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 canonical map with invertible (q,Q)-projection is locally generated by a first-kind generating function

Statement

Let n≥1, let U,V⊆R2n be phase domains with standard two-forms ωU,ωV, and let C:U→V be a C2 diffeomorphism with C∗ωV=ωU (A phase domain, its canonical one-form and its standard symplectic two-form, A C1 map between phase domains preserves the standard two-form iff DCTJ DC=J, and a canonical diffeomorphism carries XH∘C to XH). Write C(z)=(Q(z),P(z)) and z=(q(z),p(z)) for the coordinate functions, and let z0∈U. If the map F:U→Rn×Rn,F(z):=(q(z),Q(z)) has invertible derivative at z0, then there are an open neighbourhood W⊆U of z0 and an open ball W′′⊆Rn×Rn about F(z0) with F(W)=W′′ on which F is a C2 diffeomorphism, and a C3 function S:W′′→R with det⁡SqQ(F(z0))≠0, such that the restriction of S to a product neighbourhood Oq×OQ⊆W′′ of F(z0) is a first-kind generating function and its generated local map agrees with C on a neighbourhood of z0.

The words canonical and the finite-regularity form operations here use Finite-regularity differential forms, Hamiltonian fields and canonical maps in phase charts, with the displayed C2 maps; smoothness is not inferred.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The canonical C2 diffeomorphism C, the point z0, and the projection F.

[F2]

Euclidean inverse function theorem (The Euclidean inverse function theorem): a C2 local diffeomorphism at z0 has a C2 local inverse; hence there are open neighbourhoods W of z0 and W′′ of F(z0) such that F:W→W′′ is a C2 diffeomorphism, and the inverse G:W′′→W, (q,Q)↦z, is C2.

[F3]

Pullback and canonicity in coordinates (The pullback of a differential form, The wedge product of differential forms, A C1 map between phase domains preserves the standard two-form iff DCTJ DC=J, and a canonical diffeomorphism carries XH∘C to XH): C∗ωV=ωU reads ∑idQi∧dPi=∑idqi∧dpi as forms on U.

[F4]

Poincare lemma for one-forms (Poincare's lemma on a star-shaped domain: every closed C1 field is exact, Star-shaped open subsets of Euclidean space): a closed C1 one-form on a star-shaped open subset of Rm is exact, with a C2 potential given by the radial integral; the potential of a C2 closed form is C3 because its gradient is that C2 form (Ck Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms, Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map U⊆Rm→Rn).

[F5]

First-kind generating functions and the exterior derivative (Generating functions of the first and second kind for a local canonical map, The local coordinate formula for the exterior derivative, The exterior derivative squares to zero, Closed and exact differential forms): S is a first-kind generating function when det⁡SqQ≠0, and then p=Sq, P=−SQ; conversely a function with those two properties and nonvanishing mixed determinant satisfies the definition.

Proof

technique · direct; invert the projection to coordinates $(q,Q)$, show that the one-form $p\,dq-P\,dQ$ is closed by canonicity, and integrate it on a star-shaped neighbourhood
1.1F1F2

By [F1] and [F2], F:W→W′′ is a C2 diffeomorphism with C2 inverse G; on W′′ the functions pi:=pi∘G and Pi:=Pi∘G are C2 in (q,Q).

2.1step 1.1F3algebra

Define the C2 one-form α:=∑ipi dqi−∑iPi dQi on W′′, with the functions of step 1.1. Its exterior derivative is dα=∑idpi∧dqi−∑idPi∧dQi=∑idQi∧dPi−∑idqi∧dpi (using dp∧dq=−dq∧dp and dP∧dQ=−dQ∧dP); by [F3] this vanishes, so α is closed (Closed and exact differential forms).

3.1step 2.1F4

The ball W′′ is open and star-shaped about its centre F(z0) (Star-shaped open subsets of Euclidean space, The metric topology: a set is open when every one of its points has a ball around it inside the set; closed means open complement), and the one-form α of step 2.1 is a closed C1 one-form on it (indeed C2); by [F4] there is a C3 function S:W′′→R with dS=α, that is, Sqi=pi and SQj=−Pj.

4.1F1step 3.1algebra

At F(z0) one has det⁡SqQ=det⁡(∂pi/∂Qj); since DG is the inverse of DF and DG has block form (In0∂p/∂q∂p/∂Q), the identity DG DF=I2n gives (∂p/∂Q)(z0) (Qp(z0))=In; by [F1] the factor Qp(z0) is invertible, hence det⁡SqQ(F(z0))≠0.

5.1step 3.1step 4.1F5∎

By step 4.1 and continuity of the mixed determinant, choose a product neighbourhood Oq×OQ⊆W′′ of F(z0) on which det⁡SqQ≠0. Its restriction is precisely first-kind data in [F5]; the relations p=Sq, P=−SQ of step 3.1 are exactly the defining relations of the map generated by S (Generating functions of the first and second kind for a local canonical map), and they hold on the image of C under the identification F; hence the generated local map agrees with C near z0.
