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.

Left-invariant vector fields evaluate isomorphically at the identity

Statement

Assume ACω. Let XL(G) and XR(G) be the real vector spaces of left- and right-invariant smooth vector fields on a Lie group G. Evaluation at the identity gives linear isomorphisms

ev⁡eL:XL(G)⟶TeG

and

ev⁡eR:XR(G)⟶TeG.

Their respective inverses send v∈TeG to

vgL=d(Lg)e(v)andvgR=d(Rg)e(v).

The countable-choice assumption is used exactly through the supplied invariant-field and smooth translation-trivialization results.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, a Lie group G with identity e, and a vector v∈TeG.

[F1]

ACω is countable choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω).

[F2]

Invariance is equivalent to the appropriate identity-value formula. Left- and right-invariant vector fields.

[F3]

The maps (g,v)↦d(Lg)e(v) and (g,v)↦d(Rg)e(v) are smooth vector-bundle isomorphisms. Translations are diffeomorphisms and their differentials trivialize the tangent bundle.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1F2algebra

Pointwise addition and scalar multiplication preserve smooth vector fields. Because each differential d(Lg)h is linear, they also preserve left invariance; the same holds on the right. Thus XL(G) and XR(G) are real vector spaces, and evaluation at e is linear on each.

1.2F2F3algebra

Fix v∈TeG. The map g↦(g,v) is a smooth section of the product bundle G×TeG. Composing it with the left trivialization in [F3] shows that vgL=d(Lg)e(v) is a smooth vector field. Its identity-value formula makes it left invariant by [F2], and veL=d(Le)e(v)=v.

2.1F2step 1.1step 1.2

Conversely, [F2] forces every X∈XL(G) to satisfy Xg=d(Lg)e(Xe) at every g. Hence X=(Xe)L, so v↦vL and ev⁡eL are mutually inverse linear maps.

2.2F2F3step 1.1algebra

Replacing the left trivialization by the right trivialization in [F3] gives a smooth field vgR=d(Rg)e(v). The right identity-value characterization in [F2] proves invariance and uniqueness, while Re=id⁡G gives veR=v. Thus v↦vR is the inverse of ev⁡eR.

3.1F1F2F3step 1.1step 1.2step 2.1step 2.2∎

A Lie group is nonempty. If dim⁡G=0, then TeG=0 and both invariant-field spaces contain only the zero field, so both evaluation maps are the unique zero-dimensional isomorphisms; dimension one needs no change. No metric or nondegeneracy condition occurs, and the group is boundaryless by convention. The stated ACω is inherited through [F2] and [F3]; fixing the supplied vector v and performing pointwise linear operations adds no choice. The theorem asserts two explicit isomorphisms, not a biconditional.
