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.
Source Free D3 Page Form Is Closed On A B Field Patch
Differential closure of the local D3 Page five-form on a source-free patch with a chosen B2 potential, dH3=0, and the planned source-free Type IIB component Bianchi identities; smooth-chain flux conservation is conditional on the stated countable-choice premise; no global Page class or quantization is claimed.
Statement
On a source-free smooth patch with a chosen , let , , and use the Type IIB Bianchi identities , , . Then the D3 Page five-form is a smooth closed five-form on . Moreover, assume : for every sequence of nonempty sets there is a function with for every . If compact oriented smooth five-manifolds bound a compact oriented smooth six-manifold with , then . This statement does not assert a global Page class, conservation across patches or large gauge transformations, or quantization.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: A smooth source-free R4 IIB field configuration on a patch with , and the exact component Bianchi identities below.
Local Type IIB D3 Brane Source Maxwell And Page Charge: on a patch with the adopted smooth IIB field strengths and chosen , the locally defined Page form is ; its closure is conditional on the exact Bianchi identities in [A1].
The general Stokes theorem: if holds and is a compact oriented smooth manifold with boundary, then for each smooth -form ; its orientation convention is outward-normal-first.
The Axiom of Choice states that every family of nonempty sets has a choice function, which selects one member of each set. Only its countable-family restriction , explicitly formulated and assumed in the Statement, is used here, to meet [F2]'s premise in step 3.1. Closure in steps 1.1–2.1 uses no choice assumption.
Type IIB Source Free Bianchi Identities: for smooth local potentials with the field-strength definitions in Type IIB Two Derivative Supergravity Pseudoaction, the source-free identities are , , , and . This is an adopted local field-basis premise; the displayed closure conclusion is conditional on these exact identities.
Proof
Apply the graded Leibniz rule to [F1]. Since has degree two, , and .
Substituting [A1] gives . The last term vanishes by , so the form is closed locally.
On , the restriction of is smooth with compact support because is compact. Applying [F2] under the countable-choice premise [F3] gives . This conservation statement is conditional on and uses only a smooth bounding chain inside the fixed patch.
