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.

Dual lattice and covolume for a diagonal scaling

Example

Let a1,…,an∈R∖{0} and let A=diag⁡(a1,…,an). For Λ=AZn the covolume is covol⁡(Λ)=∏i=1n∣ai∣ and the dual lattice is Λ∗=diag⁡(a1−1,…,an−1)Zn={(m1a1,…,mnan):m∈Zn}, since A−T=A−1 for a diagonal matrix. In one dimension, covol⁡(aZ)=∣a∣ and (aZ)∗=a−1Z; for the sampling spacing a=h>0 this is the pair hZ and h−1Z of the sampling results on this pair.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Reals a1,…,an≠0, the diagonal matrix A=diag⁡(a1,…,an) with entries Aij=ai when i=j and Aij=0 otherwise, and the lattice Λ=AZn with the covolume and dual lattice of Full-rank lattices, covolume, and the dual lattice.

[F1]

For a diagonal matrix the only nonzero term of the Leibniz sum det⁡A=∑σ∈Snsgn⁡(σ)∏i=1nAσ(i),i (For n≥1, the determinant over a commutative ring by the Leibniz formula, and ∣det⁡A∣ for a real matrix) is the identity permutation, and A−1=diag⁡(ai−1) because (AA−1)ij=∑kAikak−1δkj=δij (Rectangular matrix multiplication and the identity matrix In, including zero-sized shapes, Invertible matrices and the general linear group GL⁡n(F)).

[F2]

covol⁡(Λ)=∣det⁡A∣ and the dual lattice is Λ∗=A−TZn with A−T=(A−1)T (Full-rank lattices, covolume, and the dual lattice); the transpose of a diagonal matrix is itself.

Verification

1.1F1F2givenalgebra

Each off-diagonal entry of A vanishes, so for every permutation σ≠id⁡ some factor Aσ(i),i with σ(i)≠i is zero and only σ=id⁡ contributes: det⁡A=∏i=1nai≠0 by [F1]. Hence A is invertible with inverse diag⁡(a1−1,…,an−1), as the product computation (AA−1)ij=δij shows [F1]. Therefore covol⁡(Λ)=∣det⁡A∣=∏i=1n∣ai∣, and since a diagonal matrix equals its transpose, A−T=A−1=diag⁡(ai−1), so Λ∗=diag⁡(a1−1,…,an−1)Zn, which is the displayed set of tuples (m1/a1,…,mn/an) with m∈Zn by [F2] and the definition of AZn.

For n=1 the matrix is (a1) with a1=a≠0, giving covol⁡(aZ)=∣a∣ and (aZ)∗=a−1Z; at the sampling spacing a=h>0 this is exactly the pair hZ, h−1Z used by the sampling results, whose dual lattice is again full-rank and satisfies covol⁡(Λ∗)=covol⁡(Λ)−1=h−1
