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: the p-seminorm on calligraphic Lp is a norm

Statement

On the representative space Lp(μ), the functional ffp is a norm.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A nonzero function with zero seminorm.

[L1]

The previous counterexample supplies a measurable function f≢0 with fp=0 (A nonzero function on a null set has zero Lp seminorm).

[L2]

A norm must satisfy the separation axiom N(v)=0v=0 (A norm on a real vector space, the induced metric, and the dictionary with the metric axioms).

Refutation

Proof technique: Refute with a nonzero function supported on a null set, whose seminorm is 0.

1.1

Let f be the function from [L1]. Then f0 pointwise but [L1] fp=0.

2.1

This violates the separation axiom in [L2], so the p-seminorm on [step 1.1, L2] Lp(μ) is not a norm. ∎

Dependency tree · two levels

18 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.
