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.

Koebe's distortion theorem

Statement

If f∈S and ∣z∣=r<1, then

1−r(1+r)3≤∣f′(z)∣≤1+r(1−r)3.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A function f∈S and a point z∈D with ∣z∣=r<1.

[L1]

For each a∈D, the Blaschke factor φa is a disc automorphism (Blaschke factors are automorphisms of the disc).

[L2]

If g(ζ)=ζ+Aζ2+⋯ lies in S, then ∣A∣≤2 (The second coefficient of a normalized univalent function has modulus at most two).

1.1L1givenalgebra

By rotating the source and target, it is enough to treat the case z=r∈[0,1). Define ψr(ζ):=ζ+r1+rζ,g(ζ):=f(ψr(ζ))−f(r)(1−r2)f′(r). Fact [L1] makes ψr an automorphism of D, so g∈S.

2.1L2step 1.1algebra

Differentiate twice at 0. Since ψr′(0)=1−r2 and ψr′′(0)=−2r(1−r2), one gets g′′(0)=(1−r2)f′′(r)f′(r)−2r. Because g∈S, [L2] gives ∣g′′(0)∣≤4. Therefore ∣f′′(r)f′(r)−2r1−r2∣≤41−r2.

3.1step 2.1algebra

Put H(r):=log⁡ ⁣((1−r2)f′(r)), choosing a continuous branch along [0,r] since f′ never vanishes on D for univalent f. Then step 2.1 yields ∣H′(t)∣=∣f′′(t)f′(t)−2t1−t2∣≤41−t2(0≤t<1).

4.1step 3.1algebra

Integrating step 3.1 from 0 to r and using f′(0)=1 gives ∣H(r)∣≤∫0r41−t2 dt=2log⁡1+r1−r. Exponentiating and dividing by 1−r2 yields 1−r(1+r)3≤∣f′(r)∣≤1+r(1−r)3.

5.1step 1.1step 4.1∎

The argument of steps 1.1 through 4.1 applies after rotation to every point of modulus r, so the same bounds hold for the original z.

Dependency tree · two levels

9 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
