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.
Linear isometries, and orthogonal or unitary operators on finite-dimensional inner product spaces
Definition
A linear map (Linear map between vector spaces over the same field) between inner product spaces (Real and complex inner product spaces, with the inner product linear in the first argument) is a linear isometry if
for every , where the norm is the induced norm The norm induced by a real or complex inner product. An invertible linear isometry from a real finite-dimensional inner product space to itself is an orthogonal operator; over it is a unitary operator.
Equivalently, once the finite-dimensional characterisation is proved, orthogonal and unitary operators are the endomorphisms satisfying .

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.
