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 doubling

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

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 such that w(E)w(Q)≤C(∣E∣∣Q∣)δ for every axis-parallel cube Q and every measurable E⊆Q. Then the measure w dλ is doubling, with a constant depending only on n, C and δ: there is C′=C′(n,C,δ)<∞ with w(B(x,2r))≤C′w(B(x,r)) for all x∈Rn and r>0.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice; A weight w and constants C,δ>0 with the displayed power decay property.

[F1]

w>0 and w<∞ Lebesgue-a.e., w∈Lloc1, and E↦w(E)=∫Ew dλ is a locally finite measure with the w-null sets equal to the Lebesgue-null sets (Weights, their associated measures, and the spaces L^p(w)).

[F2]

Q(x,ρ)=∏i(xi−ρ,xi+ρ) has side 2ρ and Lebesgue measure (2ρ)n; if E⊆F are measurable then w(E)≤w(F), and for nested cubes ∣Q(x,ρ′)∣=ρ′nρ−n∣Q(x,ρ)∣ (Axis-parallel cubes, their averages, and cube maximal functions, For a nonzero real c, dilation by c multiplies Lebesgue outer measure by ∣c∣n, and reflection in the origin preserves it).

[F3]

A ball B(x,2r) is contained in the cube Q(x,4r), and a cube Q(x,ρ) is contained in B(x,nρ) (Ball and cube maximal functions are pointwise comparable).

1.1F1F2givenalgebra

Choose β∈(0,1) with Cβδ≤12, for instance β:=min⁡{12,(2C)−1/δ}, and put α:=1−Cβδ≥12. If E⊆Q is measurable with ∣E∣≥(1−β)∣Q∣, then ∣Q∖E∣≤β∣Q∣, so the power decay applied to Q∖E gives w(Q∖E)≤Cβδw(Q) and hence w(E)=w(Q)−w(Q∖E)≥αw(Q)>0. Both β and α depend only on C and δ.

2.1F2step 1.1givenalgebra

Fix x∈Rn and r>0, let l1:=4r and lj+1:=(1−β)1/nlj, and let k≥1 be the least integer with lk≤r/n; then k depends only on n and β, hence only on n,C,δ. By [F2] one has ∣Q(x,lj+1)∣=(1−β)∣Q(x,lj)∣, so the shell Q(x,lj)∖Q(x,lj+1) has measure β∣Q(x,lj)∣ and step 1.1 applied to E=Q(x,lj+1) (whose complement in Q(x,lj) has measure β∣Q(x,lj)∣) yields w(Q(x,lj+1))≥αw(Q(x,lj)) for every j<k. Iterating, w(Q(x,4r))≤α−(k−1)w(Q(x,lk)).

3.1F1F3step 2.1algebra∎

Since lk≤r/n, the cube Q(x,lk) is contained in B(x,r) by [F3], so [F1] gives w(Q(x,lk))≤w(B(x,r)); and B(x,2r)⊆Q(x,4r) by [F3], so w(B(x,2r))≤w(Q(x,4r))≤α−(k−1)w(B(x,r)). Thus w dλ is doubling with C′=α−(k−1), a constant depending only on n, C and δ; no property of x or r entered beyond the display, and the degenerate case r>0 is the only case needed since doubling is asserted for positive radii.

46 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.
