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.

A chart domain need not be a Euclidean open set

Statement

False claim: in a chart (U,φ), the domain U is an open subset of Euclidean space.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A chart (U,φ) on a manifold M.

[F1]

A chart has U⊆M open in the manifold and φ:U→U^⊆Rn a homeomorphism onto an open Euclidean set; the Euclidean open set is the image U^=φ(U) (Manifold charts, coordinate domains, and coordinate functions).

Refutation

1.1F1

By [F1], the set U lives in the manifold M and is open there, while the [F1] Euclidean open set is U^=φ(U)⊆Rn. The two sets lie in different ambient spaces and play different roles.

2.1step 1.1∎

Therefore the false claim swaps the chart domain with the chart image and is wrong at the level of the definition itself.
