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.
Local Hamiltonian evolution preserves the symplectic form
Statement
Let be an open interval, let be a smooth symplectic manifold, and let be smooth. Write and define by , where differentiates only in the variable. If is the smooth local evolution satisfying and on its domain, then wherever that evolution is defined. This is local and asserts no global completeness.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: A smooth symplectic manifold, smooth , the field determined by contraction with , and a smooth local evolution of that field.
Symplectic form and symplectic manifold: and is pointwise invertible.
Proof
In local coordinates write , , and . Differentiating and using and gives The bracket is the coordinate expression for the Lie derivative .
In the same coordinates,
and
Adding them cancels with and cancels with because . The remaining terms are , exactly the coordinate expression in step 1.1. Hence . Since and by [F1], both terms vanish and .
Step 1.1 now gives on the local evolution domain. At , is the identity, so the pullback is throughout that domain.
