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.
The flat-bundle foliation from a linear representation
Example
Assume Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). Let and let with , a suspension of the linear representation over ; let be the suspension foliation of . Then:
- , , is a smooth fibre bundle with fibre and locally constant transition functions (a flat vector bundle);
- if , then the leaf through is a circle and the leaf loop , , has holonomy germ the germ of at ; for diagonal with all eigenvalues different from , the leaf through the origin is a circle whose holonomy group is generated by the germ of at and is nontrivial whenever ;
- the foliation is transverse to the fibres of the bundle projection.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A matrix , the quotient for , and the suspension foliation of (The suspension foliation of a representation of the fundamental group).
In the suspension the leaf through is with , , and the holonomy representation is , while forward-path holonomy is (Suspension holonomy is the germ of the represented monodromy action).
The holonomy group of a leaf is the image of its holonomy representation (The isotropy of the holonomy groupoid is the leaf holonomy group).
A smooth fibre bundle is a surjective submersion locally trivialized over a cover of the base, with transition functions between local trivializations that are smooth and compatible on overlaps (Smooth fibre bundles and local trivializations).
The circle is the quotient ; the arc trivializations used below are derived directly from its quotient relation (The circle as with basepoint ).
Verification
The bundle structure. Take arcs of which are the images of and . The quotient map restricts injectively on each interval and is open, since the saturation of an open set is the union of its integer translates. Thus each arc has a unique smooth interval representative . Define by . Every point over has exactly one such representative, and local quotient charts of the suspension make and its inverse smooth. On each overlap component is a constant integer (here or ), so the change of fibre coordinate is a constant power of , hence linear and smooth. These trivializations cover and make its projection locally the product submersion. Their locally constant linear transitions supply the asserted flat vector bundle.
The leaf through a fixed vector. If , then for every , so and by [F1] the leaf through is , a circle; the leaf loop , , corresponds to the generator of , and its holonomy germ is the germ of at .
The leaf through the origin. Let be diagonal with all eigenvalues different from . Then for every , so and the leaf through is a circle. By [F1] its holonomy representation is , whose image is the cyclic group generated by the germ of at ; by [F2] that image is the holonomy group. If , then ; since is linear, it cannot agree with the identity on a neighbourhood of without being the identity, so the germ of at is not the identity germ and the holonomy group is nontrivial. If the holonomy is trivial.
Transversality to the fibres. The leaves of are locally the images of the -directions and the fibres of are locally the images of the -directions ; these two directions are complementary in , of dimensions and . Hence is transverse to the fibres at every point (Local transversals to a regular foliation).
Conclusion. Steps 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 2.1 establish claims 1, 2 and 3.
