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 dyadic martingale converges to the original L1 variable
Statement
Assume AC. On , let be generated by the dyadic half-open intervals of length , using and the null singleton . For every , almost surely and in .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses, objects, and conventions in the Statement.
Nonempty intersections of sigma-algebras are sigma-algebras, so the generated sigma-algebra exists and is minimal identifies the -algebra generated by the dyadic cells.
Levy upward convergence of conditional expectations gives the limit along an increasing filtration.
Conditioning a known variable and an independent variable identifies conditioning a measurable variable with itself.
The Axiom of Choice is inherited from conditional expectation.
Proof
Every positive-length level- cell is the union of its two level- children, while the singleton is itself a generator at every level. Hence . Dyadic half-open intervals form a countable base for the relative topology of : every open interval is the countable union of dyadic cells whose closures lie inside it, with endpoints handled by the stated convention. Thus F1 gives .
F2 gives almost surely and in . Since is -measurable, F3 identifies the latter conditional expectation with . The singleton endpoint convention changes no or almost-sure statement. AC is used exactly through F4.

Dependency tree · two levels
15 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.
