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.

PDF p. 13: Divisor presentation for supported degree six
Statement
Assume AC. Let be an integral finite-type curve over an algebraically closed field and let and have the endpoint conventions of The two supported cycle degrees on a curve. For a generator , if is not dominant then . Otherwise, with and , the extension is finite and In particular every boundary is a principal zero-cycle, including at singular points of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, and a generator as stated.
Goal: Calculate its boundary as a principal divisor.
The boundary is the difference of endpoint cycles with local quotient-length coefficients. The two supported cycle degrees on a curve
Length orders are additive, agree with quotient lengths for regular functions, and vanish on units. Length orders on an integral curve
Proper dominant morphisms of integral finite-type curves satisfy pushforward of principal divisors equals the divisor of the field norm, with residue-degree weights. External norm-divisor identity for integral curves
A closed subscheme of is proper over ; a dominant morphism of integral finite-type curves induces a finite function-field extension. Projective morphisms are proper, The dimension formula for affine domains, The Axiom of Choice
Closed points of finite-type schemes over the algebraically closed field have residue field . Residue fields and normalization point degrees
Proof
If the projection is not dominant, the image closure is a closed point . Reducedness makes factor through ; since , the only integral closed one-dimensional subscheme there is the whole affine line. Both endpoint lengths are one, so its boundary is zero.
Otherwise let be the reduced closure of in . It is an integral curve, proper and dominant over , with function field finite over . Its intersection with is . Admissibility implies in , so .
At , is a unit and the order of is the length of the quotient by ; at it is minus the length of the quotient by . Away from the endpoints in , is a unit. At infinity, with , it equals and is a unit. Endpoint projection is an isomorphism onto , so the residue-degree weights there are one. Consequently coefficient by coefficient.
Apply [F3] to and . Together with steps 1.1 and 2.1, and additivity of the divisor map, this proves both assertions.
