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.

Lifting the corrected class to the curve-supported third stage

PDF p. 16: Proof of Theorem 6.7, application of Proposition 6.2 and Remark 6.3

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice and the site and universe bounds of the cited filtration and support constructions. Let k be algebraically closed, let X be a normal affine finite-type k-scheme of dimension three, and let C be the reduced closed curve constructed in Curve-and-point support reduction. Thus C lies in the smooth locus W=Xsmooth and, on each three-dimensional clopen integral component of X, its intersection is a closed integral curve; it is empty on the lower-dimensional components. Put U=X∖C and V=W∖C.

If β∈Fmot3K0(X) restricts to zero in K0(U), then its unique representative b∈π0Fmot3K(X) lifts to some b~∈π0Fmot3K(X/U). Restriction induces an isomorphism π0Fmot3K(X/U)→ ≅ π0Fmot3K(W/V), compatible with support-to-global maps. In particular this applies to the corrected class of Removing isolated points from the support. The support lift need not be unique.

Here an integral curve is a reduced irreducible scheme of dimension one, and the smooth locus is the open set where X→Spec⁡k is smooth. The spectrum K is nonconnective perfect-complex K-theory; K0=π0K. The image-filtration group Fmot3K0 is the image of π0Fmot3K→K0. For an open complement A∖B, the supported third stage Fmot3K(A/(A∖B)) means the homotopy fiber of the actual restriction of third stages, with its map to the stage on A. A homotopy-cartesian square is a square whose upper-left object is equivalent to the homotopy pullback of the other three objects.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The field, scheme, curve, class, Choice and size assumptions in the statement.

Goal: Lift the actual third-stage representative of β to the curve-support fiber and identify that fiber on the smooth locus.

[F1]

Curve-and-point support reduction supplies the componentwise curve and its containment in W; Removing isolated points from the support supplies a corrected class satisfying the stated kernel condition. The components form a finite clopen partition because X is normal and Noetherian, as used in the former supplier.

[F2]

Third edge isomorphism gives injectivity of π0F3K(X)→K0(X). The definition of the image filtration in Motivic filtration and image groups gives a representative for every element of F3K0(X).

[F3]

Third edge on a curve complement gives injectivity of π0F3K(Xe∖Ce)→K0(Xe∖Ce) for each three-dimensional affine component Xe and its closed integral curve Ce⊂(Xe)smooth. High filtration vanishing gives π0F3K(Xe)=0 on each component of dimension less than three. Finite clopen restrictions split the actual motivic image filtration identifies the actual stage and K maps on a finite clopen union with their componentwise products.

[F4]

Support fibers commute with graded triangles gives the long exact homotopy sequence of the actual stagewise support fiber. Motivic and filtered K theory with support identifies the displayed quotient notation with that fiber. Open excision for a descent theory gives support excision, compatible with support-to-global maps, provided the relevant restriction square is homotopy cartesian.

[F5]

Perfect K theory localization and open excision gives Zariski Mayer–Vietoris for K on quasi-compact opens. Motivic graded pieces and spectral sequence gives the natural fiber triangles Fr+1K→FrK→Z(r)mot[2r], and Elmanto–Morrow motivic complex input gives Nisnevich descent, hence Zariski descent, for the graded terms.

Proof

1.1F1given

By [F1], write X as the finite disjoint union of its clopen integral components Xe. On every three-dimensional component, Ce=C∩Xe is the reduced closure of an integral curve, hence is a closed integral curve; it lies in the smooth locus. On every lower-dimensional component Ce is empty. The opens U and W, and their intersections with the components, are quasi-compact: X is finite type over a field and therefore Noetherian.

1.2F3step 1.1

For a three-dimensional component, [F3] makes the actual stage-to-K0 map on Xe∖Ce injective. For a lower-dimensional component, its complement is all of Xe and its third-stage zeroth group is zero by [F3], so the same map is injective. The finite clopen product equivalences in [F3], applied to U=∐e(Xe∖Ce) and compatible with the stage-to-K maps, therefore show that π0F3K(U)⟶K0(U) is injective.

2.1F2F4givenstep 1.2

By [F2], β has a representative b∈π0F3K(X), and that representative is unique. Naturality of the stage-to-K maps sends the restriction of b to the restriction of β, which is zero in K0(U). Step 1.2 therefore makes b∣U=0 in π0F3K(U). The exact sequence in [F4] supplies b~∈π0F3K(X/U) mapping to b. Exactness does not assert that this lift is unique.

2.2F5step 1.1

The opens U and W cover X because C⊂W, and their intersection is V. The restriction square for stage zero K is homotopy cartesian by [F5]. The corresponding square for each graded term is homotopy cartesian by its Zariski descent. If the stage-r square is homotopy cartesian, the natural triangle in [F5] identifies the stage-(r+1) square as its fiber over the graded-term square; fibers preserve homotopy-cartesian squares. Induction for r=0,1,2 proves that the stage-three square for this cover is homotopy cartesian. All opens involved are qcqs by step 1.1.

3.1F1F4step 2.1step 2.2∎

Apply the spectrum form of open excision in [F4] to C⊂W⊂X and the stage-three square of step 2.2. It gives the actual restriction equivalence F3K(X/U)≃F3K(W/V) and its compatibility with support-to-global maps. Taking π0 gives the displayed isomorphism. Applying step 2.1 to the corrected class supplied by [F1] proves the final assertion.
