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.
Real total derivatives transport through the complex coordinate isometry
Statement
Let be open in , let , and let . Define . The set is open by The complex coordinate isometry transports topology and affine segments. A map is real-linear when it preserves addition and multiplication by embedded real scalars. Then is totally differentiable at exactly when there is a real-linear such that, with ,
as , , and . In that case
The map need not be complex-linear; this is a real total-derivative statement.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The open set , the point , the map , and the coordinate map .
The complex coordinate isometry transports topology and affine segments and The complex coordinate map preserves real scalar multiplication: is a bijective real-linear isometry, and is open.
A linear map in Euclidean coordinates: A linear map between Euclidean coordinate spaces preserves real linear combinations.
The total (Fréchet) derivative as the linear first-order approximation with remainder: Total differentiability is a linear first-order approximation whose Euclidean remainder divided by the input norm tends to zero.
Proof
The inverse is real-linear: for arbitrary , choose with and , possible by [F1]. Additivity of gives ; for every , its real homogeneity gives .
The correspondence sends each real-linear to a real-linear map by [F1], [F2], and step 1.1. Conversely, for each real-linear , the map is real-linear by the same facts, and the two constructions are inverse because and are identity maps. Thus this is a bijection between the real-linear maps on the two coordinate spaces.
For corresponding from step 2.1, put . Additivity gives . If and , then the definition of and give . The isometry [F1] therefore gives for ; the bijective isometry also sends exactly to and sends the condition exactly to . Hence the two remainder limits are equivalent.
By [F3], total differentiability of at means that some real-linear has Euclidean remainder ratio tending to zero. Steps 2.1 and 3.1 identify such maps bijectively with real-linear and identify their remainder ratios, so this condition is equivalent to existence of the stated with the complex remainder ratio tending to zero. For each corresponding pair, the Euclidean derivative is .
