smooth affines extends to the corresponding operations on all affines. For operations obtained from affine restriction by the supplied ordinary sheafification and affine-basis extension, the same homotopy gives a homotopy on all qcqs -schemes with target the original . This applies to sums, source addition and cup-product composites of supplied operations. It does not replace by its hypercompletion.
Facts & Assumptions
Assume The Axiom of Choice and the separate size bounds in the Statement. The prime field is a field in the sense of Field; prime means that it has no proper subfield. A scheme over includes its structural morphism to , as in Schemes and morphisms over a base, and qcqs has the meaning in Quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes. Choice and the size bounds are inherited by the K-space, coefficient, Kan-extension and site constructions used in both proof steps.
K-stack mapping spaces and extension from smooth affine schemes supplies the coherent space-valued counit equivalence , with left Kan extension. Source-specific non-A¹ motivic spectrum framework and hypotheses supplies the presentable categories, mapping spaces and coherent colimits in use. Functors of algebras here are covariant, equivalently presheaves on affine schemes.
Coherent extension of Chern-target operations from smooth affines supplies the actual Nisnevich, hence Zariski, coefficient sheaf , its fixed realization and shift, and the affine-basis right Kan extension to qcqs schemes, including nonseparated ones. The complexes and their original values have the meaning of Motivic complexes and cohomology. The extension uses ordinary space-valued sheafification and its source unit before any optional hypercompletion.
Affine fibre products are spectra of tensor products identifies affine products with tensor products and supplies the tensor coproduct property. Smoothness survives base change and composition supplies smoothness under base change and composition. In particular two smooth finitely presented -algebras have a smooth finitely presented tensor product over .
Source record 0 imports the pointwise comma-category formula for space-valued left Kan extension, the cofinality criterion by contractible comma categories, and commutation of sifted colimits of spaces with finite products. A nonempty indexing category is sifted here when its diagonal into its square is cofinal. It also supplies left exactness of ordinary sheafification on a Grothendieck site. These categorical results are used under the fixed size bounds, not replaced by the corresponding statements for sets.
Proof
Given: and the assumptions in the Statement.
Goal: Extend a specified two-variable homotopy without changing coefficient values.
For an -algebra , let be the category whose objects are smooth finitely presented -algebras with a map , and whose arrows commute with that map. It is nonempty since is an object. For , the tensor product , mapped to by , is a coproduct in by [F3]. It is still smooth finitely presented: its spectrum is the affine product, whose projection is smooth by base change and whose structure map is smooth by composition; the tensor of two finite presentations is a finite presentation. The comma category from to the diagonal has the initial object given by the two tensor inclusions. Its nerve is contractible. Thus [F4] makes this diagonal cofinal and sifted. By the pointwise formula and finite-product commutation in [F4], the counit for the product is the composite equivalence , the last equivalence being [F1]. These are the natural counits, so the equivalence is natural in . The Kan adjunction now gives exactly the displayed equivalence of mapping spaces into . It transports paths between the specified endpoints, not merely their objectwise component equalities.
Apply step 1.1 to the two given affine operations and their smooth-affine homotopy. Extend that one path using the same affine-basis right Kan extension and source unit as [F2]. Right Kan extension is computed by limits, which preserve products: the limit of a diagram of pairs is a pair of compatible cones, equivalently the product of the two limits. Ordinary sheafification also preserves finite products by [F4]; hence its source unit on is the product of the two units on . The target is the original sheaf by [F2]. Consequently the extended path has exactly the claimed endpoints on the ordinary sheafified source and, after its unit, on every global perfect K-space. Extension and restriction are functors, so they preserve composition and the supplied natural sums, source addition and coefficient cup products in those endpoints. This argument applies to the corresponding extended operations specified in the Statement; it does not assert that arbitrary nonaffine operations are determined merely by equality of affine components. The affine-basis formula in [F2] includes nonaffine intersections on nonseparated qcqs schemes. Thus the conclusion holds in the full stated scope before hypercompletion.
External input
Source record 0 supplies only the categorical inputs in [F4]. The affine K-space left Kan extension and the actual coefficient sheaf and affine-basis extension are used through [F1] and [F2]. Step 1.1 proves the finite-product application locally. This is a locally authored lemma, with no claim to a literature proof of the whole statement.

Cofinality is tested by contractible comma categories. Left Kan extensions from full subcategories are computed by the indicated slice colimits. Sifted colimits of spaces commute with finite products. Ordinary space-valued sheafification on a Grothendieck site is a left-exact localization.
Hypotheses: Small indexing diagrams in compatible universes; space-valued functors and a full subcategory for the pointwise Kan extension. Sifted means nonempty with cofinal diagonal. For sheafification use a small site with a Grothendieck topology.
Reading limits: Read the live author PDF extraction at the cofinality theorem and its proof, the pointwise Kan-extension definition and existence lemma, the sifted definition and finite-product statements with their displayed proof, and Proposition 6.2.2.7 with its displayed proof. The application to I_A and the product K-space is proved here. Earlier categorical foundations and sheafification construction are imported, not reconstructed.
