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.

Neat submanifolds have boundary-adapted slice charts

Statement

A neat k-submanifold S of an n-manifold with boundary has boundary charts simultaneously straightening S and M; in particular its induced boundary is SM.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A neat embedded k-submanifold S of an n-manifold M with boundary and a point pS.

[L1]

Neatness means SM=S and transversality of S to M (Neat submanifolds of a manifold with boundary).

[L2]

A boundary submanifold of a boundaryless manifold has ordinary slice charts at its interior points (Boundary submanifolds of a boundaryless manifold have half-slice charts).

[L3]

A C1 Euclidean map with invertible derivative is a local diffeomorphism (The Euclidean inverse function theorem).

Proof

1.1

If pIntS, then [L1] puts p in IntM, and [L2] applies inside IntM. Now let pS=SM. Choose boundary coordinates (u,s) on S and (z,t) on M, and write the inclusion as F(u,s)=(G(u,s),h(u,s)). By [L1], h(u,0)=0 and transversality gives d(hS)p0. Its derivatives in the u-directions vanish on the face, so sh(p)0; it is positive because h(u,s)0 for s0.

2.1

By [L3], replacing the source normal coordinate s by h(u,s) is a half-space-preserving local coordinate change. Thus assume F(u,s)=(G(u,s),s). The restriction of F to the face is an embedding, so DuG(u,0) has rank k1. If k>1, choose an invertible (k1)×(k1) minor and use [L3] again in a coordinate change preserving s; if k=1, this change is empty. In either case F(u,s)=(u,H(u,s),s), where H has nk components.

3.1

The target coordinate change (z,z,t)(z,zH(z,t),t) is a half-space-preserving local diffeomorphism, with inverse obtained by adding H(z,t). It sends S to the coordinate half-slice {z=0, t0} and sends SM to its face {z=0, t=0}. This proves the simultaneous straightening and the asserted equality of induced boundary structures.

25 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.
