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 missing-angle covector has no data-side canonical pair

Example

Let Θ⊂S1 be a nonempty proper open set of line normals, invariant under θ↦−θ, and suppose S1∖Θ‾ contains an open arc. Restrict the Euclidean Radon incidence relation to

ZΘ={(θ,s,x)∈(Θ×R)×R2:s=x⋅θ}.

Give ZΘ the standard nowhere vanishing analytic total density ∣dθ ds dt∣, with x=sθ+tθ⊥, and constant weight 1. This is a properly supported analytic double fibration. For any x0∈R2 and any nonzero covector ξ0∈Tx0∗R2 with ξ0/∣ξ0∣∉Θ, there are no (θ,s)∈Θ×R and no data covector η such that (θ,s,η;x0,ξ0)∈CZΘ. In particular, this object covector has no data-side canonical pair for the restricted-angle transform.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The open antipodally symmetric set Θ, the incidence submanifold ZΘ, and the invisible covector (x0,ξ0).

[F1]

The Euclidean Radon transform on R²: the line with normal θ and signed offset s is given by s=x⋅θ.

[F2]

Visible covectors for limited-angle data: a nonzero plane covector is visible exactly when its unit direction lies in Θ; Θ is antipodally symmetric.

[F3]

Distributions, conormal kernels, and cotangent relations: (θ,s,η;x,ξ) belongs to the incidence relation exactly when (θ,s,x;η,−ξ) is a nonzero conormal to ZΘ.

[F4]

Incidence-coordinate conormal kernel and canonical relation: if F(θ,s,x)=0 defines the incidence hypersurface, its conormal covectors are scalar multiples of dF.

[F5]

Analytic double-fibration transform and canonical relation: both incidence projections must be analytic submersions and the support condition is properness over compact object supports.

[F6]

Real analytic inverse and implicit functions: a regular zero of a real-analytic scalar function is locally an analytic hypersurface.

Proof

Given: The data in the example.

1.1F1F6givenalgebra

The defining function F(θ,s,x)=s−x⋅θ is real analytic and has ∂sF=1. Thus dF is surjective at every point of ZΘ, and [F6] makes ZΘ an analytic hypersurface of dimension 3.

1.2F1F3F4algebra

Use a local angular coordinate α on S1, so ∂αθ=θ⊥. The defining function F(θ,s,x)=s−x⋅θ has differential dF=ds−(x⋅θ⊥)dα−θ⋅dx. By [F4], a conormal covector is τdF for a nonzero scalar τ. Matching its data components and object component with the sign convention [F3] gives ηs=τ,ηα=−τx⋅θ⊥,ξ=τθ. Thus any object covector in the relation is parallel to the measured normal θ.

2.1F5step 1.1algebrachoose

A tangent vector satisfies s˙−x˙⋅θ−x⋅θ˙=0. Given any data tangent pair (θ˙,s˙), choose x˙=(s˙−x⋅θ˙)θ; then πG has a tangent lift and is a submersion. Given any object tangent vector x˙, choose θ˙=0, s˙=x˙⋅θ; hence πX is a submersion. Both maps are analytic restrictions of product projections and 4>3>2≥2. The displayed analytic total density is nowhere zero in these incidence coordinates. For compact K⊂R2 and compact L⊂Θ×R, the preimage of L under πG∣πX−1(K) is closed in pr⁡1(L)×K, which is compact because pr⁡1(L)⋐Θ. Thus the restricted projection is proper and [F5] applies.

3.1F2step 1.2given∎

If (θ,s,η;x0,ξ0)∈CZΘ, step 1.2 implies ξ0/∣ξ0∣=θ or −θ. Since Θ=−Θ, this would place ξ0/∣ξ0∣ in Θ, contradicting the hypothesis. No such data covector exists.

Geometric diagram

The diagram chooses Θ to be two small antipodal arcs around the horizontal normals. The vertical covector ξ0 lies in the open missing arc, so it cannot be parallel to a measured normal. The proof uses the conormal equation above, not the drawing.
