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.
Local free chains detect natural perfect operations on every qcqs base
PDF p. 14: Lemma6.4; scheme conventions p3
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice and the fixed compatible universe and site-size bounds of the supplied perfect-K-space and derived-sheaf constructions. Let be any qcqs scheme over a field. On its small Zariski site let and be the actual stable free-class map, with locally constant ranks. The maps , , and the component-zero map into the actual rank-zero fiber induce local quasi-isomorphisms on normalized free integral chains. Therefore precomposition detects homotopy classes of derived sheaf maps into each actual abelian EM coefficient target . No noetherianness, dimension bound, or continuity of motivic complexes is assumed.
Facts & Assumptions
AC and fixed universe bounds are assumed for the small presentations and enhanced realizations in the suppliers. The Axiom of Choice
Full projective Quillen–Waldhausen comparison and the local free-class map supplies the full natural Quillen-to-bounded-projective Waldhausen K-space comparison, including its degree-zero object map, and the canonical acyclic plus map for every commutative local ring. The latter clause covers Zariski local rings. External Quillen acyclicity and the actual local free-class model fixes the actual free-object/addition comparison used by the completed sheaf model; its stated Nisnevich-local scope alone is not used to infer the all-local-ring clause.
External formal universal Chern maps and supported construction supplies the actual sheaf model, coefficient targets and completion construction. On the small site of open subschemes of , write for the unbounded derived category of abelian sheaves, localized at cohomology-sheaf isomorphisms, with its derived mapping spaces and cochain convention . Define , where is the free abelian sheaf on the represented open. For a space-valued sheaf , its derived free integral chains are sheafified normalized free chains of a simplicial resolution, placed in nonpositive cochain degrees. The right adjoint is the underlying derived abelian EM-space functor, using the nonpositive truncation for Dold–Kan. Thus the actual target associated to , with , is . These are local Zariski conventions, not an enlargement of the separately scoped derived-sections definition. The actual complexes satisfy Zariski descent, so restriction is evaluated by these derived sections.
Affine perfect K zero and bundle K zero identifies the actual nonconnective perfect on every affine ring with its finite-projective Grothendieck group, by the object-class map; it uses the idempotent completeness of . The Quillen and bounded-projective degree-zero object maps in [F1] send each generator to that same class.
Bounded finite-projective complexes and affine chain models supplies the actual bounded finite-projective enhanced model and K-projective mapping property. Enhanced affine perfect equivalence supplies the actual associated-sheaf equivalence with the affine perfect category, including preservation of shifts and cones.
External connective, nonconnective and automorphism comparisons supplies the natural Waldhausen-to-connective equivalence under factorization and DHKS-saturation, its actual core/object maps, and the canonical connective-to-nonconnective comparison in positive degrees. Its statement does not by itself supply the missing degree-zero comparison; [F3] does.
Given: as stated, AC and the fixed universe bounds.
Goal: Supply the locality and derived-map argument beyond the earlier finite-dimensional scope.
Proof
Finite projective modules over a filtered colimit of rings descend: represent one by an idempotent finite matrix, and descend its finitely many entries and idempotent equations. Morphisms, their equalities, inverses, and split exact sequences descend by the same finite-matrix argument. A Quillen Q morphism is a finite admissible diagram modulo an isomorphism of such diagrams; the diagram, its splitting data, and any witnessing isomorphism descend. Consequently every finite simplex of the Q nerve descends, with equality after a further index. Realization preserves filtered colimits, and finite homotopy data and the finite limits defining based loops commute with filtered colimits of spaces. Thus commutes with these ring colimits, including its components.
The full Q/Waldhausen comparison of [F1] applies because surjections of finite projectives split. Bounded projective complexes admit mapping-cylinder factorization within this category, and their acyclic cones are contractible by [F4]. A quasi-isomorphism is therefore a homotopy equivalence; conversely a map invertible in the localization induces an isomorphism on cohomology, so DHKS-saturation holds. Their actual localization is the affine enhanced perfect category by [F4], and extension of scalars preserves split cofibrations and contractible cones. Hence [F5] applies naturally. The resulting comparison to the actual nonconnective perfect K-space is an isomorphism in every positive degree. On degree zero, the Q and Waldhausen object classes generate their Grothendieck groups, and [F3] identifies their image with the same finite-projective class in actual perfect . Thus this canonical comparison is also an isomorphism on components. Translation in these grouplike K-spaces identifies all components, so it is an equivalence of the full K-spaces. Choice is used in the supplied small presentations and enhanced realizations, not as a substitute for the component argument.
Combine the natural full-space comparison in step 1.2 with the Q continuity in step 1.1. This identifies the connective space of actual perfect K-theory of a filtered colimit ring with the filtered colimit of the corresponding spaces, compatibly with free-object maps. Only this K-theoretic continuity is used. No assertion about continuity of motivic complexes enters.
At a Zariski point , the affine-neighborhood rings have colimit . Step 2.1 identifies the stalk of with its actual K-space. Finite matrices and invertibility descend in the same way, so the source stalk is . Finite projectives over this local ring are free, and the actual free-class map is componentwise the acyclic plus map of [F1]. The rank map on its is the isomorphism to , so taking the fiber over zero selects precisely the zero component. This proves the integral chain quasi-isomorphism for and for .
Eilenberg–Zilber identifies normalized chains of a product with the tensor product of the two chain complexes. These complexes are degreewise free and bounded below in homological grading, hence K-flat; tensoring the chain quasi-isomorphisms for therefore preserves them. This proves the assertion for . Stalks commute with these finite products and chain constructions, and Zariski points detect isomorphisms of abelian sheaves on every scheme, without a dimension hypothesis.
Sheafify normalized free integral chains. Abelian sheafification is exact, so steps 3.1 and 4.1 give quasi-isomorphisms of complexes of sheaves for all three maps. The free-abelian and normalized-chain adjunctions, applied to simplicial resolutions and derived EM targets as in [F2], identify maps of space-valued sheaves into with derived maps from these chains into . Precomposition by a chain quasi-isomorphism is an equivalence of these derived mapping spaces and hence detects their homotopy classes. This uses no stalk calculation or filtered-colimit assertion for the motivic coefficients. Applying derived sections on to an equality of derived sheaf-map classes retains its descent data.
