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 smooth point has the exact finite-type excision pair
PDF p. 7: Lemma2.9: smooth-point supported purity
Statement
Assume AC and the completed universe bounds. Let be a qcqs -scheme of pure finite dimension , where is perfect, and let be a closed point at which is smooth. There is an affine smooth separated finite-type neighbourhood of , pure of dimension . Its residue field is finite separable over , and has pure codimension . Both and are qcqs. For every , actual EM Nisnevich descent gives the support-excision equivalence , compatibly with support-to-global maps. Here is the unshifted cohomological restriction fiber, not its spectral shift.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Exactly the hypotheses above; smooth at means smooth on some open neighbourhood, with the usual locally finite-presentation condition.
Goal: Verify the actual geometric and descent hypotheses before applying a classical purity theorem.
Article scheme conventions and Motivic and filtered K theory with support give qcqs and support conventions. Elmanto–Morrow motivic complex input gives derived Nisnevich descent on this category. Open excision for a descent theory is the conditional excision theorem.
External finite-type dimension, rational-point and etale-fiber inputs supplies finite-type dimensions, transcendence-degree dimensions of domains, and finite closed-point residue fields. Smooth finite-type schemes are regular Noetherian, with locally constant relative dimension.
Proof
Choose an affine open in the smooth neighbourhood containing and shrink within its relative-dimension stratum. It is smooth separated finite type over , pure of some dimension . In the usual finite-type setting, purity of and [F2] give . The same conclusion holds if only qcqs is assumed: let be the reduced irreducible component through the chosen local smooth component, with function field . Its finite-type nonempty open has dimension . Every affine coordinate domain on is a subalgebra of ; any finite strict prime chain in it remains strict in some finitely generated -subalgebra, by choosing one witness for each strict inclusion. That subalgebra has dimension at most . Every finite specialization chain in lies in an affine open containing its most special point. Hence , while its open of dimension gives the reverse inequality. Purity of gives , so . Denote the resulting neighbourhood by .
Since is closed in , [F2] gives finite ; perfectness makes it separable. Thus both and belong to the smooth separated finite-type category, and the dimension formula gives codimension . The open is quasi-compact because is Noetherian. To prove quasi-compact without imposing global Noetherianness, take any open cover of it. Together with it covers quasi-compact , so finitely many members plus suffice. Finitely many members also cover quasi-compact . These two finite selections cover . Quasi-separatedness is inherited by open subschemes.
The two opens and cover , with intersection . They form a Nisnevich two-open cover, and all four objects are qcqs by step 2.1. Apply the actual derived Nisnevich descent of [F1] and then its conditional excision theorem. This supplies exactly the claimed restriction-induced support equivalence and support-to-global compatibility for every nonnegative weight.
