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.
Local normal form near a coisotropic submanifold
Statement
Assume . For , let be a closed coisotropic embedding. If is a diffeomorphism satisfying , then extends to a symplectomorphism between neighbourhoods of and . Thus the presymplectic form on a coisotropic submanifold, whose kernel is its characteristic distribution, determines the local symplectic germ.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: and the two coisotropic embeddings and map in the statement.
The characteristic bundle is smooth and involutive. Characteristic distribution of a coisotropic submanifold is involutive.
An involutive constant-rank distribution has foliation coordinates. Frobenius local coordinate theorem.
Every smooth vector subbundle has a smooth complement. Every vector subbundle has a smooth complement.
Under , closed embeddings have tubular neighbourhoods, and relative Moser corrects forms agreeing along the embedded submanifold. The tubular neighbourhood theorem in a smooth ambient manifold, Relative Poincaré primitive near a submanifold, Relative Moser theorem.
Proof
By [F1]--[F2], integrates locally to the characteristic foliation. The equality of restricted forms gives . By [F3], choose a smooth complement to in and put . Each is symplectic: if is orthogonal to , it is also orthogonal to because , hence to all of ; thus . Consequently where is a smooth symplectic subbundle of rank and is Lagrangian. Smoothness follows locally by solving the constant-rank linear equations defining the symplectic orthogonal.
Choose by [F3] a smooth complement to in . The pairing , , is nondegenerate. There is therefore a unique smooth bundle map satisfying For , skew-symmetry gives Thus is a Lagrangian splitting. Define by the nondegenerate-pairing condition It is a smooth bundle isomorphism. The map equal to on and to on preserves the symplectic form on every summand and cross-pairing, hence is a symplectic bundle isomorphism extending .
The quotient maps identify the chosen complements with the quotient normal bundles. Apply the tubular construction in [F4] using these complements: explicitly, in the proof of that construction replace the orthogonal complement by in the normal-addition map. Its derivative at is then ; the same inverse-function and variable-radius shrinking argument produces a tubular diffeomorphism with that derivative. The bundle map induced by therefore gives a diffeomorphism between neighbourhoods extending with equal to the full symplectic bundle isomorphism of step 2.1, not merely equal on quotient normals. Hence and agree as full tensors along . Their difference is closed and has the fibre-radial relative primitive supplied in [F4].
The interpolation between those two forms is symplectic near . Relative Moser therefore gives a correction fixed on ; composing it with produces the desired neighbourhood symplectomorphism. The characteristic foliation was derived in step 1.1 rather than assumed as extra data.
