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 complex exponential is entire, and
for every .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A complex number and the published complex exponential.
For real , (, , and ).
The real exponential is and (The exponential function is smooth and ).
The real derivatives are and (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine).
A real function differentiable at a point is continuous there (A function differentiable at is continuous at ).
Finite sums and products of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous (Sums, products, absolute values, finite maxima and minima, and quotients of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous where defined).
Continuous first partial derivatives satisfying the Cauchy–Riemann equations give complex differentiability, and holomorphy when this holds at every point (Continuous first partial derivatives and the Cauchy–Riemann equations imply complex differentiability pointwise, and holomorphy when they hold throughout an open set). Where is complex differentiable, (Complex differentiability is equivalent to real total differentiability together with a complex-linear derivative, with , or with the Cauchy–Riemann equations).
Proof
By [F1], the real and imaginary components are and .
By [L1] and [L2],
The one-variable factors in step 2.1 are continuous by [L1]–[L3]; their pullbacks along the coordinate projections are continuous, and [L4] makes all four displayed partials continuous on .
Step 2.1 gives and everywhere. By [L5], the complex exponential is entire and its derivative is .
