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.

Exact RATTLE is symplectic on the constrained phase space

Statement

Let C⊂M be compact and choose a compact phase-space neighborhood C‾ of C contained in a regular coordinate chart. There is h0(C‾)>0 such that for ∣h∣<h0(C‾) the exact map Ψh of Scaled classical RATTLE step map is defined near C, its image lies in C‾, and its reverse branch is defined near that image; the reverse branch is a local inverse, so Ψh is a local diffeomorphism near C. On this neighborhood it preserves ωM: Ψh∗ωM=ωM. Here symplecticity of a map means that it is a local diffeomorphism whose pullback preserves the two-form; the form itself is symplectic in the sense of Symplectic form and symplectic manifold.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The compact phase-space neighborhood in the Statement, the exact selected RATTLE map, and the symplectic cotangent coordinates.

[F1]

Regular holonomic phase space and constrained dynamics: on the regular phase manifold M, ωM is the restriction of the ambient canonical form ω0=∑dqi∧dpi.

[F2]

The regular holonomic phase space is a symplectic cotangent bundle: in local configuration coordinates x, a consistent ambient momentum represents a cotangent covector π=Dϕ(x)Tp and ωM=∑dxi∧dπi.

[F3]

Scaled classical RATTLE step map: RATTLE uses the two half-force updates, the constrained drift q1−q=hM−1p1/2, and normal constraint impulses at q and q1.

[F4]

Scaled RATTLE equations have unique local multiplier branches: the selected branches define a smooth local map, with a common step range on each compact phase subset.

[F5]

Symplectic form and symplectic manifold: a symplectic form is a smooth closed two-form that is pointwise nondegenerate.

[F6]

Exact RATTLE preserves both constraints and is symmetric: the signed-step map has inverse Ψ−h on the selected regular branches.

Proof

1.1F3givenalgebra

If h=0, then Ψ0 is the identity and preserves ωM. Assume h≠0. On a local configuration chart define Lh(q,q1)=12h(q1−q)TM(q1−q)−h2(V(q)+V(q1)). Differentiating gives −D1Lh=p1/2+h2∇V(q) and D2Lh=p1/2−h2∇V(q1). By [F3], the first expression differs from p by the normal vector −hJ(q)Tλ, and the second differs from p1 by hJ(q1)Tμ. Each normal vector vanishes on tangent variations of Q, so the restricted cotangent covectors satisfy p∣TqQ=−D1Lh∣TqQ and p1∣Tq1Q=D2Lh∣Tq1Q.

2.1F2step 1.1algebra

Let θ be the canonical one-form on T∗Q, θ(q,π)(δq,δπ)=π(δq). The identities in step 1.1 give Ψh∗θ−θ=d(Lh(q,q1(q,p))) on the input chart, because both sides applied to an input variation equal D1Lh δq+D2Lh δq1.

3.1F1F2F4F5F6step 2.1∎

Taking the exterior derivative of step 2.1 yields Ψh∗dθ=dθ. By [F1], ωM is the restriction of the ambient canonical form; [F2] identifies it as −dθ in cotangent coordinates. Hence this is Ψh∗ωM=ωM. The branch map is smooth by [F4] and locally invertible by [F6]. By [F2] and [F5], the preserved form is the symplectic form on M; this proves the stated symplecticity.
