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 finite-quotient map to cdh-local motivic cohomology

PDF p. 5: Prime-to-characteristic comparison

Statement

Let F=Q or F=Fp for a prime p, and work on the category of all qcqs F-schemes. For j≥0, write Mj=Z(j)mot,F for the supplied Elmanto–Morrow complex-valued presheaf, and Z(j)cdh,F for its specified classical-input cdh target. For every integer n≥1 invertible in F, the objectwise derived quotient of the canonical motivic-to-cdh comparison is a natural equivalence αj:Mj/n→∼Z(j)cdh,F/n. The slash denotes the objectwise derived quotient C⊗LZ/n=cofib⁡(n:C→C), precisely as in the completed motivic definition. This is an equivalence of actual D(Z)-valued presheaves on that same category and may be evaluated at every qcqs F-scheme. If k is any field with prime subfield F, precomposition along the forgetful functor from qcqs k-schemes retains this equivalence, with source the standing motivic complex and target the restriction of the specified prime-field cdh complex.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses in the statement.

Goal: Establish the displayed construction or conclusion with its actual maps.

[F1]

Exact cdh factorization inputs for the source étale map imports the actual canonical maps and their stated equivalences on the qcqs prime-field category.

[F2]

Elmanto–Morrow motivic complex input supplies the prime-field motivic functor and its fixed-field restriction. Motivic complexes and cohomology and Functorial finite coefficients for derived complexes fix the objectwise derived quotient.

Proof

1.1F1F2

If F=Q, apply the canonical-map assertion of EM Theorem4.10(4), supplied by [F1], with m=n. Its slash is derived quotient, the same construction as [F2].

1.2F1F2construct

If F=Fp, [F1] supplies the equivalence Mj[1/p]→Z(j)cdh,F[1/p]. Since p is a unit in Z/n, localization followed by derived tensor with Z/n is just derived tensor with Z/n: the equality follows from Z[1/p]⊗ZLZ/n≅Z/n, with Z[1/p] flat. Tensoring that actual comparison thus gives exactly the stated canonical quotient map.

2.1F1F2step 1.1step 1.2∎

For each qcqs F-scheme X, steps 1.1–1.2 give an equivalence upon evaluation at X. All constructions are objectwise and functorial, so these maps form the stated natural equivalence. Precomposing that same diagram with the forgetful functor for any field k/F preserves its maps and equivalences; by [F2] its source is precisely the standing motivic quotient. The target remains the restriction of the prime-field cdh complex, without any unproved exchange of restriction and sheafification. This proves both scopes.
