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.
A logarithmic connection determines meridian eigenvalues from its residue
Statement
Let be a finite-dimensional complex vector space, let be a root of unity with the positive arc angle (taking when ), and let be a holomorphic family of endomorphisms on a disk about with . Consider the logarithmic connection on the punctured disk. Suppose the endpoint identification is a fixed automorphism of the model fiber and satisfies At this implies . Parallel transport from to along the positive arc, followed by this endpoint identification , has characteristic polynomial equal to that of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , the holomorphic family , its residue , and the compatible endpoint identification .
A horizontal section for along satisfies the finite-dimensional ODE .
The coefficient identity expresses equivariance under with the stated endpoint identification from the endpoint fiber to the initial fiber.
Linear matrix ODEs have unique global solutions on a fixed interval gives existence and uniqueness of transport along compact paths, interpreting complex matrices as real linear operators. Gronwall's integral inequality with variable and constant coefficients gives the uniform convergence estimate below.
Proof
Given: [F1]–[F3].
For , let be parallel transport along the arc , , and put , an endomorphism of the initial fiber. The connection form is flat on the punctured disk: holomorphicity gives , and because both factors are multiples of . Hence parallel transport around the boundary of an annular sector is the identity. If are two small radii, radial parallel transport identifies the initial fibers and the endpoint fibers; the coefficient identity in [F2] makes the resulting square commute with the endpoint identifications. Thus the two are conjugate and have the same characteristic polynomial.
Since uniformly for as , subtract the integral equations for and from [F1]. The difference norm is bounded by ; Grönwall's inequality gives . Therefore .
The characteristic polynomial is a polynomial in matrix entries, hence continuous. Step 1.1 makes it constant for , so its common value equals the characteristic polynomial of the limit in step 1.2, namely that of .
