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.

Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice and Countable Choice.
Let be a three-dimensional transversally anisotropic product domain with compact connected simple surface transversal . For every choose two nontangential unit-speed geodesic segments meeting transversely at and nowhere else. For every and every , there are four exact harmonic solutions , with no prescribed boundary values, such that where and .

Facts & Assumptions
The Axiom of Choice is explicitly assumed in the Statement.
The Axiom of Countable Choice () is explicitly assumed in the Statement.
Given: the simple surface product, an interior transversal point, two crossing nontangential geodesics, a longitudinal frequency , and .
Simple surface and geodesic X-ray transform: strict convexity and unique geodesic segments define the simple surface convention.
External input: Lassas--Liimatainen--Lin--Salo, Proposition 5.1, arXiv:1903.12562v1, PDF p. 14: on a compact oriented transversally anisotropic manifold of dimension at least three, if satisfies for all smooth harmonic , with , then . We import this density statement; its proof is not reconstructed here.
The literal quantifiers in the statement permit the four witnesses to depend on . They impose no uniformity in , no nonzero-solution requirement, and no quantitative remainder or beam-profile estimate. The proof below uses density to obtain smooth witnesses constant in ; it does not assert a uniform Gaussian-beam family.
External geometric input: Paternain--Salo--Uhlmann, Geometric inverse problems, with emphasis on two dimensions, Section 3.8, Theorem 3.8.2 and Propositions 3.8.4--3.8.5 (author-hosted full text). The local simple-surface conditions in [F1] agree with their Definition 3.8.1. Under these hypotheses Theorem 3.8.2 gives the equivalent simple-manifold formulations, Proposition 3.8.4 gives a unique minimizing geodesic between any two points, and Proposition 3.8.5 gives a diffeomorphism with a closed ball. Thus is diffeomorphic to a disk and is orientable; the isometric embedding of in gives the product orientation. These consequences verify the orientation hypothesis of [F3] and the uniqueness use in step 1.1.
Proof
Given: the data in the statement.
Since is a surface, choose two unit directions with . Nontrapping extends each geodesic through in both directions to a boundary-to-boundary segment, and strict convexity makes its boundary intersections nontangential. Their distinct tangent lines make the segments transverse at . If they met again at a distinct point , the two different subsegments from to would violate the unique-geodesic conclusion of [F5]. Thus the only intersection is .
Put , which is finite because is compact and is bounded. If , four constant harmonic functions give the assertion. Otherwise, since [F5] verifies the orientation hypothesis of [F3], contraposition of [F3] gives smooth harmonic functions with . For every set They are exact harmonic smooth functions, hence belong to , with no prescribed boundary values. Their product integral equals for every , so the required limit holds. This includes . These are explicitly -dependent, constant-parameter witnesses; the statement asserts no uniformity in or quantitative remainder estimate.
