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 determinant quotient is a biholomorphic invariant
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). Let be bounded domains, let be a biholomorphism with complex Jacobian , and let be the matrix of the Bergman metric form in the one-based coordinate aliases of The Levi form and strict plurisubharmonicity. Then, for every ,
and consequently
If each quotient is constant on its domain, then the two constants are equal. (For these quotients are the invariants that distinguish the ball metric from the polydisc metric, but constancy is not claimed here.)
Facts & Assumptions
The only choice assumption is (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()), inherited through the Bergman metric, kernel and transformation suppliers; no full Axiom of Choice is used.
The Bergman metric form of a bounded domain is the Hermitian form with matrix , and (The Bergman metric form on a bounded domain, The Levi form and strict plurisubharmonicity).
A biholomorphism of bounded domains satisfies for all (The Bergman metric is positive definite on bounded domains and biholomorphically invariant).
A biholomorphism satisfies with ; in particular the diagonal kernel law holds (Transformation law of the Bergman kernel under a biholomorphism).
On a bounded domain, for every (Smoothness of the Bergman kernel and positivity of its diagonal on bounded domains).
For over a commutative ring, , and transposition leaves the determinant unchanged; the determinant is multiplicative: (For , the determinant over a commutative ring by the Leibniz formula, and for a real matrix, Finite rectangular matrices over a commutative ring, their entries, rows and columns, For every square matrix over a commutative ring, , For same-sized finite square matrices over a commutative ring, ).
Complex conjugation is a field automorphism of fixing the rationals, so it commutes with finite sums and products of complex numbers (Conjugation is an involutive real-field automorphism, , and modulus is definite, multiplicative, and subadditive).
Matrices multiply by the usual row-column rule, and has entries (Entrywise ring-matrix operations, rectangular matrix products, identity matrices and transpose, Finite rectangular matrices over a commutative ring, their entries, rows and columns).
Proof
Given: , bounded domains , a biholomorphism , a point , and .
Put and , with entries and in the one-based aliases. By [F1] and [F2], for all , Since the Hermitian form is determined by its coefficients, , which is the entry of because by [F7]; in matrix notation .
Conjugation is a field automorphism of [F6] applied entrywise to the Leibniz sum of [F5] gives ; since transposition leaves determinants unchanged [F5], .
Taking determinants in the matrix identity of step 1.1 and using multiplicativity and transposition invariance [F5] gives , the first displayed identity. The second displayed identity is the diagonal kernel law of [F3] with , whose determinant is nonzero.
By [F4] the diagonal values and are positive, and by [F3]; dividing the two identities of step 2.1 by each other and cancelling the common positive factor gives the displayed identity of the quotients for every . If each quotient is constant on its domain, evaluating the identity at any shows the two constants are equal.
