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.

Realification preserves a complex norm and its metric

Statement

Let (V,N) be a complex normed space and define dN(u,v):=N(u−v) for u,v∈V. On the realification VR, the same function N is a real norm. The underlying set, addition, norm values, and induced metric dN are unchanged.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A complex normed space (V,N) and its realification VR. For each r∈R, write λr for its canonical complex image.

[F1]

N:V→R separates zero, is homogeneous for every complex scalar by the complex modulus, and satisfies the triangle inequality (Complex norm and complex normed space).

[F2]

Realification has the same underlying set and addition, and its real scalar action is the complex scalar action restricted along the canonical real embedding (Realification of a complex vector space by restriction of scalars).

[F3]

For every real r, the complex modulus of its canonical image λr is ∣r∣R (Complex modulus restricts to real absolute value).

[F4]

A real norm separates zero, is absolutely homogeneous for real scalars, and satisfies the triangle inequality (A norm on a real vector space, the induced metric, and the dictionary with the metric axioms).

[F5]

The induced real norm metric is the function dN(u,v)=N(u−v), which is a metric (A norm on a real vector space, the induced metric, and the dictionary with the metric axioms).

Proof

1.1F1F2

Since realification preserves the set, zero vector, and addition, the separation and triangle conditions in [F1] hold unchanged on VR. The codomain remains R.

2.1F1F2F3F4step 1.1

For r∈R and v∈V, [F2] gives r⋅VRv=λrv. Hence [F1] and [F3] give N(r⋅VRv)=N(λrv)=∣λr∣CN(v)=∣r∣RN(v). Together with step 1.1, this is exactly the real norm criterion [F4].

3.1F2F5step 2.1∎

The set and addition are unchanged by [F2], so additive inverses and differences are unchanged as well. The realified norm's induced metric is therefore N(u−v) by [F5], the same function dN defined in the statement, with the same values on the same pairs.
