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 constant potential has no canonical Gibbs probability on the line
Example
On , take , any fixed mass , friction , and inverse temperature . The configurational partition integral diverges, so the canonical Gibbs expression does not define a probability. The momentum factor is normalizable but cannot repair the infinite configurational factor.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: for every , , , , and the canonical normalizer in Underdamped Langevin equation and canonical Gibbs density.
Underdamped Langevin equation and canonical Gibbs density: a canonical Gibbs probability requires a finite positive normalizing integral .
The Axiom of Choice: AC is inherited from the model-definition interface [F1]; the finite-rectangle lower bound uses no further choice.
Verification
Given: for every , , , , and the canonical normalizer in Underdamped Langevin equation and canonical Gibbs density.
[F1] Underdamped Langevin equation and canonical Gibbs density: a canonical Gibbs probability requires a finite positive normalizing integral .
[A1] The Axiom of Choice: AC is inherited from the model-definition interface [F1]; the finite-rectangle lower bound uses no further choice.
Given: The data in the Example.
For every , . These integrals are unbounded as , so .
On the finite rectangle the phase-space integrand is at least , so its integral is at least . These lower bounds diverge as , hence the full normalizer is infinite and the expression cannot be normalized to a probability.

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
