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 bounded holomorphic function on all of is constant
Statement
Let and let be holomorphic. If there is a real such that for every , then is constant.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A holomorphic function and a real such that for every .
The composite of holomorphic maps is holomorphic and its complex Jacobian is the product (The composite of holomorphic maps is holomorphic and its complex Jacobian is the product).
Every bounded entire function of one complex variable is constant (Liouville's theorem: every bounded entire function is constant).
Holomorphic functions on open subsets of are those of Holomorphic functions on an open subset of , and they are continuous (A holomorphic function of several variables is continuous and separately holomorphic).
Proof
Fix . The map defined by is holomorphic, so by [L1] the composite is holomorphic; and for every one has , so [L2] makes constant on .
Evaluating the constant function at and gives . Since was arbitrary, is constant on .
Remarks
- No connectedness argument is needed. Every point is compared directly with the origin along the complex line it spans, so the conclusion is pointwise and not topological.

40 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.
