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.
Conditional expectation process is a martingale
Statement
Assume AC. For on a discrete filtered probability space, choose at each a real -measurable version of . Then is a martingale.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses and conventions in the statement.
Under AC every integrable input has a measurable integrable conditional version. Conditional expectation as an ae class.
Conditional expectations on nested sigma-algebras satisfy the tower identity. Tower property of conditional expectation.
AC supplies the inherited conditional-expectation existence and any stated choice of versions. The Axiom of Choice.
A countable union of measurable null sets is null. Finite and countable subadditivity of measures.
Proof
By conditional existence the set of real measurable integrable versions at every time is nonempty. AC selects one member for each . Thus each is -measurable and integrable, so is an integrable adapted process. AC also covers the RN existence assumption.
Since , the tower identity gives a.s. for each . This is the martingale condition Martingale submartingale and supermartingale. If representatives of these identities are specified, their measurable failure sets have probability zero; their countable union is measurable and null. This does not complete any or alter its representatives.

Dependency tree · two levels
16 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.
