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.
Complex logarithms, the principal logarithm, and principal and multivalued complex powers
Definition
For with principal polar form , , define the principal logarithm The set of all complex logarithms of is For , define the principal power and the multivalued power respectively by Thus the first is one specified complex number and the second is a set of complex numbers; neither notation silently identifies them. The conventions and prerequisite facts used below are recorded in Every nonzero complex number has a unique polar form with and , The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, The complex exponential by its power series, The complex numbers form a field, and every nonzero has inverse .
Depends on
- Every nonzero complex number has a unique polar form $r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)$ with $r>0$ and $-\pi<\theta\le\pi$
- The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function
- The complex exponential by its power series
- The complex numbers form a field, and every nonzero $x+iy$ has inverse $(x-iy)/(x^2+y^2)$
