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.

Proof
Joint measurability and absolute integrability. The characters are Borel on by the Cartesian form, the -Lipschitz sine and cosine, and the closure rules of [F7]; the projections , are Borel, so , and pull back to Borel functions, and , for fixed are Borel by [F7]. For , using and , , with from [F4], and for , translation invariance gives . Thus both kernels are integrable against . Fubini against the complex measure follows first for simple functions by linearity and then by approximation in this absolute-integral norm, using [F8]; this licenses the interchange below.
The clause (iii). By definition , so for every by [F2], and tends to uniformly as because is uniformly continuous [F2].
The identity (i). By definition of and step 1.1, , and Fubini [F3] rewrites this iterated integral as , because does not depend on . By the conjugation law of [F5] with , , so the last expression is . This proves (i).
The convolution identity (ii). Fix and put , so that . By the translation and reflection laws of [F5], for every , Substituting this into the definition of and applying Fubini [F3], which is licensed by step 1.1, gives The inner integral is by its defining formula, so the last expression is by [F6]; this holds for every .
Bounded continuity. By [F2], for every , so ; for the other side, by the modulus bound of [F8] and [F4], and the equality of step 2.2 therefore holds between two bounded functions. For continuity of , let be the modulus of uniform continuity of [F2]: for all , as ; hence is continuous, and by step 2.2 so is . Thus the identity of (ii) holds as everywhere-defined bounded continuous functions.
Conclusion. Step 2.1 proves (i); steps 2.2 and 3.1 prove (ii) as an identity of everywhere-defined bounded continuous functions; step 1.2 proves (iii). Countable Choice is spent only through the sigma-finite Fubini/Tonelli interfaces and the transform law of the cited suppliers, whose own hypotheses carry it.
