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.

Picard groups of finite disjoint unions

PDF p. 13: Picard group of a smooth affine curve

Statement

For a finite disjoint union of open and closed subschemes X=∐iXi, restriction gives an isomorphism Pic⁡(X)≅∏iPic⁡(Xi). The empty union has the zero Picard group.

A line bundle is a sheaf of modules locally isomorphic to the structure sheaf. Its isomorphism classes form the Picard group under tensor product.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

The Picard group is the group of line-bundle isomorphism classes under tensor product (Picard group of a scheme).

Given: A finite disjoint union as stated.

Goal: Establish the restriction isomorphism.

Proof

1.1givenconstruct

A line bundle on X restricts to one on each Xi. Conversely, sheaves on the disjoint open pieces glue uniquely because all pairwise intersections are empty; gluing line bundles gives a line bundle, since local freeness is checked on these open pieces. Restriction and gluing are inverse up to isomorphism, also for the empty union.

2.1F1step 1.1∎

Restriction commutes with tensor products, and gluing does so componentwise. The bijection of step 1.1 is therefore a group isomorphism by [F1]. For the empty scheme there is one line-bundle class, the identity.
