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.
Explicit metric, orientation and curvature data of the advanced-chart extension at the horizon r = s
Example
Let be the Schwarzschild exterior datum with and (The Schwarzschild exterior model datum: domain, metric, mass parameter and time orientation), and let with chart and time-orientation field , , be the advanced-chart extension of Smooth horizon-crossing extension of the Schwarzschild exterior metric in the advanced chart. Write for a point on the level set with . Then:
- Metric components and nondegeneracy at the horizon. In the product chart, has components The two-dimensional block in the directions is nonsingular with eigenvalues and , and the angular directions are positive on ; hence is nondegenerate of inertia at with the same signature as in the exterior.
- Horizon generator and time orientation. At the coordinate field satisfies and , so is a null direction tangent to the level set (the generator direction of clause (e) of the lemma). At the orientation field is , so , with a timelike vector of squared norm (not unit-normalized) whose pairing with the generator is negative: is future-directed at the horizon.
- Finite curvature at the horizon. By clause (d) of the lemma the Kretschmann scalar of equals on all of , so at its value is , finite and nonzero for every .
- The chart component still diverges. In the exterior product chart of the datum the component diverges as , while clauses 1 to 3 show that the metric, its orientation and the Kretschmann invariant at the same value are finite and nondegenerate in the extension. The divergence is therefore a property of the exterior chart's coefficient, not of the geometry at .

Proof
(Components and determinant.) Substituting in the polar-chart components of [L1] gives , , , ; in the ordered basis the matrix has the block and the positive angular block . Its determinant is by [L4]. The base block has eigenvalues and the angular block has two positive entries, so the inertia is and the metric is nondegenerate at .
(Generator and orientation.) By [L1] and [L4], and , so is a null vector whose -component is zero in the chart: it is tangent to and realizes the generator direction of [L1]. At the coefficient of the orientation field is , so , and , while . Both signs are those required of a time orientation, and the negative pairing with the null generator makes future-directed. This is clause 2.
(Curvature value.) By [L2], at the Kretschmann scalar equals , which is finite and positive for every . This is clause 3.
(Chart divergence.) By [L3], for ; as the numerator tends to and the denominator to , so . This divergence occurs in the exterior chart at the same value at which clauses 1 to 3 exhibit finite nondegenerate metric and curvature data in the extension, so it is a coordinate artifact of the exterior chart. This is clause 4.
Remarks
- What the example computes. The example evaluates the supplied extension formulas at ; it uses the lemma's identity on rather than extending the exterior-domain computation, and no value of the metric outside the extension's domain is used. No numerical value of , , or and no measurement occurs.
