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.

Differential of a Lie-group homomorphism is a Lie-algebra homomorphism

Statement

Assume ACω. Let F:GH be a homomorphism of finite-dimensional real Lie groups, with Lie algebras g=TeG and h=TeHH. Then

dFe:gh

is a Lie-algebra homomorphism. The countable-choice assumption is used exactly through the supplied smooth invariant-field and tangent-bracket results.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, finite-dimensional real Lie groups G,H, and a Lie-group homomorphism F:GH.

[F1]

ACω is countable choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω).

[F2]

A Lie-algebra homomorphism is a linear map preserving brackets. Lie-algebra homomorphism.

[F3]

The map F is smooth, preserves identities, and satisfies F(gh)=F(g)F(h). Lie-group homomorphism, isomorphism, and automorphism.

[F4]

Pairs of related smooth vector fields have related brackets. Related vector fields have related Lie brackets.

[F5]

Assuming ACω, each tangent vector has a unique left-invariant smooth extension XgL=d(Lg)eX. Left-invariant vector fields evaluate isomorphically at the identity.

[F6]

The tangent bracket is characterized by [XL,YL]=[X,Y]gL, and similarly for h. Lie bracket on the tangent space of a Lie group.

[F7]

The differential of a smooth map at a point is linear. The differential sends derivations to derivations and is linear.

[F8]

Differentials of smooth maps obey the chain rule. The chain rule for differentials of smooth maps.

Proof

1.1

Fix Xg. By [F5], X and dFeX have left-invariant extensions XL on G and (dFeX)L on H. For every gG, the homomorphism law [F3] gives FLg=LF(g)F. Therefore [F8] gives dFg(XgL)=dFgd(Lg)eX=d(LF(g))eHdFeX=(dFeX)F(g)L. Thus XL and (dFeX)L are F-related.

2.1

Apply [F4] to the related pairs from step 1.1 for X and Y. Then [XL,YL] is F-related to [(dFeX)L,(dFeY)L]. Evaluating relatedness at e and using [F6] on both groups yields dFe([X,Y]g)=[dFeX,dFeY]h.

3.1

By [F7], dFe is linear, and step 2.1 proves bracket preservation. Hence dFe is a Lie-algebra homomorphism by [F2].

4.1

Lie groups are nonempty and boundaryless. If either Lie algebra is zero-dimensional, the same related-field calculation applies and all relevant source vectors or target values are zero; in dimension one the proof is unchanged. No metric, nondegeneracy, interval, or endpoint occurs. The only choice use is the stated ACω, inherited through [F5] and [F6]; fixing two tangent vectors adds no choice. No biconditional is asserted.
