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 A_infinity power-decay characterisation

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)). Then the following are equivalent:

  1. w∈A∞ (The Muckenhoupt A_infinity class), that is, w∈Ap (Muckenhoupt A_p and A_1 weights) for some 1≤p<∞;
  2. there are C,δ>0 with w(E)/w(Q)≤C(∣E∣/∣Q∣)δ for every axis-parallel cube Q and every measurable E⊆Q;
  3. w satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality: there are γ>0 and C<∞ with (⟨w1+γ⟩Q)1/(1+γ)≤C⟨w⟩Q for every axis-parallel cube Q.

All constants in each condition depend only on n and on the constants appearing in the assumed condition.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Dependent Choice; a weight w; the three conditions (i), (ii), (iii) of the statement.

[F1]

(i) implies (ii): for w∈A∞ there are C,δ>0, depending only on n, a witnessing exponent p and [w]Ap, with w(E)/w(Q)≤C(∣E∣/∣Q∣)δ for every cube Q and measurable E⊆Q (A_infinity weights satisfy power decay).

[F2]

(ii) implies (i): power decay with constants C,δ forces w∈Ap for p=1+1/γ<∞ with γ>0 and the bound on [w]Ap depending only on n,C,δ, hence w∈A∞ (Power decay implies membership in some A_p).

[F3]

(i) implies (iii): for 1≤p<∞ and w∈Ap there are γ>0 and C<∞, depending only on n, p and [w]Ap, with (⟨w1+γ⟩Q)1/(1+γ)≤C⟨w⟩Q for every cube Q (Reverse Holder self-improvement for A_p weights); this is applied to a witnessing exponent of A∞.

[F4]

Hölder's inequality for the conjugate exponents 1+γ and (1+γ)/γ: ∫Ew dλ≤(∫Qw1+γ dλ)1/(1+γ)∣E∣γ/(1+γ) for measurable E⊆Q; all cube averages are those of Muckenhoupt A_p and A_1 weights and (1+γ)/γ>1 is a real exponent (Holder's inequality for integrals, including the endpoint cases, Real powers for positive bases, with the zero-base positive-exponent convention).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1F1given

(i) implies (ii). If w∈A∞, then w∈Ap for a witnessing 1≤p<∞, and [F1] supplies C,δ>0, depending only on n, p and [w]Ap, with w(E)/w(Q)≤C(∣E∣/∣Q∣)δ for every cube Q and measurable E⊆Q.

1.2F2given

(ii) implies (i). If power decay holds with constants C,δ, then [F2] gives γ>0 and p=1+1/γ<∞ with w∈Ap and [w]Ap bounded in terms of n,C,δ; by the definition of A∞ as the union of the classes Ap, 1≤p<∞, this is (i).

1.3F3given

(i) implies (iii). Let w∈Ap with witnessing exponent p, which may be taken finite by (i). By [F3] there are γ>0, C<∞, depending only on n, p and [w]Ap, with (⟨w1+γ⟩Q)1/(1+γ)≤C⟨w⟩Q for every cube Q, which is condition (iii).

1.4F4givenalgebra

(iii) implies (ii). Suppose (iii) holds with γ>0 and C. For a cube Q and measurable E⊆Q, [F4] gives ∫Ew dλ≤(∫Qw1+γ dλ)1/(1+γ)∣E∣γ/(1+γ); substituting ∫Qw1+γ dλ=∣Q∣⟨w1+γ⟩Q≤C1+γw(Q)1+γ∣Q∣−γ (the (1+γ)-th power of the reverse Hölder inequality, since ⟨w⟩Q=w(Q)/∣Q∣) yields w(E)≤Cw(Q)(∣E∣/∣Q∣)γ/(1+γ), that is, (ii) with this same C and δ=γ/(1+γ).

2.1step 1.1step 1.2step 1.3step 1.4∎

The cycles (i) ⇒ (ii) ⇒ (i) of steps 1.1 and 1.2 and (i) ⇒ (iii) ⇒ (ii) of steps 1.3 and 1.4 exhibit each of the three conditions as equivalent to the others; the constants recorded in steps 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 depend only on n and on the constants appearing in the assumed condition, as claimed.

Dependency tree · two levels

54 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.
