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.
Every isometry is a bilipschitz equivalence and every bilipschitz equivalence is a quasi-isometry, and two metrics on one set are Lipschitz equivalent exactly when the identity is a bilipschitz equivalence between them
Statement
Every isometry is a bilipschitz equivalence and every bilipschitz equivalence is a quasi-isometry, and two metrics on one set are Lipschitz equivalent exactly when the identity is a bilipschitz equivalence between them.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses of the Statement.
A map is a bilipschitz embedding when for some , and a bilipschitz equivalence when it is a bijective such map with bilipschitz inverse (Bilipschitz embeddings and bilipschitz equivalences of metric spaces).
A map is -coarse Lipschitz when , and an -quasi-isometric embedding when in addition (Coarse Lipschitz maps and quasi-isometric embeddings).
A subset is coarsely dense when every point of the space is within a fixed distance of it, and a quasi-isometry is a coarse Lipschitz map admitting a coarse Lipschitz quasi-inverse (Coarsely dense subsets, quasi-inverses and quasi-isometries).
Isometric embedding and isometry. A function is an isometric embedding if (Isometry, isometric embedding, and the subspace metric on a subset).
- and are topologically equivalent if they have the same metric topology: - and are uniformly equivalent if for every real there are reals and such that, for all , - and are Lipschitz equivalent if there are reals with (Topologically, uniformly and Lipschitz equivalent metrics on a set).
If and are Lipschitz equivalent, they are uniformly equivalent. (Lipschitz equivalence implies uniform equivalence implies topological equivalence).
Proof
An isometry is a bilipschitz equivalence with multiplicative constant one.
If is a bilipschitz equivalence, then and are both coarse Lipschitz with additive constant zero, and the composites are the identities; hence is a quasi-isometry.
Two metrics on one set are Lipschitz equivalent exactly when the identity between them is a bilipschitz equivalence; this is a comparison of two definitions written on the same data.

20 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.
