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.
The canonical white-noise law is tight under the Axiom of Choice
Statement
Assume AC. For , the canonical white-noise law on the Polish space from White noise is a Borel Gaussian law on the negative Sobolev space is tight.
Facts & Assumptions
White noise is a Borel Gaussian law on the negative Sobolev space: The white-noise coefficient series defines a Borel probability law on for .
Prokhorov tightness theorem on polish spaces: Assume AC. A family of Borel probabilities on a Polish space is tight if and only if it is relatively sequentially compact for weak convergence.
Polish spaces are separable completely metrizable spaces: A Polish space is separable and completely metrizable.
Logarithmic negative Sobolev spaces for white noise: is separable and complete with its weighted coefficient norm.
The Axiom of Choice: AC is used exactly in applying Prokhorov's theorem in step 2.1.
Given: AC, , and the Borel probability on .
Proof
By [F4], is separable and complete; the definition of Polish space [F3] therefore makes it Polish.
Every sequence in the singleton family is constant and therefore converges weakly to ; thus is relatively sequentially compact. Applying [F2] under [A1] proves that , and hence the law , is tight.

Dependency tree · two levels
26 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
