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 complete timelike collar flow is a reference product
Statement
In the complete stationary-collar model, let be the original reference graph for . Suppose is future timelike on this graph for every metric in the family. Then is a diffeomorphism from onto . It is future timelike along every orbit for every metric in the family. If the original reference section is Cauchy in the original exterior, this product agrees with its unique Cauchy intersection; it does not require the deformed exteriors to be globally hyperbolic.

Proof
**Given:**The stated data and complete hypotheses.
Goal: Establish the conclusions on the domains and parameter ranges specified.
In the full model the reference-flow map is . Its smooth inverse is , so it is a global diffeomorphism onto , not just a local transverse flow map. For each , the flow definition in [F4] and the translation form of the flow give . Hence is constant along each orbit and is negative by its value at the reference point. Continuity in the given time orientation keeps future-directed along this connected timelike orbit.
In the original stationary product, [F5] gives , since has time zero and is obtained by flowing it for time . Thus the bounded-root estimate gives . Along a orbit tends to both infinities, so does too. As is a continuous real coordinate on the entire original exterior, the orbit can have no endpoint there in either direction and is therefore inextendible there. By step 1.1 it is timelike for the original metric, so the original Cauchy condition [F2] makes its displayed reference intersection the unique one. This comparison uses only the original metric; no analogous causal-completeness property of a deformed metric has been assumed.
