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.
First-class closure for a regular constraint family
Definition
Assume as in Regular primary constraints and total generator. Let be a smooth symplectic manifold. For every smooth real function on an open set , define its Hamiltonian vector field by for every and , and define . Nondegeneracy of makes unique; in local coordinates its coefficients are obtained by inverting the smooth nonsingular matrix of , so and the bracket are smooth. Let be a regular constraint family on the common zero surface as defined by Regular primary constraints and total generator: the differentials are linearly independent at every point of . The family is first-class on when
Equivalently, each pairwise bracket is weakly zero in the notation of Regular primary constraints and total generator. On a canonical cotangent phase space this intrinsic convention agrees with Canonical Poisson brackets and local Hamiltonian flow: . This definition is a pointwise closure condition on the stated regular surface; it does not assert multiplier-algorithm termination or global quotient regularity.
