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.

Transposes of the right and left shifts

Example

Let K=R or C. On c0(K) or ℓ1(K), define R(x0,x1,…)=(0,x0,x1,…),L(x0,x1,…)=(x1,x2,…). Under the dual pairing, the transposes on ℓ1 (for domain c0) and on ℓ∞ (for domain ℓ1) satisfy R∗=L and L∗=R.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The spaces, maps, scalar field, and hypotheses in the statement above. All duals consist of linear functionals over the ambient field; evaluation has no conjugation.

[F1]

From The transpose of a bounded operator, with its stated hypotheses: Let K=R or C. Let T:X→Y be bounded and linear between normed spaces. Its transpose, or Banach adjoint, is T∗:Y∗⟶X∗,(T∗g)(x)=g(Tx). The duals are def-dual-space-of-a-normed-space. Composition is bounded by lem-composition-operator-norm-inequality, so this has the displayed codomain. It is linear in g over K. No complex conjugation is inserted; a Hilbert adjoint uses a separate inner-product identification.

[F2]

From The continuous dual of c0 is ell-one, with its stated hypotheses: Let K=R or C. With coordinates starting at zero, the map ℓ1(K)⟶c0(K)∗,a⟼fa,fa(x)=∑n=0∞anxn is a linear isometric bijection. The pairing is bilinear, including over C.

[F3]

From The complex continuous dual of ell-one is ell-infinity, with its stated hypotheses: For complex sequence spaces, with indices starting at zero, ℓ∞(C)⟶ℓ1(C)∗,b⟼hb,hb(a)=∑n=0∞bnan is a complex-linear isometric bijection. There is no conjugation in this pairing.

[F4]

From Counting measure specializes the representation theorem to ℓp and ℓq, with its stated hypotheses: Let 1≤p<∞ and let q be conjugate to p. Every bounded linear functional Λ:ℓp→R is of the form Λ(a)=∑n=0∞anbn for a unique sequence b∈ℓq. Moreover, ∥Λ∥=∥b∥ℓq.

Verification

1.1given

Both shifts preserve null sequences; inserting or deleting a coordinate also preserves absolute summability and boundedness. Each is linear, R preserves the relevant norm, and L is contractive. This verifies that all displayed operators have the stated spaces as domain and codomain, including on zero inputs.

2.1F1F2step 1.1

For x∈c0 and a∈ℓ1, the absolutely convergent pairings give ∑n≥0an(Rx)n=∑n≥0an+1xn and ∑n≥0an(Lx)n=∑n≥1an−1xn. These are the pairings of La and Ra with x, respectively. Hence R∗=L and L∗=R on ℓ1.

3.1F1F3F4step 1.1step 2.1∎

For x∈ℓ1 and bounded a, the same two series are absolutely convergent, since their absolute sums are at most ∥a∥∞∥x∥1. The complex dual identification, or the real counting-measure identification at p=1, therefore gives the same transpose formulas on ℓ∞. The inserted zeroth coordinate is essential in the formula for Ra.
