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.

Flux is invariant under orientation-preserving reparametrization and changes sign under reversal

Statement

An orientation-preserving reparametrization preserves flux and an orientation-reversing reparametrization negates it.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A regular reparametrization $ψ = φ \circ h$ between connected parameter regions and a continuous vector field $F$ .

[L1]

Flux is the integral of $F \circ φ$ dotted with the oriented area vector, and that vector transforms by the signed factor $\det D h$ (Unit normal fields, orientations, and flux through a regular surface patch, The oriented area vector transforms by the parameter Jacobian determinant).

[L2]

The determinant has one constant sign on the parameter region (A regular reparametrization of a connected parameter region has a constant orientation sign), and compact-Jordan change of variables uses $∣ \det D h ∣$ (Change of variables for an injective $C^{1}$ map on a compact Jordan set).

Proof

technique · cases

1.1givenL1

By [L1], flux computed with $ψ$ is $\int_{E} ((F \circ φ) \cdot (φ_{u} \times φ_{v})) \circ h \det D h$ .

2.1step 1.1L2

In the preserving case [assume-case pos], [L2] gives $\det D h = ∣ \det D h ∣$ , so change of variables makes step 1.1 equal to the flux computed with $φ$ .

2.2step 1.1L2

In the reversing case [assume-case neg], [L2] gives $\det D h = - ∣ \det D h ∣$ , so change of variables makes step 1.1 the negative of the flux computed with $φ$ .

3.1step 2.1step 2.2cases-exhaustive∎

The two constant-sign cases are exhaustive, proving both assertions.
