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 smooth structure on G/H is independent of the local complement
Statement
Assume . Let be closed. Any two linear complements of in used in the local-product construction of yield smoothly compatible quotient charts, and hence the same smooth structure.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a closed subgroup , and complements .
The quotient theorem gives the unique smooth structure for which the coset map is a surjective submersion and the left action is smooth. The Axiom of Countable Choice (), Quotient manifold by a closed Lie subgroup.
The exponential is smooth with identity differential at zero, and a smooth map with invertible differential is locally a diffeomorphism. The Lie-group exponential map is smooth with identity differential at zero. The smooth inverse function theorem on manifolds.
Proof
Define by . By [F1], its differential at is , which is an isomorphism because . The inverse function theorem in [F1] therefore supplies product neighborhoods on which is a diffeomorphism; after the standard continuity shrinking, meets each represented coset once. The corresponding quotient coordinate map sends to .
Consider a point in the overlap of the two quotient chart domains. After translating both constructions to that point and shrinking, every representative from lies in the product neighborhood for . If , write Both components are smooth, and ; therefore the transition from the -coordinate to the -coordinate is precisely , the first component of . It is smooth.
Interchanging and produces the smooth inverse transition. Translations are diffeomorphisms, so the same calculation handles all translated charts. Thus the two atlases are smoothly compatible and generate the same maximal atlas. Zero-dimensional complements, , and cause no exception. Choice is inherited only through [A1].

26 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.
