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.

FALSE: representatives of every $L^{p}$ -Cauchy sequence converge pointwise almost everywhere

Statement

For every Cauchy sequence $(u_{n})$ in $L^{p} (μ)$ and every choice of measurable representatives $f_{n} \in u_{n}$ , the sequence $(f_{n})$ converges pointwise almost everywhere.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The published typewriter-sequence false statement.

[L1]

The published false statement FALSE: convergence in L^1(mu) forces almost-everywhere convergence supplies a sequence converging in $L^{1}$ but not almost everywhere.

Refutation

technique · Refute in $L^1$ by the published typewriter witness: the sequence converges in norm and therefore is Cauchy, but it has no pointwise limit anywhere on $[0,1]$

1.1L1given

The sequence from [L1] converges in $L^{1}$ , hence is Cauchy in $L^{1}$ .

2.1L1step 1.1

The same source records representatives that fail to converge almost [L1, step 1.1] everywhere. So representatives of a Cauchy sequence in $L^{p}$ need not converge pointwise almost everywhere.

3.1step 2.1∎

Therefore the universal claim is false.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
