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.
Period-lattice monodromy obstructs global action–angle coordinates
Statement
This item assumes , namely countable choice. In the propagated dependency chain, that assumption is required through Liouville–Arnold action–angle theorem; after those interfaces are fixed, the remaining local or finite argument makes no additional countable-family choice.
On the regular base of a compact Lagrangian torus fibration, local bases of the period lattice differ by matrices in . Parallel transport therefore defines a monodromy representation . Nontrivial monodromy obstructs global action–angle coordinates.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , a regular compact connected torus fibration covered by the local action–angle charts of Liouville–Arnold.
is countable choice and is required here through Liouville–Arnold action–angle theorem; after those supplied interfaces are fixed, the remaining local or finite calculation makes no additional countable-family choice.
Each local chart chooses a -basis of the stabilizer lattice. Liouville–Arnold action–angle theorem.
Proof
On an overlap, two ordered period bases generate the same rank- lattice. Each is therefore an integer linear combination of the other, and the two change matrices are inverse integer matrices; hence the transition lies in . Products of these transitions around loops give the monodromy representation.
A single global angle system would label the same fundamental period loops on every fibre. Those labels would be a global basis of the lattice local system, so transport around every loop would return the basis unchanged. Therefore nonidentity monodromy rules out global action–angle coordinates. Trivial monodromy is only necessary: a global Lagrangian-section obstruction may remain.

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.
