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.

Statement
Let carry the subspace topology of the metric topology of (The Euclidean metric, convergence, Cauchy sequences, and continuity on the complex plane) and let be the Euclidean upper half-space (Euclidean upper half-space and its boundary), identified with through (The complex numbers as , with the real embedding and imaginary unit ). Then is nonempty and connected, it is Hausdorff and second countable, and it is a topological -manifold with boundary (Topological manifolds with boundary): every point of has a neighbourhood in homeomorphic to a relatively open subset of . Concretely, for the translation maps the open neighbourhood of in homeomorphically onto an open subset of contained in the open upper half-plane; and for the map defined on the open neighbourhood of in , is a homeomorphism of onto an open subset of containing , with inverse .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The closed disk with the subspace topology, and the half-space .
Under the identification , the metric is exactly the Euclidean metric (The Euclidean metric, convergence, Cauchy sequences, and continuity on the complex plane); is metrizable, hence Hausdorff (Hausdorff space: distinct points have disjoint open neighbourhoods; every metrizable space is Hausdorff and the indiscrete topology on two points is not), and its rational open boxes form a countable basis, so is second countable ( is a countable dense subset of , and rational open boxes form a countable basis, Second countability: an at most countable basis for the topology).
Hausdorffness and second countability are hereditary properties, so every subspace of a Hausdorff, second countable space has both properties; a subspace carries the subspace topology (, , and Hausdorffness are hereditary, Second countability is hereditary, Subspace topology: the traces of the open sets, its closed sets and its bases, the continuity of the inclusion, and the characteristic property of a map into a subspace).
Modulus is definite, multiplicative and subadditive: , and only for (Conjugation is an involutive real-field automorphism, , and modulus is definite, multiplicative, and subadditive); complex addition, multiplication and the maps are continuous (Vector addition and scalar multiplication are continuous in a normed space, Continuity of a map of topological spaces at a point and globally).
A nonempty convex subset of , , is contractible, a nonempty contractible space is path-connected, and a path-connected space is connected (Every nonempty convex subset of is contractible, Every nonempty contractible space is path-connected, Every path-connected space is connected, and every path component lies inside a component, Paths, path-connected spaces and path components, Separation of a topological space, connected and disconnected spaces, clopen sets, and connected subsets).
For a metric space, balls and the metric topology are as in Open ball, closed ball and sphere in a metric space and The metric topology: a set is open when every one of its points has a ball around it inside the set; closed means open complement; continuity of maps between metric spaces is the - condition of Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the - form. A homeomorphism is a continuous bijection with continuous inverse, and the restriction of a homeomorphism to an open subset is a homeomorphism onto its image (Homeomorphism, open map, closed map, embedding, and what it means for a property to be topological).
A topological -manifold with boundary is a Hausdorff, second countable space in which every point has a neighbourhood homeomorphic to a relatively open subset of (Topological manifolds with boundary); under the identification used in [F1], the half-space corresponds to , because has coordinates (The complex numbers as , with the real embedding and imaginary unit , Euclidean upper half-space and its boundary).
Proof
The ambient plane and its subspaces. By [F1] the metric topology of is the Euclidean topology of under ; is Hausdorff and second countable with the countable basis of rational open boxes. Since carries the subspace topology, [F2] makes Hausdorff and second countable.
is nonempty, convex and connected. Clearly . If and , then by multiplicativity and subadditivity of the modulus in [F3], so is convex; it is a nonempty convex subset of in the sense of [F4], hence contractible, hence path-connected, hence connected.
Interior charts. Let with and put . If then by [F3], so and is an open neighbourhood of in that is open in as well. The translation is continuous with continuous inverse by [F3], hence a homeomorphism of ; its restriction to is therefore a homeomorphism of onto the open set , and for one has and hence , so lies in the open upper half-plane and is in particular a relatively open subset of containing .
The two-sided inverse of the boundary formula. Let with , put for , and put for . Both are defined on the sets where they are used below, because gives and because whenever . For , so on , in particular on , and for , so on , which contains . Hence and are mutually inverse bijections between and , and in particular is injective on .
Which points of the plane are carried into the half-space. Let and multiply numerator and denominator of by , which is the conjugate of : using , and for gives so , which is exactly when : thus maps into the closed upper half-plane . Conversely, if then because the last inequality is equivalent to , that is to . Hence maps into . Since is the identity by step 1.4, is surjective onto and is injective; by step 1.4, is also injective. So is a bijection with inverse .
and are continuous, hence homeomorphisms. For expansion gives so by multiplicativity of the modulus and , Let and suppose ; then by subadditivity, so , which is as soon as . This is the - condition of [F5] for continuity of at . The same expansion with in place of and 's in place of 's gives , and for , so is continuous on the closed upper half-plane as well. By step 2.1 and [F5], is a homeomorphism of onto ; consequently is a relatively open subset of by [F6], because is open in and hence in , and it contains .
Conclusion. Step 3.1 shows that for the restriction of to the neighbourhood of in is a homeomorphism onto a relatively open subset of containing , and step 1.3 provides the corresponding chart at every point with . Step 1.2 shows is nonempty and connected and step 1.1 shows it is Hausdorff and second countable, so every point of has a neighbourhood homeomorphic to a relatively open subset of : by [F6], is a topological -manifold with boundary, as claimed.
