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.

Smooth foliated concordance of codimension-one foliations

Definition

Assume Countable Choice ACω. Let M be a closed smooth manifold and let F0,F1 be transversely oriented codimension-one foliations of M with defining forms ω0,ω1. A smooth foliated concordance from F0 to F1 is a codimension-one regular foliation G of W:=M×[0,1], transverse to the two boundary slices M×{0} and M×{1}, together with a nowhere-vanishing defining 1-form ω for G such that for j=0,1 the pullback ij∗ω along ij(x):=(x,j) is a positive smooth multiple of ωj, and hence a defining form for Fj with its prescribed coorientation. By Restriction of a foliation transverse to the boundary each slice M×{j} carries the codimension-one foliation G∣M×{j} with defining form ij∗ω, so the requirement is exactly that these boundary foliations be Fj with the prescribed co- orientations.

The smooth structure on M×[0,1] is given explicitly by product charts: near s=0 use (x,s) and near s=1 use (x,1−s), with x a smooth chart of M. These are half-space charts with smooth product transitions, as required by Smooth charts, atlases, and structures with boundary.

39 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.
