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.

If f,g∈L1(Rn), then f∗g exists almost everywhere, belongs to L1, and ∥f∗g∥1≤∥f∥1∥g∥1

Statement

Assume countable choice ACω. If f,g∈L1(Rn), then f∗g exists for almost every x∈Rn, belongs to L1(Rn), and satisfies

∥f∗g∥1≤∥f∥1∥g∥1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable choice and functions f,g∈L1(Rn).

[L0]

Under countable choice, completed-Lebesgue measurable functions have Borel representatives almost everywhere (L(Rn) is exactly the completion of the restriction of λn to the Borel sets, A function measurable for a completion is almost everywhere equal to one measurable for the original sigma-algebra, The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Apply this to real and imaginary parts for complex functions.

[L3]

The integral triangle inequality is available (The modulus of an integral is bounded by the integral of the modulus).

[L4]

Lebesgue measure is translation invariant, and nonnegative integrals are invariant under measure-preserving maps (Lebesgue outer measure, Lebesgue measurability and Lebesgue measure are unchanged by translation, Integral invariance under measure-preserving maps).

Proof

1.1L1L2L4givenalgebra

Use the stated countable choice and [L0] to choose Borel representatives f~,g~ of f,g and define [L0, L1, L2, L4, given, choose, algebra] H(x,y):=∣f~(x−y)∣ ∣g~(y)∣. By [L1], H is measurable on R2n. For each y, ∫RnH(x,y) dx=∣g~(y)∣∫Rn∣f~(x−y)∣ dx=∥f~∥1 ∣g~(y)∣ by [L4].

2.1L2step 1.1algebra

Integrating the identity from step 1.1 in y and applying [L2] gives [L2, step 1.1, algebra] ∬R2nH(x,y) dx dy=∥f~∥1∥g~∥1<∞. Hence for almost every x, the section y↦f~(x−y)g~(y) is absolutely integrable, so (f∗g)(x) is defined there.

3.1L1L2L3step 2.1algebra∎

For those x, [L1, L2, L3, step 2.1, algebra] ∣(f∗g)(x)∣≤∫∣f~(x−y)g~(y)∣ dy by [L3]. Another application of [L2] then yields ∥f∗g∥1≤∬∣f~(x−y)∣ ∣g~(y)∣ dy dx=∥f∥1∥g∥1. By [L1], the resulting L1 class is independent of the chosen Borel representatives.

53 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.
