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.
Banach manifold differentials are chart independent
Statement
Let , let be a Banach manifold modelled on (all manifolds below are and smooth maps are ), and use the tangent space, its vector space structure and the differential of Tangent space and differential on a Banach manifold. Then:
- is an equivalence relation on the pairs with .
- The differential of a map is well defined; more precisely, for any two choices of charts the resulting classes coincide, and the chart-based vector space operations on are independent of the chart used.
- for every , and whenever and are .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , Banach manifolds modelled on real Banach spaces , points , and charts of at , of at for the map .
Definition of tangent vectors, their chart identifications, the vector space operations and the differential, together with the fact that transition maps of a manifold are and hence (Tangent space and differential on a Banach manifold, Countable base Banach manifold and smooth map).
Chain rule, sum rule and the derivative of the identity: for maps of open subsets of Banach spaces, , and ; a bounded linear map is its own derivative (Chain sum product and composition rules for Banach derivatives, Fréchet derivative between Banach spaces).
Chart representatives of maps between manifolds are on their open domains, and composites of the transition maps appearing below are defined on a neighbourhood of the relevant point, because chart domains and their images are open (Countable base Banach manifold and smooth map).
Proof
(Reflexivity and symmetry.) For a chart at the transition is the identity on an open set containing , so by [L2] and . If , then ; the two transition maps are mutually inverse maps on neighbourhoods of and , so differentiating the identities and with [L2] gives , that is .
(Transitivity.) If and , then on a neighbourhood of the identity holds, and [L2] gives , that is . Together with [step 1.1], this establishes the equivalence relation before any construction is asserted on its classes.
(The differential is well defined.) Let be and let , be two chart pairs at and . On a neighbourhood of one has ; if , that is , then [L2] gives , which is precisely the relation defining on the target manifold. Because [step 1.1] and [step 2.1] have already proved that is an equivalence relation, this comparison proves independence of both the representative and the chart pair.
(The vector space operations are chart independent.) If and , then the shared transition derivative is linear with , ; hence and , that is and . Since is an equivalence relation by [step 1.1] and [step 2.1], these representative calculations define operations on the quotient classes.
(Functoriality.) The maps in this step are well defined on tangent classes by [step 3.1]. For the identity, by [L2]. For a composite, fix charts at , at and at ; then near , and applying [L2] to this identity of open-subset maps gives equality of the two well-defined maps and on every class represented in the chart .
Assertion 1 is [step 1.1] with [step 2.1]; assertion 2 is [step 3.1] and [step 3.2]; assertion 3 is [step 4.1].

Dependency tree · two levels
20 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.
