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.
Nomizu extension and uniqueness in the analytic Lorentzian setting
Statement
Let be a connected simply connected real-analytic Lorentzian manifold. Here is a smooth -manifold without boundary, , with a compatible real-analytic atlas, and is a smooth symmetric nondegenerate covariant two-tensor whose components in that atlas are real analytic. Lorentzian means that at each point some tangent-space basis gives the metric matrix , with positive entries. A smooth vector field on an open set is Killing when , where is its local flow. No orientation or time orientation is assumed.
Every smooth Killing field on a nonempty connected open subset extends to a unique smooth Killing field on all of . In particular, two global Killing fields agreeing on a nonempty open subset agree everywhere: restrict to a connected coordinate subneighborhood of that subset and use uniqueness.

Facts & Assumptions
Smooth manifolds, smooth structures, charts and coordinate domains have the general-dimensional convention in the smooth-manifold definition. Smooth manifolds and their smooth charts
Compatible real-analytic atlases, analytic metric components, symmetric nondegenerate metrics and Killing fields have the dimension-independent conventions explicitly formulated in the analytic-pullback supplier. Only these formulation conventions are used here, without imposing the isometry hypotheses of its transport conclusion. The Lorentzian signature is specified inline above. An arbitrary metric isometry transports analyticity and Killing fields
Simple connectedness has the nonempty path-connected convention in the cited definition. Simply connected topological spaces
The imported Nomizu existence and uniqueness inputs apply to these analytic pseudo-Riemannian data and hence to the Lorentzian subclass; they require neither a field equation nor completeness of the Killing field.
External input
Chruściel, Section 2, Theorem 2.1 and footnote 6, supplies global existence in the analytic pseudo-Riemannian setting. Ionescu–Klainerman, Section 1, p. 2, explicitly supplies uniqueness under the same hypotheses. These established results are imported at statement level; no proof reconstruction is claimed.

External dependencies
A Killing field on a connected open subset of a connected simply connected analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold extends to the whole manifold.
Hypotheses: An analytic pseudo-Riemannian metric, connected simply connected ambient manifold, and a smooth Killing field on a nonempty connected open set; no field equation or completeness assumption.
Reading limits: Read the web-extracted PDF text of Theorem 2.1 and footnote 6, which explicitly covers pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Existence is imported at statement level; neither Nomizu’s original proof nor its pseudo-Riemannian adaptation was reconstructed.
The preceding extension is unique for a real-analytic pseudo-Riemannian metric when the ambient manifold and initial open set are connected and the ambient manifold is simply connected.
Hypotheses: A smooth Killing field on the connected open set in the real-analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold; connectedness and simple connectedness as stated. No field equation or boundary condition is assumed for this analytic theorem.
Reading limits: Read the web-extracted PDF text of the opening Section 1 paragraphs and footnote 1. This verifies the statement and its general pseudo-Riemannian setting, not Nomizu’s proof or the later Ricci-flat extension results.
