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

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 , and . The actual first projection is determinant. Its actual pointed section sends a line to . There is a natural equivalence of spaces over , , with map , and consequently a pointed retraction of . On underlying K-classes, . For every qcqs , both and are injective. The space is the actual homotopy fiber, retaining determinant-trivialization data.
Facts & Assumptions
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
The globally normalized first-layer Picard map is determinant supplies the actual pointed maps and the pointed homotopy , not merely equality on Picard groups. Motivic weight one identifies as the actual Picard 1-type with its additive structure.
Motivic filtration and image groups makes a map of grouplike infinite-loop spaces and its homotopy fiber. The actual first EM stage is the rank-zero K space on all qcqs schemes identifies 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.
Define by addition of and . Additivity of and the chosen homotopy in [F1] make this a map over . On the fiber over any generalized point , translation by is an equivalence from the fiber over zero to the fiber over ; its inverse is translation by , using that same homotopy. Therefore is an equivalence over . This argument is internal to the sheaf infinity-topos and hence is natural on restriction. It does not require to be additive.
Take to be the first component of . Its underlying expression is with the nullhomotopy furnished by . Because is pointed, the restriction over zero identifies with identity, including the fiber path. This constructs an actual homotopy-fiber map rather than choosing a lift of an object class.
Evaluation of the section makes surjective. The fiber exact sequence thus makes injective; equivalently use the product equivalence. The rank target in [F2] is discrete on derived sections, so its vanishes and the rank-fiber sequence makes injective. No assertion about generation by global bundles is involved.
