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.
The smooth inverse function theorem on manifolds
Statement
Let be a smooth map and let . If is an isomorphism, then there are open neighbourhoods of and of such that is a diffeomorphism.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A smooth map and a point with an isomorphism.
The differential of a smooth map is the induced linear map on tangent spaces (The differential of a smooth map).
Differentials satisfy the chain rule (The chain rule for differentials of smooth maps).
A Euclidean map with invertible derivative at a point has a local inverse (The Euclidean inverse function theorem).
If the original Euclidean map is smooth, then its local inverse is smooth (A local inverse of a regular map is ).
Chart maps and their inverses are smooth diffeomorphisms onto open Euclidean sets (Chart maps are diffeomorphisms onto Euclidean open sets).
Proof
Choose smooth charts at and at as in [L4], and let . By [L4], the chart maps and are diffeomorphisms, so their differentials are linear isomorphisms. Applying [L1] gives Because is an isomorphism by [F1], the Euclidean differential is invertible.
By [L2], after shrinking to open neighbourhoods and of and , the restriction is a bijection with inverse. Since is smooth, [L3] upgrades that inverse to a smooth one.
Put and . Then , so is bijective. Its inverse is , which is smooth by [L4] and step 2.1.
Thus is a bijective smooth map with smooth inverse, hence a diffeomorphism of neighbourhoods.

26 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.
