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 mean-zero Fourier distribution solves the neutral periodic Poisson equation
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and a neutral finite point-source configuration on the cell of Neutral point sources and Fourier data on a three-dimensional torus. Put The polynomially bounded sequence defines a periodic distribution by Fourier pairing. It is the unique mean-zero periodic distribution satisfying .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, , a finite configuration with , and a smooth periodic test function .
The proof uses Countable Choice through the smooth Fourier pairing and the lattice periodic uniqueness supplier (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
The source distribution satisfies and its Fourier coefficient is ; distributions are defined by continuous linear pairings on smooth periodic tests (Neutral point sources and Fourier data on a three-dimensional torus).
Every polynomially bounded coefficient sequence defines a continuous periodic distribution by ; smooth Fourier series converge to the test function in every smooth seminorm (Smooth torus test functions have rapidly convergent Fourier pairings).
Since , one has and the zero character is the constant function (Neutral point sources and Fourier data on a three-dimensional torus).
Proof
Define by the displayed coefficients. For , so the sequence is polynomially bounded. Under Countable Choice [A1], [F2] therefore defines a continuous periodic distribution with exactly these coefficients; its zero Fourier coefficient is zero by construction.
For a smooth periodic , use Countable Choice [A1], [F3], and the coefficient pairing of [F2] to compute The sums converge absolutely by [F2]. Reindex the full Fourier series by ; [F2] gives . The omitted zero term contributes by neutrality. Hence , proving .
If are two mean-zero periodic distribution solutions, let . Testing against each character gives for every . Thus all nonzero Fourier coefficients of vanish, and its zero coefficient vanishes because both solutions have mean zero. Under [A1], the smooth Fourier partial sums converge in every smooth seminorm by [F2]; continuity of as a distribution then makes vanish on every smooth test function. Therefore .
