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.
Bounded multipliers on compact self-adjoint eigenspaces define bounded operators
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. Let , be an -Hilbert space, and let be compact and self-adjoint. Let be its set of nonzero eigenvalues, , the orthogonal projection onto , and the orthogonal projection onto . If is bounded, then for every the finite-subset net converges in norm to a vector . The map is bounded and linear, with .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, a real or complex Hilbert space , a compact self-adjoint , its set of nonzero eigenvalues, their eigenspaces , the orthogonal projections onto those spaces, and the orthogonal projection onto .
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): Countable Choice is the choice assumption in the compact self-adjoint spectral theorem; full Choice is not needed here.
Spectral theorem for compact self adjoint operators: The nonzero eigenspaces are mutually orthogonal, is at most countable, and .
Orthogonal decomposition by a closed subspace: A closed subspace and its orthogonal complement give a unique orthogonal decomposition.
Orthogonality and the orthogonal complement: Distinct vectors in orthogonal eigenspaces have zero inner product.
Real and complex inner product spaces, with the inner product linear in the first argument: The inner product is positive definite.
The operator norm as the least bound and as the unit-sphere or unit-ball supremum: The operator norm is the supremum of over .
Square-summable families on an arbitrary index set and the space : For a nonnegative family, its sum is the supremum of its finite subsums; if this sum is finite, tails outside a suitable finite set have arbitrarily small sum.
The Cauchy-sequence reals have the least-upper-bound property: Every nonempty bounded-above set of real numbers has a supremum.
Proof
Write with using [F1]–[F2]. For a finite , the vectors are mutually orthogonal by [F1] and [F3]; their sum is the orthogonal projection of onto the finite orthogonal sum of the spaces . Pythagoras therefore gives .
The set is nonempty and bounded, so [F8] gives its finite supremum . For finite , orthogonality and step 1.1 give . Put . Step 1.1 bounds every finite subsum of by , so [F7] gives a finite sum with tails arbitrarily small. If , every weighted spectral term vanishes. Otherwise, for any , choose a finite with . For finite , orthogonality gives . Thus the finite-subset net is Cauchy; completeness of makes it norm-convergent.
Finite partial sums are linear in , so taking their norm limits shows that is linear. Orthogonality and convergence of the finite-subset net give , with the nonnegative sum understood as in [F7]. Thus is bounded and [F6] gives .

83 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.
