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.

Weak closure of the unit sphere is the closed unit ball

Statement

Assume HB. In an infinite-dimensional real or complex normed space X, the weak closure of S={x:x=1} is B={x:x1}.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

A weak neighborhood contains finitely many coordinate disk conditions (Basic weak neighborhoods).

[F2]

Under HB, norm-closed convex sets are weakly closed (Norm closed convex iff weakly closed).

[F3]

A continuous real function on a closed bounded interval takes every value between its endpoint values, choice-free (Intermediate value theorem, by bisection with a canonical left-half rule: a continuous function on [a,b] takes every value between f(a) and f(b)).

Proof

Given: HB and infinite-dimensional X.

1.1

The ball B is convex by the triangle inequality and norm closed because xyxy. Thus B is weakly closed and contains S, giving SwB.

2.1

Fix xB and a weak neighborhood of x containing the conditions fj(yx)<ε, 1jm. There is a nonzero v with all fj(v)=0: choose m+1 independent vectors in X by finite induction; their images in Km are dependent, so a nonzero linear combination of the original vectors lies in the common kernel. This also covers m=0.

3.1

If x=1, the point x itself works. If x<1, put T=(2+x)/v. The real function h(t)=x+tv on [0,T] satisfies h(t)h(s)tsv, h(0)<1, and h(T)Tvx=2>1. The intermediate value theorem gives t[0,T] with h(t)=1. Then y=x+tvS has fj(yx)=0 for every j, so lies in the given neighborhood. Every neighborhood of every xB meets S, proving BSw and equality.

Dependency tree · two levels

22 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.
