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.
Real and complex inner product spaces, with the inner product linear in the first argument
Definition
Let be either or , with conjugation equal to the identity on and with complex conjugation as in Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus. An inner product on an -vector space is a function such that for all and :
- ;
- ;
- is real and nonnegative, and if and only if .
The first two clauses imply conjugate-linearity in the second argument: . This is the linear-first convention of Sesquilinear and Hermitian forms over a field with an involution, using the convention linear in the first variable. A vector space equipped with an inner product is an inner product space.

Dependency tree · two levels
7 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.
