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.
Restriction of finite-support divisors
PDF p. 13: Divisibility of the normalization Picard group
Statement
Let be a set and . Write for the abelian group of integer-valued functions on with finite support. Restriction to gives an exact sequence , where the first map extends functions by zero.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A set and a subset .
Goal: Prove the displayed sequence exact.
Proof
Extension by zero and restriction preserve finite support and addition. Every finitely supported function on extends by zero to , so restriction is surjective.
A finitely supported function on restricts to zero on exactly when its support is contained in ; it is then the extension by zero of its restriction to . This proves exactness.
