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.

Elmanto–Morrow motivic complex input

PDF p. 4: Definition 2.2, citing EM23 Theorem 1.1

Statement

Let F be a prime field, namely Q or Fp for a prime p. For each integer j≥0, Elmanto and Morrow construct a finitary Nisnevich sheaf Z(j)mot on the category of quasi-compact quasi-separated F-schemes, valued in the derived category D(Z) of complexes of abelian groups. Finitary means compatibility with the filtered inverse limits to which the cited theorem applies. The sheaf is understood in the derived, homotopy-coherent sense of the cited source.

For a field k with prime subfield F, restriction along the forgetful functor from qcqs k-schemes to qcqs F-schemes supplies the corresponding contravariant complex-valued functor on Schk of Article scheme conventions, with Nisnevich descent for covers in that category. Nisnevich covers are as in Nisnevich covers and distinguished squares.

External input

The existence and Nisnevich descent of the prime-field sheaves are imported from the opening assertion of Elmanto–Morrow, Theorem 1.1, under its stated hypotheses. This item does not reconstruct their construction or import the filtration, spectral sequence, or comparison theorems.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

The cited external input gives the prime-field functor and its Nisnevich descent.

[F2]

A qcqs k-scheme is a qcqs F-scheme by composition with Spec⁡k→Spec⁡F; Nisnevich covering families are defined by their underlying étale morphisms and residue-field maps (Article scheme conventions, Nisnevich covers and distinguished squares).

Proof

Given: A field k, its prime subfield F, and j≥0.

Goal: Obtain the stated restricted functor and descent from the external input.

1.1F1F2

Apply [F1] to F and j. Composition with the forgetful functor in [F2] gives a contravariant D(Z)-valued functor on qcqs k-schemes.

2.1F1F2step 1.1∎

Every Nisnevich covering family and its fibre-product descent diagram in the chosen qcqs k-site is also such a diagram after forgetting to F. The descent equivalence supplied by [F1] therefore applies to the restricted diagram. This proves the stated restriction and descent; existence itself remains the external input.

Elden Elmanto and Matthew Morrow, Motivic cohomology of equicharacteristic schemes · Introduction, pp. 2–3, especially Theorem 1.1 and its opening statement; Section 4 for the construction

For a prime field F and each integer j at least zero there is a finitary Nisnevich sheaf Z(j)_mot on qcqs F-schemes with values in D(Z).

Hypotheses: F is Q or F_p for a prime p; schemes are quasi-compact and quasi-separated over F; j is nonnegative.

Reading limits: The introduction and the opening statement of Theorem 1.1 were read for this input. The construction and proofs in Section 4 were not reconstructed or independently checked here; no other property of Theorem 1.1 is imported by this item.
