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.
Intrinsic density measure and its chart restriction
Statement
All chart-partition constructions give the same measure . Moreover, if is Borel and contained in any chart , then
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Assume . Manifolds are Hausdorff, second countable and smooth, with boundary allowed; is allowed unless excluded. Densities are pointwise Borel, , and . Common nonnegative refinement and pointwise extended-real arithmetic.
The glued set function is a Borel measure: Every gluing gives a Borel measure.
Agreement of Borel overlap integrals: Nonnegative Borel density integrals agree on every Borel chart overlap.
Beppo Levi's theorem for nonnegative series: The integral of a countable nonnegative sum is the sum of the integrals.
Proof
For a finite nonnegative Borel scalar on , is again a density: in coordinates its coefficient is , and multiplying the transition law by proves its law, also at when . Thus the overlap lemma applies to and .
Fix a Borel . Transfer the th gluing term, for the density , from to on . In the chart the transferred integrands sum to : if is finite this is distributivity and ; if , at least one of the finitely many nonzero weights is positive, so the sum is infinite. The nonnegative summation theorem therefore gives the chart-restriction identity.
For two partitions and , expand the first construction on a Borel as . This expansion follows from the same pointwise argument, now summing , and the nonnegative summation theorem. The overlap lemma transfers each summand to . Both iterated sums are the supremum of the finite rectangular subsums, so reordering and summing gives the second construction.
Thus the two Borel measures are identical on every Borel set. All formulas remain true for the empty set and zero density, giving zero; in dimension zero the chart formula is the singleton weight. Neither infinity nor boundary points require cancellation: the overlap lemma already treats both.

Dependency tree · two levels
22 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.
