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 regular preimage of the collapse recovers the original framed submanifold
Statement
Assume . Let be a closed framed codimension- submanifold of a closed smooth , with . For the normalized smooth Pontryagin–Thom representative of The Pontryagin-Thom map of a framed submanifold, its centre is regular, , and the basis fixed there induces exactly . Thus the framed regular preimage is on the nose. Arbitrary unnormalized collapses represent the same homotopy class but need not induce this literal framing.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a compatible tube inducing the identity on the normal quotient, and the normalized smooth representative .
With , the target coordinate of is for , with near zero and positive before the cutoff; elsewhere the value is (The Pontryagin-Thom map of a framed submanifold).
A compatible chart fixes and induces the identity on its normal quotient (Pontryagin–Thom collapse with specified normal data). The preimage framing is the differential on that quotient followed by the coordinate isomorphism determined by the target basis (Framed regular preimages of a map to a sphere).
Proof
Since is invertible and is positive on the finite-value region, precisely when . The remaining points map to . Hence .
Near the target coordinate is exactly . Its vertical derivative is , and its derivative on is zero. Compatibility of the tube identifies the vertical quotient with by the identity, so the normal derivative of in the coordinates is exactly . It is surjective, proving regularity and .

Dependency tree · two levels
36 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.
