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.
Uniform lattice-shell counts and explicit Gaussian tail controllers
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. For an invertible real matrix , put and Here is the Euclidean operator norm. Uniformly over every translate and every integer shell ,
For , any integer , and integer , set For any integer satisfying , define and recursively for , Then the finite controller satisfies . Such a exists for every , , and integer .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, the full-rank cell matrix and angular reciprocal lattice from Neutral point sources and Fourier data on a three-dimensional torus, an arbitrary invertible , a translate , , integer , and .
Each coset of a full-rank lattice has a representative in its closed fundamental parallelotope, whose coordinates lie in (Fundamental parallelotopes of a lattice tile Euclidean space with covolume volume).
is the nonnegative Gaussian tail for (Gaussian screened Coulomb kernel and its self limit).
For every real there is an integer greater than (Every complete ordered field is Archimedean).
Integration by parts holds on a finite interval when the factors and derivatives satisfy the stated integrability hypotheses (If are differentiable on with integrable, then ).
Countable Choice is assumed by the Gaussian-tail and lattice-tiling interfaces used here (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Proof
Under Countable Choice [A1], use [F1] to replace modulo by a vector with . Thus . If lies in the shell , then . The number of integer triples with this bound is at most , proving the uniform shell count.
Choose with , which exists by [F3]. For , the derivative of has the sign of , so is nonincreasing. Therefore . Expanding by the binomial theorem gives .
The formulas for and follow by the substitutions and . For , choose an integer ; shows is integrable at infinity. Apply [F4] on and let ; the same inequality makes the boundary term vanish. This gives . Hence the finite sum through plus the integral tail in step 1.2 equals and bounds .
Remarks
- The shell estimate is intentionally coarse. Its cubic factor is enough because every later term has Gaussian decay; no asymptotic lattice-point theorem is used.
- For real-space estimates take . For reciprocal estimates take , whose lattice points are exactly the angular physical frequencies .
