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.
Divergence theorem for a volume form
Statement
Assume . Let be oriented with boundary, , let be a positive smooth volume form, and let be a compactly supported smooth vector field. Then with outward-normal-first orientation. For compact every smooth is allowed.
Facts & Assumptions
Divergence as an exterior derivative: For a positive volume form and smooth vector field on an oriented smooth -manifold, , with boundary allowed, No tangency assumption on at the boundary is needed.
The general Stokes theorem: Assume . Let be an oriented smooth -manifold with boundary, , and let . With and the outward-normal-first orientation, An empty boundary contributes zero; in dimension one its integral is a finite signed sum of point values.
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement above.
The form is smooth and has support contained in , hence compact. Its derivative is by the divergence-form identity.
Apply general Stokes to that compactly supported -form. This gives the stated formula and ensures the boundary restriction is compactly supported. On compact the support of every smooth is compact; an empty boundary yields zero, as does . For the right side is a signed sum of contraction values.

Dependency tree · two levels
9 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.
