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 be compact and choose a compact phase-space neighborhood of contained in a regular coordinate chart. There is such that for the exact map of Scaled classical RATTLE step map is defined near , its image lies in , and its reverse branch is defined near that image; the reverse branch is a local inverse, so is a local diffeomorphism near . On this neighborhood it preserves : 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.
Regular holonomic phase space and constrained dynamics: on the regular phase manifold , is the restriction of the ambient canonical form .
The regular holonomic phase space is a symplectic cotangent bundle: in local configuration coordinates , a consistent ambient momentum represents a cotangent covector and .
Scaled classical RATTLE step map: RATTLE uses the two half-force updates, the constrained drift , and normal constraint impulses at and .
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.
Symplectic form and symplectic manifold: a symplectic form is a smooth closed two-form that is pointwise nondegenerate.
Exact RATTLE preserves both constraints and is symmetric: the signed-step map has inverse on the selected regular branches.
Proof
If , then is the identity and preserves . Assume . On a local configuration chart define . Differentiating gives and . By [F3], the first expression differs from by the normal vector , and the second differs from by . Each normal vector vanishes on tangent variations of , so the restricted cotangent covectors satisfy and .
Let be the canonical one-form on , . The identities in step 1.1 give on the input chart, because both sides applied to an input variation equal .
Taking the exterior derivative of step 2.1 yields . By [F1], is the restriction of the ambient canonical form; [F2] identifies it as in cotangent coordinates. Hence this is . The branch map is smooth by [F4] and locally invertible by [F6]. By [F2] and [F5], the preserved form is the symplectic form on ; this proves the stated symplecticity.
