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.

Clutching construction for bundles over a suspension

Definition

Let (A,a0) be a well-pointed based compact CGWH space and let g:A→GL⁡n(F) be continuous. Write the suspension from Reduced cone suspension and cofiber sequence as the union of its upper and lower cones C+A and C−A. The clutched bundle Eg is the quotient of

(C+A×Fn)⨿(C−A×Fn)

by the equatorial identifications

(a,v)+∼(a,g(a)v)−.

Using collar neighborhoods of the equator gives two open product charts whose transition is the same g on every collar slice. Thus Vector bundles are glued from transition cocycles makes Eg→ΣA a rank-n vector bundle.

This upper-to-lower convention is fixed throughout the page: under the affine coordinates used in the companion calculation, g(z)=z gives the chosen tautological Hopf line over S2=CP1. Interchanging the upper and lower charts reverses the relation and replaces g by g−1. For n=0, GL⁡0(F) is a point and the construction gives the unique rank-zero bundle.
