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 square-integrable linear shift with nonsummable physical dependence
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and Dependent Choice, and let be iid Rademacher variables (), and let in , so . Let be the least such that For , recursively choose as the least integer greater than such that Define a causal Borel filter by when this subsequence converges, and define otherwise. Then is centered and has finite second moment, but its physical-dependence coefficients satisfy Consequently : the sufficient summability hypothesis in L2-m-approximable causal Bernoulli shifts does not apply to this shift. The example makes no claim that nonsummability alone precludes every possible central limit theorem.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countably many iid Rademacher innovations, the real Hilbert space , and the replacement convention in L2-m-approximable causal Bernoulli shifts.
The countable product carrying iid Rademacher variables exists under Countable Choice and Dependent Choice (Countably many independent copies of a prescribed law exist, The Axiom of Countable Choice (), The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain).
The scalar quotient is complete and its norm is induced by the integral inner product (The space as the quotient by null functions, with the integral pairing is a Hilbert space).
Chebyshev's inequality bounds the probability of a deviation by its variance divided by the squared threshold, and the first Borel--Cantelli lemma makes events with summable probabilities occur only finitely often (Chebyshev's inequality for random variables, First Borel-Cantelli lemma for events).
The stated two-point Rademacher law gives and by the expectation definition. Independence is the independence of the generated sigma-algebras (Independent random elements); expectations of products of integrable functions of distinct independent coordinates factor (Expectation of a nonnegative or integrable random variable, Expectations factor over finite products of independent random variables).
Cauchy--Schwarz on a probability space gives ; thus convergence implies convergence of means and of norms (Cauchy-Schwarz for random variables).
Since is decreasing, , so . Since is decreasing, , so .
Proof
Given: The probability space and iid Rademacher innovations in the Statement, together with the independent replacement extension from L2-m-approximable causal Bernoulli shifts.
By [F6], the coefficient series converges and its tails tend to zero. Hence the set defining is nonempty, so its least element exists. For , once is chosen, the tail tends to zero, so some integer satisfies the required bound ; thus the least such exists. For a deterministic sign sequence , put . Each is product-measurable. The set on which is Cauchy is Borel, because the Cauchy condition is a countable combination of inequalities between these measurable real functions. On that set their limit is measurable, and extending it by zero on the complement is product-measurable. Thus is a total Borel map into the one-dimensional subspace .
On the given probability space carrying the iid innovations, the partial sums are Cauchy in , since for independence, centering and [F4] give By [F2] they converge in to a random variable . Each has mean zero and squared norm ; [F5] therefore gives and by [F6]. Choose increasing with . Taking in the finite tail-variance identity gives . Thus [F3] gives These probabilities are summable, so [F3] implies almost surely. Hence the defining subsequence filter equals almost surely. In particular is centered and The same argument applies to every shifted iid input sequence.
For fixed , the mixed sequence used by is itself iid Rademacher, so its filter is the corresponding limit. Subtracting its partial sums from those for cancels the terms and leaves The summands are independent, centered, and have variance by [F4]; finite-tail variance computation followed by convergence therefore gives .
Since is decreasing on , Thus , and the decreasing-function integral comparison gives by [F6]. The moment condition holds by step 2.1, but the required dependence-coefficient summability fails.
