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 . Let be a homomorphism of finite-dimensional real Lie groups, with Lie algebras and . Then
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: , finite-dimensional real Lie groups , and a Lie-group homomorphism .
is countable choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
A Lie-algebra homomorphism is a linear map preserving brackets. Lie-algebra homomorphism.
The map is smooth, preserves identities, and satisfies . Lie-group homomorphism, isomorphism, and automorphism.
Pairs of related smooth vector fields have related brackets. Related vector fields have related Lie brackets.
Assuming , each tangent vector has a unique left-invariant smooth extension . Left-invariant vector fields evaluate isomorphically at the identity.
The tangent bracket is characterized by , and similarly for . Lie bracket on the tangent space of a Lie group.
The differential of a smooth map at a point is linear. The differential sends derivations to derivations and is linear.
Differentials of smooth maps obey the chain rule. The chain rule for differentials of smooth maps.
Proof
Fix . By [F5], and have left-invariant extensions on and on . For every , the homomorphism law [F3] gives . Therefore [F8] gives Thus and are -related.
Apply [F4] to the related pairs from step 1.1 for and . Then is -related to . Evaluating relatedness at and using [F6] on both groups yields
By [F7], is linear, and step 2.1 proves bracket preservation. Hence is a Lie-algebra homomorphism by [F2].
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 , inherited through [F5] and [F6]; fixing two tangent vectors adds no choice. No biconditional is asserted.
