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.
, and the complex exponential extends the real exponential
Statement
For all , . For real , the complex value equals the published real exponential . The conventions and prerequisite facts used below are recorded in The complex exponential by its power series, The complex exponential series converges absolutely for every complex argument, The Cauchy product of two absolutely convergent complex series converges absolutely to the product of their sums, The real exponential function and the number by a power series, The binomial theorem over the complex field, for ; hence , the quotient is a natural number, and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Complex and real .
The Cauchy product of two absolutely convergent complex series converges absolutely to the product of their sums says that the product has th coefficient .
The binomial theorem over the complex field gives , where is its canonical-natural map.
The complex exponential series converges absolutely for every complex argument states that converges absolutely for every complex .
Proof
By [L4], the two exponential series converge absolutely, so [L1] makes their product the Cauchy product.
Its degree- coefficient is . By [L2], after applying the canonical-natural map into , each summand is , and [L3] turns their sum into .
The resulting series is the defining series of . When , every term is the corresponding real term in the definition of , so the two values agree.
Depends on
- The complex exponential by its power series
- The complex exponential series converges absolutely for every complex argument
- The Cauchy product of two absolutely convergent complex series converges absolutely to the product of their sums
- The real exponential function and the number $e$ by a power series
- The binomial theorem over the complex field
- $\binom{n}{k}\,k!\,(n-k)! = n!$ for $k \le n$; hence $\binom{n}{k}\,k! = n^{\underline{k}}$, the quotient $n!/(k!(n-k)!)$ is a natural number, and $\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}$
