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.
The trigonometric characters are orthonormal in of the torus
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). The family of characters of Fourier coefficients and trigonometric polynomials on the torus is orthonormal in the complex Hilbert space ( with the integral pairing is a Hilbert space, Orthonormal families, complete orthonormal systems and Hilbert bases):
Moreover the coefficient pairing of a trigonometric polynomial computes its coefficients: if and , then , and for .
Facts & Assumptions
and ; in particular the function on equals , and it has period (Fourier coefficients and trigonometric polynomials on the torus, , , and ).
For a continuous -periodic the torus integral equals the Riemann integral over : for , because the torus integral is represented on and a bounded Riemann integrable function on is Lebesgue measurable with the same integral, the endpoint being a null set (The one-dimensional torus and its normalized Haar integral, A bounded Riemann integrable function on a closed bounded interval is Lebesgue measurable and has the same integral).
A continuous real function on a closed interval is Riemann integrable, and for differentiable with integrable, ; the derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, and the chain rule computes the derivatives of and (A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion, The second fundamental theorem: if is differentiable on with and is integrable, then , The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, The chain rule, in one line from Carathéodory: if is differentiable at and is differentiable at , then is differentiable at with ).
and for every integer : the zero-set theorem gives the sine values, while the shift formula and give the cosine values by integer induction (The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi, Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi).
The pairing on complex is linear in the first variable and conjugate-linear in the second, with , and the Fourier coefficient is ( with the integral pairing is a Hilbert space, Fourier coefficients and trigonometric polynomials on the torus).
Proof
Given: Countable Choice and characters on .
For put ; then , and the corresponding -periodic function on is .
The torus integral of is the Riemann integral of over : for the integrand is and the integral is , while for the real and imaginary parts have the primitives and , whose values at and agree because and , so each of the two definite integrals vanishes. Hence the integral is when and when .
Therefore for and for , so the characters are orthonormal.
For the coefficient claim, let and fix ; by linearity of the pairing and orthonormality, equals if and otherwise.
Steps 3.1 and 4.1 prove orthonormality of the characters and the coefficient formula for trigonometric polynomials.
