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.

An injective regular $C^{k}$ map is a $C^{k}$ diffeomorphism onto its image

Statement

Let $k, n \geq 1$ , let $U \subseteq R^{n}$ be open, and let $f : U \to R^{n}$ be an injective $C^{k}$ map whose derivative is invertible everywhere. Then $f [U]$ is open and the corestriction $f : U \to f [U]$ is a $C^{k}$ diffeomorphism.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses in the Statement and the $C^{k}$ diffeomorphism convention of $C^{k}$ Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms.

[L1]

Under the corresponding $C^{1}$ hypotheses, $f [U]$ is open and $f : U \to f [U]$ is a $C^{1}$ diffeomorphism (An injective regular $C^{1}$ map is a diffeomorphism onto its image).

[L2]

If $f$ is $C^{k}$ for $k \geq 1$ , then every local inverse supplied by the inverse function theorem is $C^{k}$ (A local inverse of a $C^{k}$ regular map is $C^{k}$ ).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1L1

Since a $C^{k}$ map with $k \geq 1$ is $C^{1}$ , [L1] supplies the open image and the unique global $C^{1}$ inverse $g : f [U] \to U$ .

2.1step 1.1L2∎

Around each $y \in f [U]$ , the inverse $g$ agrees with the unique local inverse of $f$ . By [L2] that restriction is $C^{k}$ . Thus $g$ is locally, and hence globally, $C^{k}$ , so the corestriction is a $C^{k}$ diffeomorphism.
