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 complex exponential by its power series

Definition

Let ιR ⁣:NR\iota_{\mathbb R}\colon\mathbb N\to\mathbb R be the canonical-natural map of The canonical natural ι(n)=n1F\iota(n) = n \cdot 1_F of a field, and let j ⁣:RCj\colon\mathbb R\to\mathbb C be the real embedding j(x)=x+i0j(x)=x+i0 from The complex numbers as R2\mathbb R^2, with their arithmetic, real embedding, and imaginary unit. For every nNn\in\mathbb N, the factorial n!n! is nonzero by The factorial n!n! and the falling factorial nkn^{\underline{k}}, defined by recursion in N\mathbb{N}, so ιR(n!)>0\iota_{\mathbb R}(n!)>0 by Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing and consequently j(ιR(n!))0j(\iota_{\mathbb R}(n!))\ne0 in the complex field The complex numbers form a field, and every nonzero x+iyx+iy has inverse (xiy)/(x2+y2)(x-iy)/(x^2+y^2).

For zCz\in\mathbb C, define

expz:=n=0znj(ιR(n!)).\exp z:=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{z^n}{j(\iota_{\mathbb R}(n!))}.

whenever this complex series converges. Inside a complex expression we abbreviate the embedded denominator j(ιR(n!))j(\iota_{\mathbb R}(n!)) by n!n!, so the same definition may be written expz=zn/n!\exp z=\sum z^n/n! without identifying a natural number with a complex number. Powers and series are those of Integer powers in the complex field and Complex series, absolute convergence, complex power series, and radius of convergence. The convergence for every zCz\in\mathbb C is discharged by The complex exponential series converges absolutely for every complex argument .
