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.
Exponential map is natural for Lie-group homomorphisms
Statement
Assume . If is a homomorphism of finite-dimensional real Lie groups, then for every ,
The countable-choice assumption is used exactly through the supplied one-parameter-subgroup/exponential characterization.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a Lie-group homomorphism , and .
is countable choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
A one-parameter subgroup with initial velocity is uniquely the curve . One-parameter subgroups are exactly exponentials.
The map is smooth, preserves identities, and satisfies . Lie-group homomorphism, isomorphism, and automorphism.
Differentials of smooth maps obey the chain rule. The chain rule for differentials of smooth maps.
Proof
By [F2], is a one-parameter subgroup. Since [F3] makes a smooth group homomorphism, the composite is a one-parameter subgroup of .
The same characterization [F2] gives . Hence the chain rule [F4] yields
Apply [F2] in : the unique one-parameter subgroup with initial velocity is . Steps 1.1--2.1 identify with this curve. Evaluating at gives
Both Lie groups are nonempty and boundaryless. Zero-dimensional source or target Lie algebras and dimension one require no change, including . The one-parameter curves are global, so no endpoint issue occurs. No metric or nondegeneracy condition occurs. The only choice use is the stated , inherited through [F2]; composition with one supplied homomorphism and evaluation at one add no choice. No biconditional is asserted.

16 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.
