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.
Isometric, proper, and cobounded actions on metric spaces
Definition
Let act on a metric space by a left action (Left group actions, transitive actions, and faithful actions, Metric space: iff , symmetry, and the triangle inequality; pseudometric and ultrametric).
The action is isometric if every acts by an isometry, that is,
The action is proper if for every bounded subsets , the transporter set is finite.
The action is cobounded if some bounded subset has If the action is isometric and is nonempty, coboundedness is equivalent to the existence of and such that every point of lies within distance at most of the orbit .

Dependency tree · two levels
9 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.
