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.

Quotient vector bundles by a subbundle

Definition

Let $S \subseteq E$ be a smooth vector subbundle of a smooth vector bundle $E \to M$ . The quotient bundle set $E / S \to M$ has fibre

$(E / S)_{p} : = E_{p} / S_{p}$

over each $p \in M$ .

Its total space is the disjoint union of these fibrewise quotients. The next theorem shows that this fibrewise construction carries a natural smooth vector-bundle structure.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
