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.

Cartan-Thullen boundary-radius theorem

Statement

Let Ω⊆Cm be a domain of holomorphy and let K⋐Ω be compact. Then

δΩ(K^Ω)=δΩ(K).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A compact set K⋐Ω, where Ω is a domain of holomorphy.

[L1]

A domain of holomorphy is one for which no fixed larger overlap admits extensions of every holomorphic function (Holomorphic extension and domains of holomorphy in several variables).

[L2]

For 0<r<δΩ(K), the derivatives of every holomorphic function on Ω satisfy uniform Cauchy bounds on K^Ω (Cauchy estimates propagate from a compact set to its hull).

[L3]

A holomorphic function has a power-series expansion on a polydisc, and a convergent several-variable power series defines a holomorphic function on its polydisc of convergence (A continuous separately holomorphic function is the sum of an absolutely convergent power series with Cauchy-integral coefficients on every smaller polydisc, An absolutely convergent multi-indexed power series is holomorphic and differentiates termwise).

[L4]

The hull contains the original compact set (Holomorphic hulls and holomorphic convexity).

1.1L4given

By [L4], one has K⊆K^Ω, so δΩ(K^Ω)≤δΩ(K). It remains to prove the reverse inequality.

1.2L2L3given

Fix w∈K^Ω and a number s with 0<s<δΩ(K). For every holomorphic f on Ω, [L2] gives uniform bounds on all derivatives of f at w of the form ∣∂αf(w)∣≤Cs α! s−(α1+⋯+αm) for a constant Cs depending on f, K, and s but not on α. By [L3], the Taylor series of f at w therefore converges on the full polydisc Δs(w) and defines a holomorphic function there that agrees with f on some smaller polydisc already contained in Ω.

2.1L1step 1.1step 1.2∎

If Δs(w) were not contained in Ω, then the smaller overlap from step 1.2 and the larger domain Δs(w) would extend every holomorphic function on Ω, contradicting [L1]. Hence Δs(w)⊆Ω, so δΩ(w)≥s. Since this holds for every w∈K^Ω and every s<δΩ(K), one gets δΩ(K^Ω)≥δΩ(K). Together with step 1.1, this proves the equality.
