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.
Lefschetz-Hopf index formula for nondegenerate fixed points (orientable case)
Statement
Assume AC (The Axiom of Choice). Let be a closed oriented smooth -manifold, , and let be smooth with every fixed point nondegenerate. Then is finite, the geometric Lefschetz number is defined (Geometric Lefschetz number (index sum)), and where is the algebraic Lefschetz number of Algebraic Lefschetz number via rational homology traces.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A closed oriented smooth -manifold and a smooth self-map whose fixed points are all nondegenerate; assume AC.
The orientation-twisted diagonal realizes the Lefschetz trace proves the graph-pullback trace and its nondegenerate fixed-point evaluation, without an orientation restriction.
Geometric Lefschetz number (index sum) defines the finite index sum, and Algebraic Lefschetz number via rational homology traces defines the rational homology alternating trace.
Proof
On each component carried into itself, [F1] gives finiteness and identifies the finite local index sum with its Lefschetz trace. A component carried into a different component has no fixed points and a zero source-to-source diagonal block in homology, hence contributes zero to both quantities. Compactness gives finitely many components, so these finite sums exhaust both quantities of [F2].
Summing the component identities gives . The supplied orientation is compatible with [F1]'s twisted proof by trivializing its orientation system, and AC is inherited from that supplier.

Dependency tree · two levels
47 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.
