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 fibration need not be a locally trivial bundle
Statement refuted
Every Hurewicz fibration is a locally trivial fiber bundle.
Facts & Assumptions
Hurewicz HLP tests all initial maps and all compatible homotopies. Hurewicz and serre fibrations
Bundle charts identify every fiber in a chart domain with the same space. Locally trivial fiber bundle
A continuous coordinate pair gives a continuous product map, using only the choice-free characteristic-property clause. A map into a product is continuous iff each of its components is; the projections are continuous and open; and each projection is surjective when every factor is nonempty, which for an infinite index set uses the Axiom of Choice
The minimum of two continuous real-valued functions is continuous. Sums, products, absolute values, finite maxima and minima, and quotients of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous where defined
Counterexample
Given: The closed triangle and projection , .
For any ordinary parameter space , let the initial map be and let satisfy . Define . Its coordinates are continuous by F3–F4; the same coordinate check into the Euclidean subspace gives continuity into . Indeed , so its range is in .
The fiber over zero is the singleton , while for every the fiber contains the distinct points and and is homeomorphic to . Any relatively open neighbourhood of zero in contains some . A chart over such a neighbourhood would, by F2, identify both fibers with one fixed fiber, forcing a singleton to be in bijection with a set containing two distinct points. This is impossible, so no bundle chart exists at zero.
At time zero, implies , hence . Also at every time. This establishes F1 for every space , proving Hurewicz without any universal path-space theorem or choice. It also proves the CGWH test conclusion because the triangle and interval are ordinary compact Hausdorff spaces and their interval cylinders have the same topology.
Empty test spaces in step 1.1 give the empty lift; one-point tests give the same explicit path lift. If then and the lift is , so emergence from the collapsed fiber is continuous. If , the lift is ; if is constant in time, the formula fixes the original point. At and at both homotopy endpoints the same inequalities remain valid. Thus the singleton/interval change does not obstruct HLP but does obstruct local triviality, as claimed.

Dependency tree · two levels
21 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.
