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.

Spherical coordinates have absolute Jacobian determinant r2sin⁡ϕ away from the axis and angular seam

Example

For S(r,ϕ,θ)=(rsin⁡ϕcos⁡θ,rsin⁡ϕsin⁡θ,rcos⁡ϕ), one has ∣det⁡DS∣=r2sin⁡ϕ on [1,2]×[π/6,π/3]×[π/6,π/3]. The map is injective there, away from both polar axes and the angular seam.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The spherical map and the compact parameter box in the statement.

[L1]

Sine and cosine have their standard derivatives and satisfy the Pythagorean identity (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine).

[L2]

Cosine is strictly decreasing on [0,π], and sine has no zero strictly between 0 and π (Signs, monotonicity intervals, and ranges of sine and cosine, The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi). With [L1], sine is therefore positive on the displayed polar-angle interval.

[L3]

Compact-Jordan change of variables applies to injective C1 maps with invertible derivative (Change of variables for an injective C1 map on a compact Jordan set).

Verification

technique · computation
1.1

Differentiating the three coordinates and expanding by columns, then using [L1], gives det⁡DS=r2sin⁡ϕ. It is positive on the parameter box by [L2].

2.1

The image norm recovers r; the quotient of the third coordinate by r recovers ϕ through strict cosine monotonicity; the first two normalized coordinates then recover θ. The same recovery works when both angles range in (π/12,5π/12) and r∈(1/2,5/2), so S is injective with nonzero determinant on an open neighborhood of the compact box.

3.1

The positive determinant and step 2.1 verify every hypothesis of [L3], so spherical integration on this box carries the factor r2sin⁡ϕ.

Dependency tree · two levels

36 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.
