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.

Nonzero finite dimensional complex invariant subspaces have unitary eigenvectors

Statement

Every nonzero finite-dimensional complex subspace E invariant under a Koopman isometry U contains a nonzero vector f with Uf=λf and λ=1. If EH0, this eigenfunction is nonconstant. The assertion for a supplied finite-dimensional E does not require AC; a preceding construction of E may carry that assumption.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Eigenfunctions are nonzero L2 classes, and H0 is the zero-mean subspace of a probability space Eigenfunction for a probability system.

[F2]

An endomorphism of a nonzero finite-dimensional space over an algebraically closed field has an eigenvalue Every endomorphism of a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field has an eigenvalue.

Proof

Given: A nonzero finite-dimensional invariant complex subspace E as stated.

1.1

Invariance makes UE:EE a complex-linear endomorphism. The field C satisfies the algebraic-closedness hypothesis of F2 by F3. Since dimE1, F2 yields λC and a nonzero fE with Uf=λf. This uses a single finite-dimensional eigenvalue assertion; it selects no infinite family of eigenvectors.

2.1

Isometry gives f=Uf=λf. Since f0, positivity permits division by f, giving λ=1. If also EH0 and f=c1, then 0=f=c because the total measure is one. This would give f=0, impossible. Thus in that case f is nonconstant. The case dimE=1 is included; E={0} is excluded before F2 is applied.

Dependency tree · two levels

22 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
