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.

A valuation overring has a center

PDF p. 4: Finite valuative dimension

Statement

Let D be a domain and V a valuation overring in K=Frac⁡(D). Then V is local, meaning it has a unique maximal ideal m, and if q=m∩D, the inclusion D⊆V extends to a local inclusion Dq⊆V. Here local means that the inverse image of the maximal ideal of V is the maximal ideal of Dq.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A domain D and a valuation overring V in its fraction field.

Goal: Construct its center q and the stated local inclusion.

[F1]

For each nonzero x∈K, either x or x−1 lies in V. Valuative dimension and degreewise bounded towers

Proof

1.1F1givenalgebra

Let m be the set of nonunits of V. If a is a nonunit and v∈V, then va cannot be a unit, since an inverse of va would give an inverse of a. If nonunits a,b have nonzero sum, [F1] gives either a/b∈V or b/a∈V when both are nonzero; in the first case a+b=b(1+a/b) is a nonunit, and similarly in the second. The zero cases are immediate. Thus m is a proper ideal, and every element outside it is a unit. It is consequently the unique maximal ideal; it is prime because a product that is a unit has unit factors.

2.1givenstep 1.1algebra∎

Its inverse image q in D is prime. Every element of D∖q maps to a unit of V, so the inclusion extends by fractions to Dq→V. It is injective because both rings embed in K. A fraction a/s with s∉q maps into m exactly when a∈q, proving locality.
