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.

Relative Poincaré primitive near a submanifold

Statement

Assume ACω. Let S↪M be a closed embedded submanifold, and let αp be a jointly smooth finite-dimensional parameter family of closed k-forms, k≥1, defined near S. If each αp vanishes as a covariant tensor at every point of S, then, after shrinking to one neighbourhood of S, there are jointly smooth (k−1)-forms βp such that dβp=αp and the first jet of βp vanishes along S.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, the closed embedding, and the family in the statement.

[F1]

Under ACω, a closed embedded submanifold has a tubular neighbourhood. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), The tubular neighbourhood theorem in a smooth ambient manifold.

[F2]

A smooth homotopy has an operator K with H1∗−H0∗=dK+Kd. De rham homotopy formula for a smooth homotopy.

Spend ACω exactly through [F1] to identify a neighbourhood of S with a neighbourhood of the zero section in its normal bundle. Shrink it to be invariant under fibrewise dilation and let Ht(s,v)=(s,tv). This deformation retracts the tube to the zero section and is independent of the parameter.

2.1F2step 1.1given∎

Orient the homotopy from H0 to H1=id⁡ and put βp=KHαp. Because dαp=0 and H0∗αp=0, [F2] gives αp=dβp. The integral defining KH is jointly smooth in the supplied parameters. In local bundle coordinates, the coefficients of αp(s,v) are O(∣v∣) and contraction with the radial homotopy velocity contributes another factor v; hence βp(s,v)=O(∣v∣2). Tangential derivatives vanish as well because βp(s,0)=0 identically in s. Thus its first jet vanishes along S.

25 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.
