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.
One-surgery on a three-manifold as framed knot surgery
Example
Assume , as in the surgery definition. For a framed knot in a closed oriented -manifold, -surgery replaces by , with the boundary identification fixed by the framing.
For the unknot use with compatible corner rounding, decomposed into and . The core is . Its framing with integer twist is the actual product embedding into . Zero twist produces ; one twist produces . Their fundamental groups are and , so these are different results for the same underlying knot. A bare swap of the two boundary circles is not a framing change: it exchanges the meridian with a longitude and does not extend over the removed solid torus.
Verification
Given: the unknot core in , and the framed embeddings and ; circle coordinates are complex numbers of modulus one.
[F1] p-surgery on a smooth m-manifold specifies the gluing by the framed product embedding on the boundary torus.
[F2] The outgoing boundary of a handle attachment trades the disk factors gives , with handle parameters , .
[F3] , is an isomorphism, and is simply connected for every give and .
[F4] A diffeomorphism and its inverse give inverse induced maps on loop classes by composition (The homomorphism on fundamental groups induced by a pointed continuous map), so distinct fundamental groups rule out diffeomorphism.
Each is a smooth embedding with inverse on , and all have core . Writing the replacement torus as , its boundary gluing to is . This follows directly from [F1], using as the attaching-sphere coordinate and as the normal-circle coordinate.
For , is the product identification. Thus . To check smoothness of the disk double identification, map polar disk coordinates in the two copies to on ; it is smooth and invertible at the centres and in the signed collar coordinate at the seam.
For , change coordinates by diffeomorphisms of the solid tori themselves: , , and , . The transformed boundary gluing is , as direct multiplication shows. This exchanges the two boundary circle factors with one reversal. In the boundary decomposition of [F2], identify the first solid torus with by ; it is a diffeomorphism, so the transformed gluing produces the boundary of . A convex corner rounding is radially transverse to all rays from the origin; write its boundary as for smooth positive on . The radial map and its inverse prove that boundary is diffeomorphic to . Hence one-twist surgery gives .
By [F3] and [F4], the manifolds computed in steps 2.1 and 2.2 cannot be diffeomorphic. These two valid framings of the same core knot therefore give different diffeomorphism types.
