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.

A metric for convergence in probability

Definition

For almost-sure equivalence classes [X],[Y] of real random variables on a probability space, set d0([X],[Y]):=E[min(1,XY)]. The expectation is that of Expectation of a nonnegative or integrable random variable. The following theorem proves this is independent of representatives and is a metric; until then the display is a proposed formula on classes. Durrett's exercise uses the comparable bounded transform t/(1+t) rather than min(1,t); the next theorem proves the displayed variant directly.

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
