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.
Hilbert space
Definition
A real Hilbert space is a real inner-product space whose induced-length metric is complete: every Cauchy sequence in for the norm converges to a point of . A complex Hilbert space is a complex inner-product space with the same completeness property, so that a Hilbert space is exactly a real or complex inner-product space that is a Banach space for its induced norm (Banach space).
The completion convention is the Cauchy-sequence one. Banach space defines completeness by convergence of Cauchy sequences, and this page keeps that convention throughout. It is weaker than -completeness — the assertion that every decreasing sequence of nonempty closed subsets with diameters tending to zero has a nonempty intersection. The two agree in ZFC, but Blackadar, Farah and Karagila note that the closest-point theorem on a -complete inner-product space is provable in ZF, whereas the Cauchy-complete form used below consumes the Axiom of Countable Choice; nothing here silently imports the stronger notion.
