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.
A homomorphism from a connected Lie group is determined by its differential at the identity
Statement
Assume . Let and be finite-dimensional real Lie groups, with connected. If two Lie-group homomorphisms satisfy
then . The countable-choice assumption is inherited exactly from the supplied exponential-map results.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , finite-dimensional real Lie groups with connected, and Lie-group homomorphisms with equal differentials at the identity .
is countable choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
A Lie-group homomorphism intertwines exponential maps: . Exponential map is natural for Lie-group homomorphisms.
There are open neighborhoods of and of such that is a diffeomorphism. The exponential map is a local diffeomorphism at zero.
A Lie-group homomorphism is smooth, preserves products, identities, and inverses. Lie-group homomorphism, isomorphism, and automorphism.
A connected topological space has no partition into two nonempty clopen subsets. Separation of a topological space, connected and disconnected spaces, clopen sets, and connected subsets.
Proof
Fix the neighborhoods supplied by [F3]. If , then for a unique . By [F2] and the hypothesis on the differentials, . Thus and agree on the open identity neighborhood .
Let . The identity belongs to . If , then [F4] gives , and similarly . Hence is a subgroup of , and step 1.1 gives .
For each , the translate is open and is contained in ; conversely every belongs to because . Therefore is open. Every left coset is then open as well. If , the coset is disjoint from : an element would imply . Hence is open, so is also closed.
The set is nonempty because it contains . If its complement were nonempty, step 3.1 would partition into the two nonempty clopen sets and , contradicting connectedness by [F5]. Thus , which means .
Lie groups are nonempty and boundaryless. In dimension zero a connected Lie group is a one-point discrete space, so the conclusion also follows directly; dimension one requires no change. There is no metric, degeneracy, or endpoint issue. The only choice use is the stated inherited through [F2] and [F3]. Fixing one supplied neighborhood pair and forming unions over already specified sets select no family of witnesses. No biconditional is asserted.

24 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.
