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 boundary atom gives an h1 function without an L1 density

Example

Assume the Axiom of Choice and fix ζ0∈T, and put u:=P[δζ0], so that u(z)=P(z,ζ0) for z∈D. Then:

  1. u>0 everywhere, u is harmonic, and u∈h1(D) with ∥u∥h1=1;
  2. u has no representing L1 density: there is no f∈L1(T,m) with u=P[f];
  3. u(z)→0 whenever z→ζ in D with ζ∈T∖{ζ0};
  4. u(rζ0)=1+r1−r for every 0≤r<1, so u(rζ0)→+∞ as r↑1 and u is unbounded on D.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Choice, hence countable choice; a point ζ0∈T; the Dirac measure δζ0; the density-measure and Poisson-integral conventions of [L2]; and u=P[δζ0].

[L1]

The torus T=R/Z is compact Hausdorff with a countable base, and φ:T→S1, φ([t])=e2πit, is a bijection onto the Euclidean unit circle, so ∣φ(ζ)∣=1 and φ is injective. Its normalized Haar measure m is a probability measure with m(E)=λ1(q−1[E]∩[0,1)) for Borel E; every fibre q−1{ζ} is at most countable, so m({ζ0})=0, and the integral of an L1 function over an m-null set vanishes (The one-dimensional torus and its normalized Haar integral, Finite tori are compact Hausdorff spaces separated by characters, Every at most countable subset of Rn is Lebesgue null; in particular λ1(Q)=0, A nonnegative integral over a null set vanishes).

[L2]

For a finite regular complex Borel measure μ on T one has P[μ](z)=∫TP(z,ζ) dμ(ζ) with P(z,ζ)=(1−∣z∣2)/∣φ(ζ)−z∣2>0; for f∈L1(T,m) the density measure is (fm)(E)=∫Ef dm and P[f]=P[fm] (The Poisson integral of a finite complex boundary measure, The Poisson kernel on the unit disc).

[L3]

Under the Axiom of Choice every u∈h1(D) has a unique finite regular complex Borel measure μ on T with u=P[μ] and ∥u∥h1=∣μ∣(T); conversely every finite regular complex Borel measure μ on T gives an h1 function P[μ] with ∥P[μ]∥h1=∣μ∣(T); and a general h1 function need not have an L1 density (h1 is isometric to finite regular complex boundary measures).

[L4]

The elements of h1(D) are complex harmonic functions and ∥u∥h1=sup⁡0≤r<1∥ur∥L1(T,m) (Harmonic Hardy classes on the unit disc).

[L5]

δζ0 is a probability measure with δζ0({ζ0})=1 and δζ0(T)=1; for bounded Borel h the evaluation identity ∫Th dδζ0=h(ζ0) is proved locally in step 1.1 from these facts and the definition of the integral (The Dirac set function at a point, A Dirac set function is a probability measure).

[L6]

The integral against a signed or complex measure is defined as the limit of simple integrals along L1(∣ν∣)-approximating complex simple functions and does not depend on the approximating sequence; a probability measure is a finite signed measure and a finite complex measure, and for a measure ρ≥0 viewed as a signed measure one has ∣ρ∣(E)=ρ(E) for every Borel E (Integration against a signed or complex measure, and the class L^1(nu) = L^1(|nu|), The simple integral against a signed or complex measure, The total variation |nu|(E) from countable measurable partitions, A signed measure is countably additive and takes at most one infinite value, Measures on sigma-algebras, A complex measure is a finite-valued countably additive set function).

[L7]

Assume countable choice. Every Borel measure on a second-countable LCH space that is finite on compact sets is regular, so δζ0 is a finite regular Borel measure and hence a finite regular complex Borel measure; a complex measure μ is regular exactly when its total variation ∣μ∣ is regular. A density measure fm with f∈L1(T,m) is a complex measure with ∣fm∣(E)=∫E∣f∣ dm, so ∣fm∣(T)=∥f∥1<∞ and fm is likewise finite regular (Locally finite Borel measures on second-countable LCH spaces are regular, Regular complex Borel measures, A complex L^1 density defines a complex measure whose total variation is |h| dmu, The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

Integrating bounded Borel functions against δζ0. Since δζ0 is a probability measure, ∣δζ0∣=δζ0 and δζ0(T)=1 by [L6] and [L5]. Let h be a bounded Borel function on T and let s:=h(ζ0)1T, a complex simple function with simple integral ∫Ts dδζ0=h(ζ0) δζ0(T)=h(ζ0). The constant sequence (s) is admissible in the definition of ∫Th dδζ0, because ∣h−s∣=∣h−h(ζ0)∣ is a nonnegative measurable function with ∫T∣h−s∣ d∣δζ0∣=0: the integrand vanishes at ζ0 and is supported on T∖{ζ0}, which is δζ0-null by [L5], so its integral vanishes by A nonnegative integral over a null set vanishes. Hence ∫Th dδζ0=h(ζ0).

2.1givenstep 1.1L2

The function u is the translate of the kernel. Fix z∈D. The function ζ↦P(z,ζ) is continuous on T by [L2], hence bounded Borel, so step 1.1 and the definition of the Poisson integral give u(z)=∫TP(z,ζ) dδζ0(ζ)=P(z,ζ0)=(1−∣z∣2)/∣φ(ζ0)−z∣2, and this is strictly positive because ∣φ(ζ0)−z∣≥1−∣z∣>0.

3.1step 2.1L3L4L5L6L7

Membership and norm. By [L7] the Dirac measure is a finite regular complex Borel measure, so the converse clause of [L3] shows that u=P[δζ0] lies in h1(D) with ∥u∥h1=∣δζ0∣(T)=δζ0(T)=1, and u is harmonic by [L4].

3.2step 2.1L1L2algebra

Limits at the other boundary points. Let ζ∈T∖{ζ0} and let zm→ζ with zm∈D. Then step 2.1 gives u(zm)=(1−∣zm∣2)/∣φ(ζ0)−zm∣2; here 1−∣zm∣2→0, while by injectivity of φ and ζ≠ζ0 one has φ(ζ0)≠ζ, so ∣φ(ζ0)−zm∣2→∣φ(ζ0)−ζ∣2>0. Hence u(zm)→0: the limit is 0 at every boundary point other than ζ0, along arbitrary sequences inside the disc.

3.3step 2.1L1L2algebra

The radial blow-up at ζ0. For 0≤r<1 one has φ(ζ0)−rφ(ζ0)=(1−r)φ(ζ0) with ∣φ(ζ0)∣=1, so step 2.1 gives u(rζ0)=1−r2(1−r)2=1+r1−r. As r↑1 the numerator tends to 2 and the denominator to 0 through positive values, so u(rζ0)→+∞; in particular u is unbounded on D.

4.1step 3.1step 2.1L1L2L3L5L7

No L1 density. Suppose f∈L1(T,m) satisfied P[f]=u. Then P[fm]=P[f]=u=P[δζ0], and by [L7] the density measure fm is a finite complex measure with ∣fm∣(T)=∥f∥1<∞, hence a finite regular complex Borel measure; being finite and regular it is one of the measures to which the uniqueness clause of [L3] applies, so fm=δζ0. Evaluating both sides at the singleton {ζ0} gives 0=∫{ζ0}f dm=(fm)({ζ0})=δζ0({ζ0})=1: the middle integral vanishes because m({ζ0})=0 and f∈L1(T,m), while the last value is 1 by [L5]. This contradiction shows that no f∈L1(T,m) represents u.

Assembly. Steps 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 3.2 and 3.3 establish, respectively, the identification u(z)=P(z,ζ0)>0, the membership u∈h1(D) with norm 1 and harmonicity, the absence of a representing L1 density, the boundary limit 0 at every point other than ζ0, and the radial formula u(rζ0)=(1+r)/(1−r)→+∞. So the boundary atom δζ0 produces an unbounded positive h1 function whose boundary measure is singular with respect to m and which therefore has no L1 density; the Axiom of Choice is used only through the representation theorem [L3] and the countable-choice regularity corollary [L7]. ∎
