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.
SO(2) orbit with two slice intersections and a stabilizer at the origin
Example
Take and with matrix multiplication and Lie algebra . Its elements are exactly with , giving a diffeomorphism with the unit sphere in ; matrix multiplication and inversion are smooth. Thus is a compact noncommutative finite-dimensional real Lie group, as checked in the Verification. Let with right multiplication, , and for ; this specifies the principal bundle and connection datum. Choose the independent regulator with Lebesgue density. Write for . Let with left-invariant density , and define the smooth right action
Take , choose , and set . Let and give density . At , the orbit differential in the angle direction is , so and . For , the orbit-to-slice map is , whose coordinate Jacobian at the identity is , agreeing with the Faddeev–Popov density ratio. For a fixed orbit point , , the gauge function is . Its two zeros are , with distinct slice points and , and both are transverse. Taking and the test function , the regularized intersection expression tends to . At the origin the full group stabilizes the point, , and vanishes on all of ; the theorem's isolated transverse-zero hypotheses fail there.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The countable-choice background, the finite-dimensional gauge-slice definition and theorem, and the angle-coordinate regulator data stated in the Example.
The finite regulator is specified independently of the full gauge group; the slice condition and density ratio are those of the local definition. Finite-dimensional gauge slices and Faddeev–Popov operators
Finite-dimensional gauge slices and Faddeev–Popov operators: for a smooth right action, , , and is the nonnegative density ratio of to the chosen density on the Lie algebra.
Local Faddeev–Popov slice Jacobian and orbit-intersection count: for finitely many distinct transverse zeros in the test-function support, the regularized integral with tends to the sum of the test-function values.
Verification
The set is closed and bounded in the finite-dimensional space , hence compact; the matrices and lie in and do not commute. The projection with right multiplication is a smooth principal bundle, , and is a smooth right-invariant complement. For , the defining one-parameter subgroup has initial velocity , so differentiating gives the fundamental vector and ; also and . Thus is a principal connection. The specified and satisfy the slice-data requirement. The regulator group is independent of the ambient full gauge group, as required by the Definition. The rotations satisfy , so the displayed formula is a smooth right action. The zero set of is exactly , and at every point of , has kernel .
Differentiating the action at gives . Hence at , and , since both the angle density and the standard Lie-algebra density have unit coefficient. For , the differential of at , with source coordinates and target coordinates , has determinant of absolute value , as the theorem's density formula predicts.
For , , so its zeros on the circle are exactly and modulo . Their slice points are and , which are distinct. At the two zeros the orbit derivatives in the -direction are respectively and , nonzero for ; thus both intersections are transverse.
The density factor along the orbit is , which is the absolute derivative . For , the inverse image of lies in two disjoint arcs about and ; on each arc, is a diffeomorphism onto , which contains . Changing variables on each arc makes its integral . Therefore the sum is , the two distinct transverse intersections.
At the origin the orbit map is zero, so and the FP Jacobian is zero. Also every group element fixes the origin, hence and the zero set is the whole circle, not a finite set of transverse roots. This verifies exactly why the multiplicity theorem does not apply at a point with this stabilizer.
Remarks
This SO(2) computation is a finite-dimensional model of orbit intersections. It is not a continuum gauge-fixing argument.
