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.

Third edge on a curve complement

PDF p. 14: Remark 6.3

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Choice and the size conventions used for motivic cohomology with support. Let X be an affine finite-type scheme of Krull dimension three over an algebraically closed field k, and let T⊂X be a closed integral curve contained in the smooth locus of X→Spec⁡k. Put U=X∖T. Then the third edge homomorphism ϵ3:Hmot6,3(U,Z)⟶Fmot3K0(U) is an isomorphism, and the stage-to-K homomorphism π0Fmot3K(U)⟶K0(U) is injective. No normality assumption on X is made.

An integral curve is a reduced irreducible scheme of dimension one; the smooth locus consists of the points where the structure morphism to Spec⁡k is smooth. The spectrum Fmot3K(U) is the third stage of the decreasing motivic filtration of nonconnective K-theory, and π0 denotes its zeroth stable homotopy group. The group K0(U)=π0K(U) is the zeroth homotopy group of the K-theory spectrum. The image-filtration group Fmot3K0(U) is the image of the displayed stage-to-K map. Finally, Hmot6,3(U,Z) is degree-six cohomology of the weight-three motivic complex on U; the third edge map is the inverse of the third-stage graded projection followed by the stage map with codomain restricted to its image.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The field k, scheme X, curve T, complement U, Axiom of Choice, and size conventions in the statement.

Goal: Prove that the actual third edge is an isomorphism and that the actual third-stage map to K0(U) is injective.

[F1]

Under exactly these geometry, choice and size hypotheses, Torsion freeness after removing a smooth-locus integral curve gives that Hmot6,3(U,Z) is torsion-free: an element killed by a positive integer is zero. The size conventions are those of Motivic and filtered K theory with support. The assumed Axiom of Choice, The Axiom of Choice, discharges the Choice premise of this supplier and its support constructions, and the Choice premises of the rational comparison in [F2] and the third-stage projection in [F4].

[F2]

Rational third-edge comparison applies to this complement without normality: it establishes that U is Noetherian of dimension three over k and that the actual third edge becomes an isomorphism after tensoring with Q.

[F3]

For a homomorphism of abelian groups with torsion-free domain, Detecting injectivity by rationalization gives injectivity when its rationalization is injective; if the homomorphism is also surjective, it is an isomorphism.

[F4]

Under Choice for a Noetherian three-dimensional scheme over a field, Third-stage graded isomorphism gives the actual projection p3:π0Fmot3K(U)→≅Hmot6,3(U,Z). By Third edge homomorphism, the edge is p3−1 followed by the stage map to its image, and is surjective.

Proof

1.1F1F2given

The given X, k and T satisfy the hypotheses of [F1] and the complement application of [F2]. Hence the domain of ϵ3 is torsion-free and ϵ3⊗ZQ is an isomorphism, in particular injective.

2.1F3F4step 1.1

The edge map is surjective by [F4]. Applying [F3] to it and the two facts in step 1.1 shows that ϵ3 is an isomorphism.

3.1F4step 2.1∎

Let u:π0Fmot3K(U)→K0(U) be the stage map. By [F4], p3 is an isomorphism and u is the composite of p3, ϵ3, and the inclusion of the image subgroup Fmot3K0(U) into K0(U). Each factor is injective, using step 2.1 for the middle factor. Therefore u is injective, proving both assertions.
