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.
Conformal invariance of harmonic measure
Statement
Assume Dependent Choice. Let be bounded regular plane domains, in the sense of Harmonic measure on a bounded regular plane domain, and let be a biholomorphism (Biholomorphic maps between complex domains) that extends to a homeomorphism (Homeomorphism, open map, closed map, embedding, and what it means for a property to be topological). Then for every the pushforward boundary measure satisfies on all Borel subsets of . No pushforward of a boundary measure is asserted without the closure homeomorphism: the transport is proved by equality of continuous harmonic extensions and not by a boundary correspondence alone.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Bounded plane domains all of whose boundary points are regular (A complex domain is a nonempty connected open subset of , Harmonic measure on a bounded regular plane domain), a biholomorphism , and a homeomorphism extending ; also Dependent Choice (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain).
Under Dependent Choice the harmonic measures and exist and are the unique Radon Borel probability measures on the compact boundaries representing their Perron envelopes (Existence and uniqueness of harmonic measure on a bounded regular plane domain): for continuous data on and on , and .
Regularity of every boundary point means as inside , for every and every continuous ; hence is continuous on when set equal to on , and analogously for . Two continuous functions on , harmonic on , with equal boundary values coincide (Harmonic measure on a bounded regular plane domain, The bounded plane Dirichlet problem has at most one continuous harmonic solution).
Composition with a holomorphic map preserves harmonicity (Plane harmonicity is preserved by holomorphic and antiholomorphic changes of coordinate), and a homeomorphism between the closures restricting to a bijection carries onto (Homeomorphism, open map, closed map, embedding, and what it means for a property to be topological, Continuity of a map of topological spaces at a point and globally).
Two finite regular Borel measures on a compact space that agree on all continuous functions coincide (Positive C_0(X) functionals have finite regular representing measures, Radon measure on an LCH space).
Proof
The map is a bijection of the compact sets and restricting to the bijection ; therefore it maps onto , and it is a homeomorphism between the two boundaries. Consequently, for continuous the pullback is continuous on , and the pushforward is well defined on Borel subsets of .
For continuous on and on , the function is harmonic on by [F3], since is harmonic on , and it extends continuously to with boundary values , because extends continuously to with values by [F2] and maps onto by step 1.1.
The pushforward of step 1.1 represents the same value: by the defining property of in [F1] and the change of variables defining the pushforward,
The continuous harmonic extensions and of step 2.1 have the same boundary values on , so they coincide on by [F2]; at this is
Combining steps 3.1 and 2.2 with the defining property of in [F1] gives, for every continuous , Both sides are finite regular Borel measures on the compact boundary , so by [F4] they coincide as measures, and in particular on every Borel subset of .
Therefore on all Borel boundary sets. Dependent Choice was used only through the existence and uniqueness theorem [F1]; the transport itself is the identification of two continuous harmonic extensions with common boundary data, and no boundary behaviour of beyond the given closure homeomorphism was assumed.
