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.

Dual and Hom vector bundles

Definition

Let $E \to M$ and $F \to M$ be smooth vector bundles over the same base.

The dual bundle $E^{*} \to M$ has fibre $E_{p}^{*}$ over $p \in M$ .

The Hom bundle $Hom (E, F) \to M$ has fibre $Hom (E_{p}, F_{p})$ over $p \in M$ .

The next theorem equips these fibrewise constructions with smooth vector-bundle structures.

Bundle maps over f are sections of the pulled-back Hom bundle Proposition
Sections of Hom are the same as smooth fibrewise linear maps Proposition

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
