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.
ABBV with Positive-Dimensional Fixed Components
Example
Work in . Let act on complex-oriented by . Let be the positive generator with integral , let be the pullback of the equivariant Euler class of the dual tautological line from the first factor, and set . The fixed components are and , with normal weights and . The component formula gives a zero contribution from and from , matching .

Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, the product action, product complex orientation, normalized real class , and the class defined in the Example.
Assume AC, carried through the real Borel coefficient-ring convention. The Axiom of Choice
Borel Equivariant Integration Conventions for the ABBV Formula: equivariant integration is real Borel fiber integration, a character of weight has Euler class , and the product orientation fixes the component-integration signs. The trivial-action tensor formula and iterated product integration are proved by Construction and Thom Compatibility of Borel Fiber Integration.
Atiyah–Bott–Berline–Vergne Integration Formula: each fixed-component contribution is the integral of the restricted real Borel class divided by the equivariant normal Euler class.
For an oriented bundle of rank equal to the dimension of the closed oriented base, the Euler pairing is the signed transverse zero count. Its integral version passes to real coefficients by Thom normalization and fundamental-class evaluation. The zero locus of a transverse section represents the Euler dual
Verification
The first-factor action fixes exactly and , while it fixes every point of the second factor. Thus , with each component a copy of . The normal bundle is the tangent line of the first factor at its fixed point; in the coordinates and its weights are on and on .
The normal complex line is the first factor and the fixed-component tangent space is the second. Moving the real two-dimensional first-factor orientation past the real two-dimensional second-factor orientation has sign , so the induced component orientations agree with the product orientations.
The dual tautological fiber at has weight and at has weight , so the first-factor class restricts to and . Thus the contribution from is ; on , the restricted class is and the normal Euler class is , leaving , whose integral is . The fixed-component sum is therefore .
Product fiber integration factors over the two compact oriented factors. On the first , the section of induced by has one positive transverse zero at , so its Euler integral is by [F3]; the second-factor integral of is by definition. Hence , agreeing with step 3.1.
