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.
False: locally finite volume has finite total mass
Statement
False assertion: every positive smooth density whose Borel measure is locally finite has finite total mass.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Assume . Manifolds are Hausdorff, second countable and smooth, with boundary allowed; is allowed unless excluded. Densities are pointwise Borel, , and . Witness R with unit density; explicit arbitrarily large finite-interval masses.
Positive smooth densities give Radon volume: A finite-valued positive smooth density has locally finite, compact-finite measure.
Intrinsic density measure and its chart restriction: A chart restriction computes its measure by the coordinate integral.
A box in with parameters is Lebesgue measurable of measure , whichever of its faces are included: An interval has its length as Lebesgue measure.
Refutation
Take with its identity chart and , coefficient one. This is a finite-valued positive smooth density, so its measure is locally finite and finite on compact sets. For every integer , .
For any finite proposed bound , choose an integer . Monotonicity gives , so the total mass is infinite. The empty set and singleton have mass zero by the same length formula, and intervals of length one have mass one; none of these local values bounds the total.

Dependency tree · two levels
27 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.
