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.
Product likelihood tilts have the product density
Statement
Under the setup of Likelihood-tilted measures at a KL projection and Likelihood tilts are sigma-finite measures, for each and integer , the sigma-finite product measure exists and has density relative to . Ratios are zero where , as in the likelihood-tilt definition.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A probability measure , its product measure , the likelihood tilt , and the finite product sigma-algebra.
Likelihood-tilted measures at a KL projection: with nonnegative and finite.
Likelihood tilts are sigma-finite measures: is a sigma-finite measure.
Probability measures and probability spaces: is finite, hence sigma-finite.
For sigma-finite factors, the product measure exists, has the rectangle formula, is sigma-finite, and is unique: repeated application gives finite products of sigma-finite measures; these have the rectangle formula and are unique among measures with that formula.
Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product: nonnegative product-measurable functions may be integrated by repeated nonnegative integration, and the iterated integrals equal the product integral.
The measure with density relative to : a nonnegative measurable density relative to a measure defines a measure by integration.
Coordinate maps and permutations are measurable on finite products: coordinate maps on a finite product are measurable.
Arithmetic and lattice operations preserve measurability whenever they are defined: finite products of nonnegative measurable functions are measurable.
Proof
Given: The hypotheses and conventions in the Statement.
Fix and . By [F2] and [F3], the product measures and exist and are sigma-finite. For , every coordinate map is measurable by [F7], so is nonnegative and measurable.
Define on the product sigma-algebra. By [F6], is a measure. For every measurable rectangle , repeated Tonelli integration [F5] gives where the final equality is [F4]'s rectangle formula.
The measures and agree on the generating pi-system of measurable rectangles by step 2.1. The product-measure theorem [F4] gives uniqueness for this rectangle formula, so on the whole product sigma-algebra. By the definition of , its density is , as claimed.
