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.
Moser pullback differentiation equation
Statement
Assume . If is the evolution of a smooth time-dependent vector field and is a smooth family of forms, then
If the are closed two-forms and is a smooth family of one-forms satisfying , then any solution of satisfies . When is nondegenerate, that contraction equation has a unique smooth solution .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a smooth family , a smooth family when the second assertion is used, and a local evolution generated by .
Differentiation along a time-dependent evolution gives the displayed pullback derivative. The supplier's definition of such fields assumes . Differentiation of a pulled-back form along a time-dependent flow.
Cartan's formula is . Cartan's magic formula.
Proof
The first formula is [F1] with initial time zero. If , [F2] turns its parenthesis into . Thus the Moser equation makes the derivative zero.
For nondegenerate , the smooth bundle map is invertible, so the unique solution is . Matrix inversion in local coordinates proves joint smoothness in .

Dependency tree · two levels
17 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.
