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.
Conditional expectation as a measurable function of the conditioning variable
Statement
Assume AC. Let X,Y take values in standard-Borel E,T, and let K be a disintegration kernel giving the conditional law of X given Y. For measurable , put . Then h is measurable and
For measurable real f with , define and use the signed integral for h on D, zero off D. Then , h is real measurable, and the same identity holds.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses and conventions in the statement.
Under AC a disintegration kernel has the rectangle and all nonnegative joint-test identities. Disintegration of a joint law on standard borel spaces.
A specified RCD integrates nonnegative or integrable tests to conditional-expectation versions. Conditional integration through a regular conditional law.
Probability-kernel integration is measurable, including signed integration with zero filling. Measurability of integration against a kernel.
AC covers disintegration existence and the inherited conditional-expectation class convention. The Axiom of Choice.
Proof
The product function is measurable by the rectangle inverse-image test. Thus [F3] makes h measurable. The rectangle identities of [F1] make an RCD of X given , since the events of that sigma-algebra are exactly inverse images of measurable Y-events. Applying [F2] to this L gives as classes, under [F4]. The integral on the left is h(Y) by its definition, which proves the nonnegative clause, allowing infinity.
For real f, [F3] makes and measurable and makes the zero-filled signed h real measurable. The nonnegative test identity of [F1] gives . For every integer , , hence . Its inverse image under Y is null by the marginal definition. On that inverse-image complement the signed integral through L is h(Y), and on it both zero-fill conventions agree. The signed clause of [F2] therefore proves the stated real integrable conditional identity. Values at any fixed marginal-null fibre are not prescribed by this almost-sure identity.
