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.

Purity twists and cohomological shifts with explicit premises

PDF p. 7: Motivic purity at a smooth closed point

Statement

Let T be a triangulated category, let A(c) be a specified twist of an object A, and let Ej be coefficient objects for specified weights. Fix c≥0. Suppose, in the weights being used, there is a supplied natural identification Hom⁡T(A(c),Ej[n])≅Hom⁡T(A,Ej−c[n]) for every integer n. Then Hom⁡T(A(c)[2c],Ej[a])≅Hom⁡T(A,Ej−c[a−2c]). If the analogous identification is supplied for derived mapping complexes in a stable enhancement, then RHom⁡(A(c)[2c],Ej)≃RHom⁡(A,Ej−c)[−2c], and its degree-a cohomology is Ha−2cRHom⁡(A,Ej−c). No cancellation, invertibility of twists, or definition of negative-weight coefficients is inferred without that supplied identification. In particular the indexing rule applies only within its stated weight range.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects, integer indices, and the displayed Hom identification; the enhanced version is additionally assumed only for the mapping-complex assertion.

Goal: Compute the shift without concealing the required twist comparison.

[F1]

The cochain convention is C[s]n=Cn+s and Ha(C[s])=Ha+s(C). Derived category of an abelian category

[F2]

Shift is an autoequivalence, so Hom⁡(V[s],W[a])≅Hom⁡(V,W[a−s]) by shifting both source and target by −s. The same rule in mapping complexes gives a shift [−s] when the source is shifted by s.

Proof

1.1F2given

Set s=2c in [F2]. It gives Hom⁡(A(c)[2c],Ej[a])≅Hom⁡(A(c),Ej[a−2c]). Now apply the assumed twist identification with n=a−2c, obtaining exactly the displayed group on A and weight j−c.

2.1F1F2givenstep 1.1

If the enhanced twist comparison is supplied, first use the mapping-complex version of [F2], then that comparison, to identify the mapping complex with RHom⁡(A,Ej−c)[−2c]. By [F1], its degree-a cohomology is the degree-a−2c group of the unshifted complex.

3.1givenstep 1.1step 2.1∎

Both computations explicitly used a premise containing Ej−c. They establish neither the existence of that object in a weight outside the given coefficient system nor a twist-adjunction theorem. Thus the conclusions retain precisely the supplied weight bounds and no additional purity assertion has entered their proof.
