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.
Dirac laws converge weakly exactly when their points converge
Example
On a metric space S, if and only if . For example, on the real line .
Facts & Assumptions
Weak convergence of borel probability measures: For Borel probability measures on a metric space S, write if for every bounded continuous real function f on S. Continuity is def-metric-continuity. Such f is Borel measurable (inverse images of open sets are open) and , so the integrals are finite in def-integrable-real-and-complex-functions-and-their-integrals. No completeness or coupling is required.
Verification
Given: The objects, hypotheses and definitions in the statement. Its conclusions are to be established below.
A unit point mass is a probability: among disjoint sets at most one contains its point, so the indicator formula is countably additive. Its integral of a bounded measurable f is f at that point, first for simple functions and then by bounded approximation. If , continuity gives for each bounded continuous f. By F1 this is weak convergence.
Conversely test weak convergence with , a bounded continuous function. Its limiting integral is f(x)=0, so min(1,d(,x))->0; for <1 this forces d(,x)< eventually. Thus x_n->x. For the displayed example this distance is .

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.
