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.

An oriented transverse normal bundle orients an embedded submanifold

Statement

Assume ACω. For an embedded submanifold, any two of the orientations of the ambient tangent bundle, tangent bundle, and transverse normal bundle determine the third.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The axiom ACω, an embedded submanifold S⊆M, and orientations of any two among TM∣S, TS, and the normal bundle νS.

[L1]

Under ACω, the normal bundle is a smooth vector bundle (Assuming countable choice, normal and conormal bundles are smooth vector bundles).

[L2]

Its fibre is the quotient νpS=TpM/TpS (Normal and conormal bundles of an embedded submanifold).

[L3]

An orientation is a positive ray in the one-dimensional determinant line (Determinant-line orientations of finite-dimensional real vector spaces).

Proof

1.1givenL1L2construct

By [L1] and [L2], 0→TS→TM∣S→νS→0 is an exact sequence of smooth vector bundles. Local frames of TS extended to frames of TM∣S give the ordered smooth determinant-line isomorphism det⁡(TM∣S)≅det⁡(TS)⊗det⁡(νS).

2.1L3step 1.1∎

Under this isomorphism, [L3] turns any two selected positive rays into a unique third ray: tensor the tangent and normal rays to obtain the ambient ray, or choose the unique tangent or normal ray whose tensor product is the prescribed ambient ray. Smoothness is local in the adapted frames, so each resulting ray field is an orientation.
