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.
Change of variables on oriented manifolds
Statement
Let be a diffeomorphism of oriented smooth -manifolds and . If preserves orientation everywhere, ; if it reverses orientation everywhere, . If the sign varies between components, apply the appropriate signed equality on each component and add. The compact-support integrals are the choice-free finite-chart values, equal to the global partition integrals whenever those are available.
Facts & Assumptions
Finite chart localization of compactly supported top forms, including boundary constructs the finite-chart compact-support integral in every dimension, including genuine boundary; proves signed diffeomorphism change of variables componentwise; and identifies its value with the global partition integral under countable choice.
Pullback of forms is smooth functorial and preserves wedges: For a smooth map , pullback sends smooth differential forms on to smooth differential forms on , is functorial, and satisfies
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement above.
The support of is because the tangent maps are isomorphisms. It is compact, being the continuous image of the compact support under the inverse homeomorphism. Take the finite target localization from [F1] and pull its weights and charts back through .
If orientation is preserved, the corresponding source and target charts have the same sign and the same localized coefficient: and functoriality cancels the pullbacks. The finite sums therefore agree and [F1] makes both intrinsic.
For global reversal the chart signs are opposite, giving the negative finite sum. More generally the sign is locally constant because a continuous nonzero determinant has constant sign on each connected component; compact support meets finitely many components, so add their signed equalities. In dimension zero the diffeomorphism is a bijection of finite supports with the corresponding point signs; empty support and zero forms give zero.
