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.

Orientation reversal changes the integral sign

Statement

Let $- M$ have the opposite orientation on every component of an oriented smooth manifold $M$ . For every compactly supported top form, $\int_{- M} ω = - \int_{M} ω$ , in all dimensions.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Independence of atlas, partition and refinement: The compact-support integral on an oriented manifold is independent of the chart cover, coordinate maps, subordinate partition, and refinement. If $U \subset M$ is open and contains $supp ω$ , with its restricted orientation, then $\int_{U} ω ∣_{U} = \int_{M} ω$ .

Proof

Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement above.

1.1F1

Compute both integrals with the same chart cover and partition, as independence permits. In positive dimension each chart sign changes from $σ$ to $- σ$ , with its coefficient and Riemann integral unchanged.

2.1step 1.1algebra∎

In dimension zero each point sign changes from $ε$ to $- ε$ . Factoring $- 1$ out of either finite sum proves the formula; for empty support or the zero form it reads $0 = - 0$ .

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
