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 infinitesimal generator of a symplectic action is symplectic

Statement

Assume ACω. Let a smooth left action of G on a symplectic manifold (M,ω) be symplectic. Then every fundamental vector field ξM of the action has vanishing Lie derivative on ω:

LξMω=0.

Consequently each ξM is a symplectic vector field, and the flow of ξM consists of symplectomorphisms.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, a symplectic action of G on (M,ω) and ξg.

[A1]

ACω is countable choice; it is used only through [F1].

[F1]

ξM(p)=ddt0expG(tξ)p, and ξM is a smooth vector field. Fundamental vector fields for a left action.

[F2]

The action law is g(hp)=(gh)p and ep=p, and each ag(p)=gp is a diffeomorphism with (ag)ω=ω. Smooth left actions of Lie groups, Symplectic and Hamiltonian Lie-group actions.

[F3]

For the local flow Φt of X, LXT=ddt0ΦtT; equivalently, on every common flow domain, ΦtT=T for all defined t if and only if LXT=0. The Lie derivative of a tensor field, A tensor field is flow-invariant exactly when its Lie derivative vanishes.

[F4]

Through each point there is a unique maximal integral curve of a smooth vector field. Through each point there is a unique maximal integral curve.

1.1

For fixed pM put θ(t)=expG(tξ)p. The action law and [F1] give, for every t, θ(t)=dds0expG((t+s)ξ)p=dds0expG(sξ)(expG(tξ)p)=ξM(θ(t)), so θ is an integral curve of ξM with θ(0)=p. Its domain is all of R, because the action and the exponential are defined for all real parameters and all group elements.

2.1

By [F4] the maximal integral curve of ξM through p is unique, so θ is it; hence the flow of ξM is the global map Φt(p)=expG(tξ)p on R×M.

3.1

For each real t the map Φt=aexpG(tξ) is the diffeomorphism induced by the group element expG(tξ), so [F2] gives Φtω=ω; therefore the curve tΦtω is the constant two-form ω on its flow domain.

F2step 2.1
4.1

Differentiating this constant curve at t=0 and applying the flow characterization [F3] with X=ξM and T=ω yields LξMω=0.
