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.

An injective regular $C^{1}$ map is a diffeomorphism onto its image

Statement

Let $n \geq 1$ , let $U \subseteq R^{n}$ be open, and let $f : U \to R^{n}$ be injective and $C^{1}$ . Suppose $D f (x)$ is invertible for every $x \in U$ , equivalently $U = Reg (f)$ (The regular locus of a square-dimensional $C^{1}$ map). Then $f [U]$ is open and $f : U \to f [U]$ is a $C^{1}$ diffeomorphism. Its inverse $g$ satisfies

$D g (f (x)) = D f (x)^{- 1} (x \in U) .$

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses in the Statement and the definitions of a local inverse and diffeomorphism (Continuously differentiable maps, local inverses, and local diffeomorphisms, Homeomorphism, open map, closed map, embedding, and what it means for a property to be topological).

[L1]

Let $f : U \to R^{n}$ be $C^{1}$ and suppose $D f (x)$ is invertible for every $x \in U$ . Then $f$ maps every open subset of $U$ to an open subset of $R^{n}$ (A $C^{1}$ map with everywhere-invertible derivative is open).

[L2]

For the local inverse $g$ supplied by the inverse function theorem, $D g (y) = D f (g (y))^{- 1} (y \in W) .$ (The Euclidean inverse function theorem)

1.1L1given

By [L1], $f [U]$ is open and the continuous bijection $f : U \to f [U]$ is open. Therefore its inverse $g : f [U] \to U$ is continuous.

2.1step 1.1L2given∎

Fix $y \in f [U]$ . The unique global inverse agrees near $y$ , by injectivity, with the local inverse from [L2]. Hence $g$ is $C^{1}$ near every image point and satisfies $D g (y) = D f (g (y))^{- 1}$ there. This proves the stated global $C^{1}$ diffeomorphism and derivative formula.
