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.

Hadamard-lacunary sequences and lacunary trigonometric series

Definition

Use the circle, normalized measure, and characters $e_{k} (x) = e^{2 π i k x}$ from Period-one Fourier coefficients, partial sums, and convolution on the torus. A strictly increasing sequence $(λ_{j})_{j \geq 1}$ of positive integers is Hadamard-lacunary with ratio $q$ if one fixed $q > 1$ satisfies

$λ_{j + 1} \geq q λ_{j} (j \geq 1) .$

A finite lacunary trigonometric sum is $\sum_{j \in J} a_{j} e_{λ_{j}}$ for a finite $J \subset N_{> 0}$ ; a lacunary trigonometric series is the corresponding formal series over $j \geq 1$ . The ratio condition, rather than merely $λ_{j + 1} - λ_{j} \to \infty$ , is part of this definition.

Dependency tree · two levels

8 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.
