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.

Scalar Brownian bridge from x to y

Definition

Assume AC. Let h>0, x,y∈R, and let W be a standard scalar Brownian motion on [0,h]. The scalar Brownian bridge from x to y over duration h is the continuous Gaussian process Btx,y,h=x+th(y−x)+Wt−thWh,0≤t≤h. It starts at x and ends at y. Its law does not depend on which Brownian motion is used: Brownian increment laws determine its finite-dimensional laws. For the path-law assertion, give C([0,h]) the uniform topology and extend each path f by Ehf(s)=f(s∧h) for s≥0. This is a homeomorphism onto the closed subspace of C([0,∞)) consisting of paths constant after h, with inverse restriction to [0,h]. Thus Borel sigma-algebra of continuous path space is generated by coordinates makes the Borel sigma-algebra on C([0,h]) generated by its coordinates: coordinates of the extension after h equal f(h), and continuity recovers every coordinate, including h, from rational times in [0,h]. Equality on finite coordinate cylinders now gives equality of path laws by Dynkin's pi-lambda theorem. The endpoint-conditional and restriction-density properties are established separately on the A page.

Dependency tree · two levels

30 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.
