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.

A bijective smooth map with nonsmooth inverse

Statement refuted

Every bijective smooth map is a diffeomorphism.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The bijection $F : R \to R$ , $F (x) = x^{3}$ .

[L1]

The A-page false statement already proves that $F$ is smooth and bijective but that $F^{- 1} (y) = y^{1 / 3}$ is not smooth (A bijective smooth map need not be a diffeomorphism).

[F1]

A diffeomorphism is a bijective smooth map with smooth inverse (Diffeomorphisms and local diffeomorphisms of manifolds).

Counterexample

technique · direct

1.1L1

By [L1], the map $F$ is smooth and bijective.

1.2F1L1

The same cited refutation shows that $F^{- 1}$ is not smooth, so [F1] rules [F1, L1] out $F$ being a diffeomorphism.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2∎

Hence $F (x) = x^{3}$ is the desired counterexample.

Dependency tree · two levels

5 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
