Uniqueness of integral curves of a C¹ vector field on a closed interval from an endpoint, through interior points
ProvedAnosovPlugs.isMIntegralCurveOn_uIcc_eqLet be a Hausdorff smooth 3-manifold with boundary (modelled on the closed half-space) and let be a C¹ vector field on . An integral curve of on a set of times is a curve whose derivative within at every is (Mathlib's IsMIntegralCurveOn; at the endpoints of an interval the derivative is one-sided). We write for the closed interval between and , in either order (Mathlib's uIcc 0 t). Let and be integral curves of on with , and assume that every point , , is an interior point of . Then
In words: uniqueness of integral curves of a C¹ vector field on a closed time interval, starting from the common endpoint , when one of the two curves runs through interior points. A general fact, not stated in the paper; it is one of the facts behind footnote 2 of Section 1 (p. 2 of arXiv v1: the differentiable structure on W is compatible with those of U and V by restriction) and behind the fourth and fifth sentences of the proof of Proposition 1.1 (Section 3.1 of arXiv v1, p. 14), which state without proof that Λ_Z contains Λ_X and Λ_Y (through the inclusions) and use, without comment, that Λ_X and Λ_Y are hyperbolic sets of Z. It generalizes the companion statement flowMap_eq_of_isMIntegralCurve (which needs a complete first curve) and is used in the proof of plugGluing_local_conjugacy to identify the integral curve chosen by the mission's time- map with a given curve.
Formalization Note The interior hypothesis is on only, as in Mathlib's uniqueness theorem isMIntegralCurveOn_Ioo_eqOn_of_contMDiff, which this statement extends from open intervals with an interior common point to closed intervals with the common point at an endpoint (by gluing a short-time integral curve on the other side of ). No compactness is assumed. The Hausdorff hypothesis is a hypothesis of isMIntegralCurveOn_Ioo_eqOn_of_contMDiff and also closes the far endpoint of the interval; it cannot be dropped (on with a doubled point, two integral curves of a constant field through the two copies of the point agree at time and differ later). C¹ is the mission's IsC1VectorField.
