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.

Localization of a presented divisor class group

Statement

Let S be a set, B⊆S, K an abelian group, and d:K→Z(S) a homomorphism. Let r be restriction to S∖B and put d′=r∘d. Then the natural sequence Z(B)→coker⁡(d)→coker⁡(d′)→0 is exact. Here coker⁡(d) denotes Z(S)/d(K), and the first map extends by zero and passes to the quotient.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Restriction r:Z(S)→Z(S∖B) is surjective with kernel the extensions by zero of Z(B) (Restriction of finite-support divisors).

[F2]

A surjective homomorphism r:A→D induces a surjection A/P→D/r(P) with kernel (ker⁡r+P)/P for every subgroup P (Quotienting a compatible surjection).

Given: The data in the statement.

Goal: Prove the stated cokernel sequence exact.

Proof

1.1F1F2given

Apply [F2] to A=Z(S), D=Z(S∖B), and P=d(K). Since r(P)=d′(K), the induced map is the displayed map of cokernels and is surjective.

2.1F1F2step 1.1∎

By [F1] and the kernel formula in [F2], its kernel consists exactly of classes represented by divisors supported in B. These are the image of Z(B), proving exactness.
