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.
Hamiltonian flows preserve the symplectic form
Statement
Wherever the local flow of a Hamiltonian vector field is defined, it preserves the symplectic form: . No completeness assertion is made.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A Hamiltonian vector field and its local flow.
A Hamiltonian field is symplectic, so . A vector field is symplectic iff is closed.
A tensor is invariant under a local flow exactly when its Lie derivative along the generator vanishes. A tensor field is flow-invariant exactly when its Lie derivative vanishes.
Proof
Since is closed, [F1] gives .
Apply [F2] on the domain of the local flow to obtain . Neither step extends the flow beyond its maximal domain.

Dependency tree · two levels
6 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.
