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.

Fundamental parallelotopes of a lattice tile Euclidean space with covolume volume

Statement

Assume Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Let A be an invertible real n×n matrix, Λ=AZn a full-rank lattice, and F:=A((0,1]n)={∑i=1ntiai:0<ti≤1}, where a1,…,an are the columns of A, the fundamental parallelotope of Λ. Then every x∈Rn has a unique representation x=λ+p with λ∈Λ and p∈F; consequently the translates F+λ (λ∈Λ) are pairwise disjoint and cover Rn. Moreover F is Lebesgue measurable and λn(F)=∣det⁡A∣=covol⁡(Λ). Countable Choice is inherited by the box-measure and linear change-of-variables suppliers in the volume computation; the unique representation is choice-free.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice and an invertible real n×n matrix A with columns a1,…,an and the full-rank lattice Λ=AZn of Full-rank lattices, covolume, and the dual lattice, whose covolume is covol⁡(Λ)=∣det⁡A∣.

[F1]

The lattice notation is that of Full-rank lattices, covolume, and the dual lattice: Λ=AZn={Ak:k∈Zn}, and A is invertible (A finite square real matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is nonzero).

[F2]

For every real t there is exactly one integer m with m≤t<m+1, written ⌊t⌋; consequently every real t has a unique decomposition t=m+s with m∈Z and s∈(0,1], namely m=⌊t⌋ and s=t−⌊t⌋ when t>⌊t⌋, and m=⌊t⌋−1, s=1 when t=⌊t⌋ (Integer part: for every real x there is exactly one integer m with m≤x<m+1).

[F4]

If T:Rn→Rn is linear with matrix A and det⁡A≠0, then T[E] is Lebesgue measurable for every Lebesgue measurable E and λn(T[E])=∣det⁡A∣λn(E) (A linear map T of Rn sends Lebesgue measurable sets to Lebesgue measurable sets, with λn(T[E])=∣det⁡T∣ λn(E) when T is invertible and T[E] Lebesgue null when it is not); this volume supplier assumes Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

[F5]

Products Ak of a matrix with a column vector have the entries (Ak)i=∑j=1nAijkj, so A((0,1]n)={∑itiai:0<ti≤1} (Rectangular matrix multiplication and the identity matrix In, including zero-sized shapes).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1F1F2F5givenalgebra

Write an arbitrary x∈Rn as x=Ay with y=A−1x, possible and unique because A is invertible [F1]. By [F2] each coordinate yi has a unique decomposition yi=mi+si with mi∈Z and si∈(0,1]: if mi+si=mi′+si′ then mi−mi′=si′−si∈(−1,1)∩Z={0}. With m=(mi) and s=(si) this gives x=Am+As, where Am∈Λ and As∈F by [F5].

2.1step 1.1F1F5algebra

The representation of step 1.1 is unique: if Am+As=Am′+As′ with m,m′∈Zn and s,s′∈(0,1]n, then injectivity of A gives m+s=m′+s′ and [F2] gives m=m′, s=s′ coordinatewise. Hence every x lies in exactly one translate F+λ, λ∈Λ: the translates are pairwise disjoint and cover Rn.

3.1step 2.1F1F3F4F5given∎

Volume: F=A((0,1]n) by [F5], the box (0,1]n is Lebesgue measurable of measure one [F3], and A is an invertible linear map; by the change-of-variables theorem for linear maps [F4] the set F is Lebesgue measurable with λn(F)=∣det⁡A∣ λn((0,1]n)=∣det⁡A∣=covol⁡(Λ) [F1]. Only the volume computation uses Countable Choice, inherited from both [F3] and [F4]; the decomposition and uniqueness of steps 1.1 and 2.1 are choice-free.
