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.

Unit-sphere area form and outward radial flux

Physical scope

Pure mathematical surface integral; no physical premise or claim.

Statement

Let S2={p∈R3:∥p∥2=1} have its standard embedded smooth structure and outward orientation, let X(p)=p, and let ω be its outward area form, ωp(v,w)=p⋅(v×w) for tangent vectors v,w∈TpS2. Put D=[0,π]×[0,2π] and

Φ(θ,ϕ)=(sin⁡θcos⁡ϕ,sin⁡θsin⁡ϕ,cos⁡θ).

The map Φ presents S2 as a regular parametrized surface patch, with boundary seam and poles allowed by the patch convention. The outward flux of X is

∫D(X∘Φ)⋅(Φθ×Φϕ) dθ dϕ=4π.

Equivalently, the oriented top-form integral is ∫S2ω=4π.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Euclidean space R3, the rectangle D, the map Φ, the unit sphere S2, and the radial vector field X from the Statement.

[F1]

Regular parametrized surface patches on compact Jordan parameter regions requires a compact Jordan parameter region, a C1 map on a neighborhood, nonzero parameter cross product in the interior, and no repeated image of distinct interior points; boundary seam identifications and rank failures are allowed.

[F2]

Unit normal fields, orientations, and flux through a regular surface patch defines flux in the induced orientation by ∫D(X∘Φ)⋅(Φθ×Φϕ) dθ dϕ.

[F3]

The cross product in R3 gives the coordinate formula for u×v; The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn fixes the dot product and norm.

[F4]

In the Statement, the standard embedded smooth structure is the atlas with charts Ui,ε={p∈S2:εpi>0}, for i∈{1,2,3} and ε∈{−1,1}, whose coordinates delete pi and whose inverse inserts pi=ε1−∑j≠iuj2 on the open unit disk. These charts cover S2. For t>0, (t)′=(2t)−1, and induction gives (d/dt)mt=cmt1/2−m with c0=1 and cm+1=(1/2−m)cm; thus the square root, and hence each chart transition on its positive-argument domain, is smooth. The charts give TpS2={v∈R3:p⋅v=0}; the stated outward orientation declares (v,w) positive when p⋅(v×w)>0, and the displayed ω is its area form. A smooth differential k-form defines smooth forms; Heine-Borel in Rn: with the Euclidean metric a subset of Rn is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded, and the proof by bisection uses no choice principle; the same holds on the real line makes S2 compact; and Integration on an oriented embedded submanifold defines the integral of a compactly supported form on the oriented sphere through its embedding.

[F5]

Computing form integrals by finite parametrizations computes a compactly supported top-form integral from finitely many orientation-preserving charts with disjoint interiors and closures covering the support.

[F6]

Choice-free smooth inverse function theorem in Euclidean space gives a smooth local inverse where the derivative is invertible.

[F9]

Changing a bounded integrand on a content-zero set does not change its Riemann integral says that bounded functions on a bounded Jordan set which differ only on a content-zero set are integrable together and have equal integrals.

[F10]

A bounded set in Rm is Jordan measurable iff its boundary is null, equivalently of content zero says that a bounded subset of R2 whose boundary has content zero is Jordan measurable; The Riemann integral of a bounded function over a bounded Jordan measurable set defines its Riemann integral by zero extension to a bounding rectangle.

[F11]

A continuous real function on a compact Jordan measurable set is Riemann integrable over that set says a continuous real function on a compact Jordan measurable set is Riemann integrable there.

Proof

1.1F1F3F4F6F7givenalgebra

The rectangle D is a compact Jordan parameter region. Since sin⁡′=cos⁡ and cos⁡′=−sin⁡, repeated differentiation shows that every derivative of sine and cosine exists and is one of ±sin⁡,±cos⁡; these derivatives are continuous, so Φ is smooth on all of R2. Every point of S2 is in its image: choose θ∈[0,π] with cos⁡θ=p3; when sin⁡θ>0, the pair (p1/sin⁡θ,p2/sin⁡θ) is a unit-circle point and [F7] supplies ϕ∈[0,2π], while at a pole any ϕ works. More precisely, the interior image is W=S2∖Φ(∂D): for every point not on the poles or the longitude seam, the latitude is unique by strict decrease of cosine on (0,π), and the longitude is unique by the bijection in [F7]. Direct differentiation gives Φθ=(cos⁡θcos⁡ϕ,cos⁡θsin⁡ϕ,−sin⁡θ) and Φϕ=(−sin⁡θsin⁡ϕ,sin⁡θcos⁡ϕ,0); substituting into the coordinate cross-product formula [F3] yields Φθ×Φϕ=(sin⁡2θcos⁡ϕ,sin⁡2θsin⁡ϕ,sin⁡θcos⁡θ)=sin⁡θ Φ. [F7] makes this nonzero for 0<θ<π, and its direction is outward by the stated orientation. In any smooth chart on S2, the coordinate derivative of Φ is therefore invertible; [F6] gives a smooth local inverse. The bijection onto W and these local inverses make Φ∣D∘ an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism onto the open set W. Thus [F1] applies, including the permitted seam and pole degeneracy on ∂D.

By [F2] and step 1.1, the flux integrand is f(θ,ϕ)=Φ⋅(sin⁡θ Φ)=sin⁡θ, and the same coefficient is ω(Φθ,Φϕ). This function is continuous on the compact Jordan rectangle D, so [F11] makes it Riemann integrable there; [F7] gives 0≤f≤1. The bounded open rectangle D∘ has boundary ∂D, which has two-dimensional content zero by [F1], so [F10] makes D∘ Jordan measurable. Define g:D→R by g=f on D∘ and g=0 on ∂D. The functions f,g are bounded and differ only on the content-zero set ∂D; [F9] therefore gives that g is Riemann integrable on D and ∫Dg=∫Df. By the zero-extension definition in [F10], ∫Dg=∫D∘f. This supplies the Riemann-integral consequence of the null boundary explicitly. [F4] defines the oriented-sphere integral and ensures compact support, and [F5] identifies it with ∫D∘f. Therefore [F8] gives ∫D(X∘Φ)⋅(Φθ×Φϕ) dθ dϕ=∫02π ⁣∫0πsin⁡θ dθ dϕ=2π(−cos⁡θ)∣0π=4π. The vanishing cross product at the poles and the repeated longitude seam occur only on ∂D.
