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.

Index-two trajectory spaces are one-dimensional

Statement

If $(f, X)$ is Morse--Smale and $λ (p) - λ (q) = 2$ , then $M (p, q)$ is a one-dimensional smooth manifold. No compactification or boundary description is asserted.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A Morse--Smale pair and critical points with index drop two.

[F1]

The unparametrized space has dimension $λ (p) - λ (q) - 1$ (The unparametrized trajectory space is a smooth manifold).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1

Substitution in [F1] gives $\dim M (p, q) = 2 - 1 = 1$ .

2.1

Therefore the moduli space is a one-dimensional smooth manifold, with no assertion about its ends.

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
