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.
Formal residues satisfy integration by parts, logarithmic differentiation, and change of variables
Statement
Let be a field. For ,
For nonzero ,
where the integer on the right acts by repeated addition and additive inverses in . If, in addition, contains and has nonzero linear coefficient, then, for every for which is formed by Laurent substitution,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses and notation of the statement above.
Formal Laurent series have support bounded below, coefficientwise addition, finite convolution in each degree, least exponent , termwise derivative, and residue (Formal Laurent series , their order, derivative, and residue).
The formal derivative is additive, obeys the product rule, and satisfies for while (Formal differentiation is linear and satisfies product, power, quotient, chain, and coefficient-recovery laws).
A formal power series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit (A formal power series is a unit exactly when its constant coefficient is a unit).
Proof
The same finite coefficient calculation as for power series gives in . The coefficient of in could only come from differentiating the constant term, and that contribution is . Applying this to the product rule gives integration by parts.
Write , where and has nonzero constant coefficient. Then is a unit by the unit criterion, and . Since , it has no coefficient. The residue is therefore .
For the change of variables, linearity reduces the claim coefficientwise to . If , then and its residue is by step 1.1; division is legitimate because contains . If , write with ; then has residue by step 1.2. Thus the residue equals that of in every case, and locally finite summation extends the identity to .
Steps 1.1-2.1 prove the derivative, integration-by-parts, logarithmic-derivative, and substitution identities.
