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.

A full-turn peripheral kernel fills as a smooth geodesic core

Statement

Let N be the complement of finitely many disjoint open solid tori in a connected oriented three-manifold, and suppose its interior has a hyperbolic metric. Fix one boundary torus T with primitive peripheral basis (μ,λ). Assume that a neighborhood of this end, after developing into H3, is isometric to a punctured radius-ε tube about a geodesic axis, modulo a translation of length L>0 along that axis. Assume that λ is the axial translation direction and that μ is the angular direction making one full turn of angle 2π about the axis; equivalently, its peripheral holonomy is the identity isometry with the full-turn lift. Then the hyperbolic metric extends smoothly over the ordinary Dehn filling along μ, adding the axis quotient as the core geodesic of length L. The same conclusion holds simultaneously for any finite set of ends satisfying these conditions.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hyperbolic metric on the complement of the stated tubes, the peripheral basis on each selected torus, and the explicit developed tube model with meridional angle 2π and positive axial translation length.

[F1]

Slopes and generalized fillings on torus cusps: ordinary Dehn filling attaches a solid torus whose meridian disk boundary is the specified primitive slope.

[F2]

Pared hyperbolic structures and volume: a hyperbolic metric has curvature −1 in local charts into H3.

[F3]

Ideal gluing equations and trivial peripheral linear holonomy give a complete structure: edge products 1 and angle sums 2π give a smooth hyperbolic metric away from ideal vertices; the cusp equations are additional conditions used to obtain completeness at those ends.

[F4]

Any two attaching maps with the same meridian slope give oriented-homeomorphic fillings by a homeomorphism that is the identity on the unfilled complement: their transition on the filling torus preserves the meridian up to isotopy and extends over the solid torus. A meridian-preserving torus homeomorphism extends over a solid torus

Proof

1.1givenF2construct

In cylindrical coordinates (r,θ,z) about a geodesic in H3, the metric is ds2=dr2+sinh⁡2(r) dθ2+cosh⁡2(r) dz2. The full-turn condition makes θ have period 2π, while the axial translation identifies z with z+L. Thus the developed tube quotient is (0,ε)×(R/2πZ)×(R/LZ), and its meridian is exactly the θ circle representing μ.

2.1givenF2step 1.1algebra

Set x=rcos⁡θ and y=rsin⁡θ. Then dr2+sinh⁡2(r)dθ2=dx2+dy2+(sinh⁡2r−r2)r4(x dy−y dx)2. The coefficient has the convergent even-power expansion 1/3+O(r2) at r=0, and cosh⁡2(r) is smooth in x2+y2. Hence the metric extends smoothly across x=y=0; the added set is the circle R/LZ and is the core of a solid torus. The extended metric has curvature −1 on the dense punctured tube by [F2], so its smooth curvature tensor has curvature −1 on the core by continuity.

First use the model attaching map from step 1.1; by step 2.1 it gives a smooth hyperbolic extension over that filled solid torus. For any specified ordinary filling map with the same meridian slope, [F4] supplies an oriented homeomorphism from that filling to the model filling, equal to the identity on the complement. Transport the smooth structure and extended metric across this homeomorphism. The transported structure agrees with the original smooth structure on the complement, so this gives the asserted extension on the specified topological filling. For finitely many ends the tube neighborhoods are disjoint, and these identifications and extensions can be made independently.
