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.
Proper-orthochronous Poincaré action and test pullback
Definition
Fix coordinates and the Minkowski matrix The proper-orthochronous Lorentz group is with its subspace topology from real matrices. The proper-orthochronous Poincaré group is the semidirect product with multiplication , identity , and affine action . Its topology is the product topology on the matrix and translation coordinates.
For define the pointwise pullback formula, viewed initially as a smooth function, On smooth functions this formula obeys and , by the group law. This definition specifies the formula and conventions; it does not assert that belongs to . Translations have the convention .
With this signature, , is the closed forward cone, and is spacelike exactly when .
