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.

Lie's third fundamental theorem

Statement

Assume countable choice. Every finite-dimensional real Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a connected simply connected real Lie group, unique up to Lie-group isomorphism.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable choice and a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra g.

[L1]

Ado embeds g into a finite-dimensional matrix Lie algebra (Every finite-dimensional characteristic-zero Lie algebra is a matrix Lie algebra).

[L2]

Under [A1], a matrix Lie subalgebra integrates to a connected immersed Lie subgroup (Lie subgroup–Lie subalgebra correspondence).

[L3]

Every connected Lie group has a simply connected covering Lie group (Universal covering Lie group).

[L4]

A homomorphism from the Lie algebra of a connected simply connected real Lie group to that of any real Lie group integrates uniquely (Lie's second fundamental theorem).

Proof

1.1A1L1L2

By [L1], identify g with a Lie subalgebra of gln(R). By [L2], it is the tangent algebra of a connected immersed Lie subgroup H of GL⁡n(R). The intrinsic group H is a finite-dimensional real Lie group even when its image is not closed.

2.1A1L2L3step 1.1

Let p:H~→H be the universal covering Lie group from [L3]. A covering homomorphism is a local diffeomorphism, so dpe is a Lie-algebra isomorphism. Hence Lie⁡(H~)≅Lie⁡(H)≅g, and H~ is connected and simply connected. For g=0, this construction yields the one-point group.

3.1A1L4step 2.1algebra∎

Suppose G1 and G2 are connected simply connected integrations of g, and let α:Lie⁡(G1)→Lie⁡(G2) be the Lie-algebra isomorphism induced by chosen identifications with g. By [L4], α and α−1 integrate uniquely to homomorphisms F:G1→G2 and Q:G2→G1. The differentials of QF and FQ are the identity maps, so uniqueness in [L4] makes these composites the identity homomorphisms. Thus F is a Lie-group isomorphism. Countable choice enters only through [L2] and [L4]; Ado and the covering step add no stronger choice.
