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.

Local diffeomorphisms carry distributions and integral manifolds

Statement

Let $F : M \to N$ be a local diffeomorphism, let $D$ be a smooth distribution on $M$ , and let $U \subseteq M$ be open such that $F ∣_{U} : U \to V : = F (U)$ is a diffeomorphism. Then:

the family $(F_{*} D)_{F (p)} : = d F_{p} (D_{p}) (p \in U)$ is a smooth distribution on $V$ , and
if $i : P \to U$ is an integral manifold of $D ∣_{U}$ , then $F \circ i : P \to V$ is an integral manifold of $F_{*} D$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A local diffeomorphism $F : M \to N$ , a smooth distribution $D$ on $M$ , and an open set $U$ on which $F$ is a diffeomorphism onto $V$ .

[A1]

Let $i : P \to U$ be an integral manifold of $D ∣_{U}$ .

Proof

technique · direct

1.1given

Because $F ∣_{U}$ is a diffeomorphism, its differential identifies [given] $T U \to T V$ fibrewise by linear isomorphisms. Transporting the rank- $k$ subbundle $D ∣_{U}$ through those isomorphisms yields a rank- $k$ smooth subbundle of $T V$ , namely $F_{*} D$ .

1.2givenalgebra

The composite $F \circ i$ is an injective immersion, because both factors [given] are immersions and $F ∣_{U}$ is injective. For each $q \in P$ , $d (F \circ i)_{q} (T_{q} P) = d F_{i (q)} (d i_{q} (T_{q} P)) = d F_{i (q)} (D_{i (q)}) = (F_{*} D)_{F (i (q))} .$ Hence $F \circ i$ is an integral manifold of the transported distribution.

2.1given∎

Therefore local diffeomorphisms preserve the regular-distribution and [given] integral-manifold structure on any neighborhood where they are genuine diffeomorphisms.

Dependency tree · two levels

17 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.
