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 riemannian distance with no cross component finite value

Example

On M=R×{0,1} with metric dx2 on each component, d((x,i),(y,i))=xy and d((x,0),(y,1))=+.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The two disjoint Euclidean lines with their disjoint-union smooth structure.

[F1]

Extended riemannian distance on a disconnected manifold: The extended Riemannian distance on arbitrary M is the componentwise Riemannian distance when two points are in the same component, and + otherwise. Within each component use thm-riemannian-distance-is-a-metric. Components are open, since small coordinate balls are connected. A continuous curve cannot meet two components because its connected interval image is connected, so the cross-component curve family is empty, with inf=+. This is an extended metric: if two endpoints are in different components, any third point is in a different component from at least one of them, so the triangle inequality has infinite right side. It is a finite metric precisely when there are no distinct components. Empty and singleton manifolds retain their unique distances.

[F2]

Newton–Leibniz needs only continuity on [a,b], differentiability on (a,b), and a Riemann-integrable extension of the interior derivative: Let a<b. Suppose G:[a,b]R is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b). If f:[a,b]R is Riemann integrable and f(x)=G(x)(a<x<b), then abf=G(b)G(a). No derivative of G at either endpoint is assumed, and the two endpoint values assigned to the integrable extension f do not enter the conclusion.

1.1

The two lines are disjoint open-and-closed components; their usual charts give a Hausdorff second-countable smooth one-manifold and metric coefficient 1>0. A continuous path cannot meet both components, because their inverse images would separate its connected interval. Hence the cross-component admissible family is empty and its length infimum is +. In particular d((0,0),(0,1))=+.

F1given
2.1

Within a component, an admissible path has length γγ=yx, by Newton–Leibniz on its finitely many smooth pieces. The path t(x+t(yx),i) for 0t1 attains this bound. The same-component infimum is therefore yx; for example d((0,0),(3,0))=3.
