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 tangent space at the identity is a Lie algebra

Statement

Assume ACω. If G is a finite-dimensional real Lie group with identity e, then g=TeG, equipped with the bracket transported from left-invariant smooth vector fields, is a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra. It is denoted

Lie(G)=g.

The countable-choice assumption is used exactly through the supplied invariant-field and smooth-vector-field results.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω and an n-dimensional real Lie group G with identity e.

[F1]

ACω is countable choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω).

[F2]

A Lie group here is a finite-dimensional real smooth manifold. Lie group.

[F3]

The tangent space of an n-manifold is an n-dimensional real vector space. The tangent space of an n-manifold has dimension n.

[F4]

The tangent bracket is [u,v]G=[uL,vL]e, and [uL,vL]=[u,v]GL. Lie bracket on the tangent space of a Lie group.

[F5]

A finite-dimensional Lie algebra has a bilinear alternating bracket satisfying Jacobi. Finite-dimensional Lie algebra.

[F6]

Evaluation at e is a linear isomorphism from left-invariant smooth fields to TeG. Left-invariant vector fields evaluate isomorphically at the identity.

[F7]

Smooth vector fields have a bilinear alternating bracket satisfying Jacobi. Smooth vector fields form a Lie algebra under the Lie bracket.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

By [F2] and [F3], g=TeG is an n-dimensional real vector space and hence is finite-dimensional.

F2F3
1.2

Because the inverse of the linear isomorphism in [F6] is linear, (au+bv)L=auL+bvL. Bilinearity of the field bracket in [F7] and the definition [F4] therefore give [au+bv,w]G=a[u,w]G+b[v,w]G, and similarly in the second variable.

1.3

Alternation of the field bracket in [F7] gives [u,u]G=[uL,uL]e=0. Thus the tangent bracket is alternating.

F4F7
1.4

By [F4], the left-invariant extension of [v,w]G is [vL,wL]. Consequently the tangent Jacobi expression is the value at e of [uL,[vL,wL]]+[vL,[wL,uL]]+[wL,[uL,vL]], which vanishes by the vector-field Jacobi identity in [F7].

F4F7
2.1

Steps 1.1--1.4 verify every axiom in [F5], so g is a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra. A Lie group is nonempty. If n=0, then g=0 and the bracket is the unique zero bracket; if n=1, alternation forces the bracket to vanish, consistently with the proof. No metric or nondegeneracy condition occurs, and the group is boundaryless by convention. The stated ACω is inherited through [F4], [F6], and the smooth-field meaning in [F7]; all algebraic transport is deterministic and adds no choice. The theorem verifies a structure rather than an iff.
