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.

Dependency tree · two levels
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.
