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.

Power decay implies membership in some A_p

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Dependent Choice (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an N-indexed chain). Let w be a weight on Rn (Weights, their associated measures, and the spaces L^p(w)) and suppose there are constants C,δ>0 with w(E)w(Q)≤C(∣E∣∣Q∣)δ for every axis-parallel cube Q and every measurable E⊆Q. Then w∈Ap (Muckenhoupt A_p and A_1 weights) for p=1+1/γ<∞, where γ>0 and the resulting bound on [w]Ap depend only on n,C,δ; consequently w∈A∞ (The Muckenhoupt A_infinity class).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Dependent Choice, a weight w, constants C,δ>0 with the displayed power decay, and a cube Q.

[F1]

w dλ is a locally finite measure with 0<w(Q)<∞ for every cube Q; subsets have smaller measure, and w(∅)=0 (Weights, their associated measures, and the spaces L^p(w)).

[F2]

Power decay implies that w dλ is doubling, with a doubling constant depending only on n,C,δ (Power decay implies doubling).

[F3]

Reverse Hölder from a distribution estimate: if μ is a doubling measure of the form v dλ and h≥0 is measurable with hv∈Lloc1(λ) and with μ(S)≤αμ(Q)⇒∫Sh dμ≤β∫Qh dμ for some 0<α,β<1 and every cube Q and measurable S⊆Q, then there are q>1 and c<∞, depending only on n, the doubling constant of μ, α and β, with (μ(Q)−1∫Qhq dμ)1/q≤c μ(Q)−1∫Qh dμ for every cube Q (Reverse Holder from a distribution estimate for a doubling weight, The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an N-indexed chain).

[F4]

For real exponents, 1−q=−(q−1) and p=q/(q−1)=1+1/(q−1) satisfies p−1=1/(q−1) and p′=q (Real powers for positive bases, with the zero-base positive-exponent convention).

The density implication. Put β:=1−min⁡{12,(2C)−1/δ}∈(0,1) and let S⊆Q be measurable with w(S)≤12w(Q). Then ∣S∣≤β∣Q∣: otherwise ∣Q∖S∣<(1−β)∣Q∣≤(2C)−1/δ∣Q∣, so power decay applied to the complement gives w(Q∖S)<12w(Q), whence w(S)>12w(Q), a contradiction. Equivalently, writing μ:=w dλ and h:=w−1, the hypothesis of [F3] holds with α=12 and this β: μ(S)≤αμ(Q) implies ∫Sh dμ=∣S∣≤β∣Q∣=β∫Qh dμ.

Applying the reverse Hölder lemma. The measure μ=w dλ is doubling by [F2], and h=w−1≥0 has ∫Qh dμ=∣Q∣<∞ for every cube, so hw∈Lloc1(λ); step 1.1 supplies the density implication with α=12 and β<1. By [F3] there are q>1 and c<∞, depending only on n, the doubling constant of w, and hence only on n,C,δ, such that, for every cube Q, (w(Q)−1∫Qw1−q dλ)1/q≤c ∣Q∣/w(Q), since hq dμ=w−q⋅w dλ=w1−q dλ and ∫Qh dμ=∣Q∣.

From the reverse Hölder estimate to Ap. Put γ:=q−1>0 and p:=q/(q−1)=1+1/γ, so that p−1=1/γ and w−1/(p−1)=w−γ; write I:=w(Q)−1∫Qw−γ dλ=⟨w−γ⟩Q/⟨w⟩Q. Step 2.1 reads I1/q≤c⟨w⟩Q−1, hence I1/γ≤(c⟨w⟩Q−1)q/γ=cp⟨w⟩Q−p by [F4], since q/γ=q/(q−1)=p. Multiplying by ⟨w⟩Qp and using ⟨w⟩QpI1/γ=⟨w⟩Q1+1/γ(⟨w−γ⟩Q/⟨w⟩Q)1/γ=⟨w⟩Q⟨w−γ⟩Q1/γ gives ⟨w⟩Q⟨w−1/(p−1)⟩Qp−1=⟨w⟩Q⟨w−γ⟩Q1/γ≤cp for every cube Q. Therefore [w]Ap≤cp<∞, that is, w∈Ap, and w∈A∞ by the definition of the latter as the union of the finite-exponent classes.
