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 linear shear: the second-kind generating function S(q,P)=qP+λq2/2 and the matrix test

Example

Let n=1, let λ∈R, and let S:R2→R, S(q,P):=qP+λq2/2. Then:

  1. S is a generating function of the second kind with SqP=1≠0, and the local map it generates is Ψλ(q,p)=(Q,P)=(q, p−λq), defined on all of R2 (Generating functions of the first and second kind for a local canonical map);
  2. Ψλ is canonical, both by the generating-function theorem (The local map generated by a first- or second-kind generating function is a canonical C2 local diffeomorphism) and by direct verification of the matrix identity DΨλTJ DΨλ=J (A C1 map between phase domains preserves the standard two-form iff DCTJ DC=J, and a canonical diffeomorphism carries XH∘C to XH).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The real number λ and the function S(q,P)=qP+λq2/2.

[F1]

Derivatives (Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map U⊆Rm→Rn): Sq=P+λq and SP=q, so SqP=1 and the second-kind relations p=Sq, Q=SP read p=P+λq, Q=q; solving, P=p−λq and Q=q, so the generated map is Ψλ(q,p)=(q,p−λq) on all of R2, a C∞ diffeomorphism (Generating functions of the first and second kind for a local canonical map, Ck Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms).

Verification

Clause 1 is [F1]: SqP=1≠0, and the relations p=Sq=P+λq, Q=SP=q give Ψλ(q,p)=(q,p−λq), which is a linear isomorphism of R2 and therefore a C∞ diffeomorphism.

Clause 2: the derivative is DΨλ=(10−λ1), and (1−λ01)(01−10)(10−λ1)=(01−10)=J by direct block multiplication; hence Ψλ is canonical by [F2], while the generating-function theorem gives the same conclusion because dS=p dq+Q dP and d2S=0 force dq∧dp=dQ∧dP.
