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.

The regular translation system on L2(Rn): position, momentum and trivial stabilizer

Example

Assume AC and let n≥0 be an integer. Let G=Rn act on X=Rn by translation, let U=λG be the left regular representation on L2(Rn), and let P(E) be multiplication by the indicator of a Borel set E⊆Rn. Then (U,P) is a transitive system of imprimitivity on Rn=Rn/{0} with trivial stabilizer, P is the joint spectral measure of the n commuting self-adjoint position operators Mxj of multiplication by the coordinates, and U is the representation induced from the trivial representation of the trivial subgroup; the momentum operators are the self-adjoint Fourier multipliers Pj=F2−1M2πξjF2 on Dj={f∈L2:ξjF2f∈L2}, with Utej=e−itPj. With the repository convention Utej=eitTj, the full self-adjoint and derivative generators are Tj=−Pj and Gj=−iPj on Dj. On Schwartz functions, Pj=−i∂j, Tj=i∂j and Gj=−∂j; the differential notation here is asserted on that test space. The system is the classical model behind the imprimitivity theorem and behind the position-momentum form of the Stone-von Neumann uniqueness theorem.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, the translation action of Rn on itself, and the pair (U,P) with U=λG and P(E)=M1E.

[F1]
[F2]

For the multiplication PVM P(E)=M1E on L2(Rn) one has P(∅)=0, P(Rn)=I, P(E)P(F)=P(E∩F), strong countable additivity, and integration of bounded Borel functions gives multiplication by those functions (Projection valued measure, Bounded borel pvm integral).

[F3]

Translation is a continuous transitive action of Rn on itself whose stabilizer at the origin is {0}, so the base is the homogeneous space Rn/{0}=Rn; the pair (U,P) with the covariance identity is a transitive system of imprimitivity (Left group actions, transitive actions, and faithful actions, Left and right cosets gH and Hg of a subgroup, Systems of imprimitivity for a Borel G-space, Transitive systems of imprimitivity and their normalized measure class).

[F4]

The H={e} clause of the induction theorem identifies Ind⁡{0}Rn1 with the left regular representation and its canonical system with the multiplication system (An induced representation carries a canonical system of imprimitivity on G/H, Unitary induction from a closed subgroup, Strongly continuous unitary representations, invariant linear subspaces and intertwiners).

[F5]

The one-parameter groups t↦Utej are the coordinate translation groups, and their generator is computed directly on the Schwartz space: there the generator satisfies Gjf=−∂jf, so −iGjf=i∂jf, and the multiplier theorem identifies the full Fourier-side domain (Infinitesimal generator of a unitary group, Real L2 multipliers and unitary transport, Plancherel theorem, Fourier transform acts continuously on Schwartz space, Translation, modulation, linear dilation and reflection laws, Schwartz space is dense in L2, Schwartz space and its seminorms).

[F6]

For n≥1, with the metric d∞(x,y)=max⁡j∣xj−yj∣, real completeness gives convergence of Cauchy sequences and the countable dense set Qn makes Rn Polish; its Borel space is standard Borel (The reals are complete, The rationals embed densely in the reals, Q is countably infinite, A product of two at most countable sets is at most countable, Rn as the set of functions n→R, and d1, d2, d∞ are metrics on it, Polish spaces are separable completely metrizable spaces, Standard Borel spaces). For n=0, use the zero metric on the singleton R0 instead.

[F7]

AC is the standing hypothesis (The Axiom of Choice).

Verification

technique · direct

Given: AC, G=Rn, X=Rn, the translation action, U=λG on L2(Rn), and P(E)=M1E.

1.1F1F2F3algebra

For n=0, the base and group are singletons, L2(R0)=C with unit mass, U=I and P is the one-point PVM; induction from the trivial group gives this system, and there are no coordinate operators. Thus all claims hold in that case. Assume n≥1 for the remaining steps. Then U is a strongly continuous unitary representation and P is a projection-valued measure by [F1] and [F2]. Covariance is a direct computation from (Utf)(x)=f(x−t): UtP(E)Ut−1=M1E(⋅−t)=P(t+E). The action is transitive and the stabilizer of the origin is {0} by [F3], so the base is Rn/{0}=Rn with the trivial subgroup.

1.2F2F5algebra

For each j, Mxj has domain {f∈L2:xjf∈L2} and is an unbounded self-adjoint real multiplication operator by the multiplier result of [F5]. Its spectral projections are M1{x:xj∈A} for Borel A⊆R. They commute, and the joint multiplication PVM is P; the unbounded coordinate integral ∫xj dP equals Mxj on its stated domain, while bounded Borel functions of the coordinates act by the bounded integrals of [F2].

1.3F4

U is induced from the trivial representation of the trivial subgroup: by the H={e} clause of [F4], Ind⁡{0}Rn1 is the left regular representation on L2(Rn), and the canonical system of that induction is the multiplication system P.

1.4F5algebra

For Schwartz f, the difference quotient (Utejf−f)/t tends in L2 to −∂jf, by the fundamental theorem of calculus and a Schwartz majorant. To identify the full domain, apply the unitary Fourier transform of [F5]: coordinate translation becomes multiplication by e−2πitξj in the usual Fourier normalization. The derivative limit exists precisely when ξjf^∈L2: sufficiency follows from ∣(e−2πitξj−1)/t∣≤2π∣ξj∣ and dominated convergence, and necessity from an almost-everywhere convergent subsequence of any L2 limit of the quotients, whose pointwise limit is −2πiξjf^. Define Pj=F2−1M2πξjF2 on Dj={f:ξjF2f∈L2}. The multiplier theorem makes it self-adjoint and its transported exponential is Utej=e−itPj. Thus Gj=−iPj and Tj=−iGj=−Pj on the full domain Dj. On Schwartz functions the Fourier differentiation identity gives Pj=−i∂j, recovering Gj=−∂j and Tj=i∂j there. No pointwise derivative of a general L2 class is used.

2.1F6step 1.1

Standard Borel and Polish: by [F6] the metric d∞ makes Rn complete with countable dense subset Qn, so Rn is Polish and its Borel space is standard Borel, while the singleton case n=0 uses the zero metric as in step 1.1; the base with its standard Borel structure is the one used by the system.

Steps 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 2.1 verify all the displayed claims: transitivity with trivial stabilizer, the PVM as joint spectral measure of position, the induced-representation identification, the momentum generators, and the standard-Borel base.
