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.
An irrational line as a dense immersed Lie subgroup of a torus
Example
Assume and fix . Then
identifies with a one-dimensional immersed Lie subgroup whose image is dense, proper, nonclosed, and nonembedded in .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , an irrational real number , and the displayed winding homomorphism .
The winding map is an injective immersion and homomorphism, and its image is dense. The irrational torus flow is free with dense orbits.
The homomorphism-image theorem equips its image with the unique intrinsic immersed-subgroup structure for which the corestriction is a submersion. The Axiom of Countable Choice (), Images are immersed Lie subgroups.
Embeddedness means that this intrinsic topology agrees with the ambient subspace topology. Immersed, embedded, and closed Lie subgroups.
Verification
Proof technique: calculate the image and compare its intrinsic and ambient topologies.
By [A1], is an injective immersed homomorphism with dense image. Since its kernel is trivial, the canonical image structure in [A2] is transported from the one-dimensional source .
The image is proper. The point is not in it: equality of the first coordinate would force , while equality of the second would make an integer, impossible because a nonzero rational multiple of irrational is irrational. A proper dense subset is not closed.
For each , let be the least positive integer satisfying , whose existence is the finite-pigeonhole calculation in [A1]. Irrationality makes every fixed positive, so . Nevertheless in the ambient subspace. Hence the inverse of on its image is not continuous, so [F1] shows that the subgroup is not embedded. Leastness makes the sequence choice-free; is inherited only through the general image supplier [A2]. The source dimension is exactly one, its tangent is nonzero, and no endpoint is present.

Dependency tree · two levels
22 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.
