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.
A normalized compactly supported top form on Euclidean space
Example
For every , a product of one normalized smooth one-variable bump in each coordinate gives a compactly supported top form on standard oriented whose integral is one.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A natural number .
A smooth bump between concentric Euclidean balls supplies a smooth equal to one on and supported in .
Every continuous function on a closed nondegenerate rectangle in is Riemann integrable gives integrability of the bump and its finite products; Linearity, monotonicity, the absolute-value estimate and coordinate-slice additivity for the Riemann integral in gives linearity and monotonicity.
Riemann--Fubini on product rectangles, with lower and upper section integrals and content-zero exceptional sections identifies the multiple integral of a product coefficient with its iterated integrals, and Heine-Borel in : with the Euclidean metric a subset of is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded, and the proof by bisection uses no choice principle; the same holds on the real line makes its closed bounded support compact.
Integration is an isomorphism on top compactly supported de Rham cohomology identifies an integral-one form with the inverse image of in top compact-support cohomology.
Verification
Take from [F1] and set . The partition at and , together with everywhere and on the central interval, has lower Darboux sum at least ; hence [F2] gives . Put . Then is smooth, supported in , and .
Using the library's zero-based coordinates on , define Its coefficient is smooth and its support lies in the closed cube , which is compact by [F3]. Repeated application of [F3] on that cube gives Thus [F4] sends to .
For the product and Fubini iteration have one factor and recover . With the standard convention in dimension zero, the empty product is the value-one function on the positive point and also has integral one, although the displayed construction was stipulated for . Replacing any factor by zero makes the integral zero, as linearity predicts. There are no endpoints of the ambient manifold; the bounding-cube faces only delimit a zero extension. One explicitly constructed bump is reused finitely many times, so no choice principle enters.
