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.

The oriented area vector transforms by the parameter Jacobian determinant

Statement

If $ψ = φ \circ h$ , then $ψ_{s} \times ψ_{t} = (\det D h) (φ_{u} \times φ_{v}) \circ h$ .

If $ψ = φ \circ h$ , then $J_{ψ} = (J_{φ} \circ h) ∣ \det D h ∣$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A regular reparametrization $ψ = φ \circ h$ , with $h = (h_{1}, h_{2})$ .

[L1]

The chain rule and the coordinate interpretation of total derivatives give $ψ_{s} = (h_{1})_{s} (φ_{u} \circ h) + (h_{2})_{s} (φ_{v} \circ h)$ and the analogous formula for $ψ_{t}$ (The chain rule for total derivatives: $D (g \circ f) (a) = D g (f (a)) \circ D f (a)$ , A total derivative computes every directional derivative, and its matrix is the Jacobian, Surface reparametrizations and their orientation sign).

[L2]

The cross product is bilinear and alternating (The cross product is bilinear, alternating, and orthogonal to both factors), and area density is the cross-product norm (The surface area density is the norm of the cross product of the parameter tangents).

1.1givenL1L2algebra

Substitute the two formulas from [L1] into $ψ_{s} \times ψ_{t}$ . By [L2], the equal-vector terms vanish and the remaining terms combine to $((h_{1})_{s} (h_{2})_{t} - (h_{2})_{s} (h_{1})_{t}) (φ_{u} \times φ_{v}) \circ h$ .

2.1step 1.1algebra

The scalar coefficient in step 1.1 is $\det D h$ , proving the signed area-vector formula.

3.1step 2.1L2algebra

Taking Euclidean norms, using $∥ c w ∥_{2} = ∣ c ∣ ∥ w ∥_{2}$ , and applying [L2] gives $J_{ψ} = (J_{φ} \circ h) ∣ \det D h ∣$ .

The first identity retains the determinant sign, while only the norm identity replaces it by an absolute value, as asserted.
