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.

Additivity of the supported coherent Euler class

PDF p. 15: Supported degree-zero dévissage

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice and the fixed suitable universes of the supplied supported perfect category. Let U,T,CT,AT be as in the preceding construction. The formula χT(E)=∑n∈Z(−1)n[Hn(E)] defines a homomorphism from the triangle Grothendieck group of hCT to G0(AT). The sum is finite. It sends a sheaf in degree zero to its sheaf class, and is compatible with forgetting support into the corresponding unsuppported groups on U.

Facts & Assumptions

[A1]

The assumed The Axiom of Choice and fixed universes discharge the supported-heart construction in [F1] when using its actual bounded t-structure in steps 1.1–2.1. The finite alternating-sum argument requires no additional choice.

Given: The Axiom of Choice, the fixed suitable universes, and the supported perfect category with its bounded t-structure and coherent supported heart.

Goal: Verify the Euler assignment on every relation, not merely on terms of a locally free resolution.

[F1]

Inherited bounded t structure on supported perfect complexes supplies finite coherent supported cohomology and the usual long exact cohomology sequence of a triangle.

[F2]

Cofiber and triangle presentations of K zero identifies the triangle group with the cofiber presentation. The abelian Grothendieck group is defined by short exact relations.

Proof

1.1A1F1F2

Cohomology is invariant under equivalence, and boundedness in [F1] makes the displayed assignment a finite sum on every object. For a triangle E→F→G→E[1], the long exact sequence of cohomology is finite after deleting zero terms and consists of objects in AT. In any finite exact sequence of an abelian category, breaking at images gives short exact sequences; summing their Grothendieck relations makes its alternating sum zero, since each image occurs twice with opposite signs. Applying this to the cohomology sequence gives χT(F)=χT(E)+χT(G).

2.1A1F1F2step 1.1∎

The assignment therefore descends to the triangle group. For M[0] it is [M], because the only nonzero cohomology is H0=M. Forgetting support changes neither the underlying sheaves nor their cohomology; it sends each short exact relation to the same relation. Thus the Euler homomorphisms commute with forgetting support.
