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.

The actual determinant fiber is a natural retract of the rank-zero K-space

PDF p. 11: Proposition 5.5; pp. 11–12

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice and fixed compatible site and universe size bounds for the constructions below. On the Nisnevich site of qcqs schemes over a field, put S=Ω∞Fil⁡1K, B=Ω∞gr⁡1K≃BGm and T=Ω∞Fil⁡2K. The actual first projection d:S→B is determinant. Its actual pointed section κ:B→S sends a line to [L]−1. There is a natural equivalence of spaces over B, T×B≃S, with map (t,b)↦i(t)+κ(b), and consequently a pointed retraction r:S→T of i:T→S. On underlying K-classes, r(s)=s−κ(d(s)). For every qcqs Y, both π0T(Y)→π0S(Y) and π0S(Y)→K0(Y) are injective. The space T is the actual homotopy fiber, retaining determinant-trivialization data.

Facts & Assumptions

[A1]

Choice and the fixed compatible site and universe bounds are retained for The globally normalized first-layer Picard map is determinant in [F1] and The actual first EM stage is the rank-zero K space on all qcqs schemes in [F2]. Step 1.1 uses their actual rank and determinant maps and homotopies; step 3.1 uses their evaluated fiber identifications. The translation and retraction arguments then use these supplied maps. The Axiom of Choice

[F1]

The globally normalized first-layer Picard map is determinant supplies the actual pointed maps d,κ and the pointed homotopy dκ≃idB, not merely equality on Picard groups. Motivic weight one identifies B as the actual Picard 1-type with its additive structure.

[F2]

Motivic filtration and image groups makes d a map of grouplike infinite-loop spaces and T its homotopy fiber. The actual first EM stage is the rank-zero K space on all qcqs schemes identifies S with the rank fiber over the discrete locally constant rank sheaf.

Proof

Given: These actual sheaf maps, their homotopies, AC and the existing universe bounds.

Goal: Construct the fiber retraction and prove injectivity without a fiber-preservation assertion for a plus map.

1.1A1F1F2

Define Φ:T×B→S by addition of i(t) and κ(b). Additivity of d and the chosen homotopy in [F1] make this a map over B. On the fiber over any generalized point b, translation by κ(b) is an equivalence from the fiber over zero to the fiber over b; its inverse is translation by −κ(b), using that same homotopy. Therefore Φ is an equivalence over B. This argument is internal to the sheaf infinity-topos and hence is natural on restriction. It does not require κ to be additive.

2.1step 1.1

Take r to be the first component of Φ−1. Its underlying expression is s−κ(d(s)) with the nullhomotopy furnished by dκ≃id. Because κ is pointed, the restriction over zero identifies ri with identity, including the fiber path. This constructs an actual homotopy-fiber map rather than choosing a lift of an object class.

3.1A1F1F2step 1.1step 2.1∎

Evaluation of the section makes π1S(Y)→π1B(Y) surjective. The fiber exact sequence thus makes π0T(Y)→π0S(Y) injective; equivalently use the product equivalence. The rank target in [F2] is discrete on derived sections, so its π1 vanishes and the rank-fiber sequence makes π0S(Y)→K0(Y) injective. No assertion about generation by global bundles is involved.
