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.

Locally uniform limits of holomorphic functions are holomorphic, with locally uniform convergence of all derivatives

Statement

Let m≥1, let U⊆Cm be open, let each fn:U→C be holomorphic, and suppose fn→f locally uniformly on U: every point of U has a neighbourhood on which the convergence is uniform. Then f is holomorphic on U, and for every multi-index α

∂zαfn⟶∂zαf

locally uniformly on U.

Facts & Assumptions

[L1]

A continuous separately holomorphic function on an open subset of Cm is holomorphic (Osgood's lemma: continuous and separately holomorphic implies holomorphic).

[L2]

For g holomorphic on Δρ(a) and a polyradius r with rk<ρk, ∣∂zαg(a)∣≤α! sup⁡Γr(a)∣g∣∏k<mrk−αk (Cauchy estimates for mixed derivatives on a polydisc).

[L3]

If holomorphic functions of one variable converge locally uniformly on an open subset of C, the limit is holomorphic (Locally uniform limits of holomorphic functions are holomorphic and their derivatives converge locally uniformly).

[L4]

A uniform limit of continuous complex-valued functions on a metric space is continuous (A uniform limit of continuous complex-valued functions is continuous).

[L5]

Separate holomorphy is holomorphy of each slice on its open slice domain (Separately holomorphic functions).

[L6]

A holomorphic function of several variables is continuous and separately holomorphic (A holomorphic function of several variables is continuous and separately holomorphic); every iterated complex partial derivative of a holomorphic function is holomorphic (Holomorphic functions of several variables are smooth and their complex derivatives are holomorphic); differences of holomorphic functions are holomorphic (Sums, products and nonvanishing quotients of holomorphic functions are holomorphic).

[L7]

Δr(a), Δ‾r(a) and Γr(a) are defined coordinatewise (Balls, polydiscs and the distinguished boundary in Cm); multi-index notation is that of Ck maps and multi-index derivative notation in Euclidean space.

Proof

technique · direct
1.1givenL4L6

Each fn is continuous by [L6], and locally uniform convergence makes f continuous at every point by [L4] applied on a neighbourhood where the convergence is uniform.

1.2givenL3L5L6L8

Fix a∈U and k<m, and let V be the kth slice domain of U through a, an open subset of C by [L5]. The slices of the fn are holomorphic on V by [L6], and they converge to the slice of f locally uniformly on V, since a neighbourhood in U of a point of the slice meets the slice in a neighbourhood there. So [L3] makes the slice of f holomorphic on V, and f is separately holomorphic by [L5].

2.1step 1.1step 1.2L1

By steps 1.1 and 1.2 the limit f is continuous and separately holomorphic on U, so [L1] makes it holomorphic.

3.1step 2.1L7L8L9

Fix a∈U and a multi-index α. By [L8] choose ε>0 with the ball B(a,ε)⊆U and put ρk=ε/(2m), so Δρ(a)⊆U by [L7] and [L9], and put rk=ρk/2. Shrinking ε if necessary, the convergence fn→f is uniform on Δ‾ρ(a).

4.1step 3.1L2L6L7L9

Fix b∈Δr(a) and put σk:=ρk−∣bk−ak∣ for each k<m. Then σk>rk because ∣bk−ak∣<rk=ρk/2, and if ∣ζk−bk∣<σk then ∣ζk−ak∣≤∣ζk−bk∣+∣bk−ak∣<ρk, so Δσ(b)⊆Δρ(a)⊆U by [L7] and [L9]. Also Γr(b)⊆Δ‾ρ(a) because ∣bk−ak∣<rk and rk+rk=ρk. The difference fn−f is holomorphic on U by [L6] and step 2.1, so [L2] applied on Δσ(b) with inner polyradius r gives ∣∂zαfn(b)−∂zαf(b)∣≤α! (sup⁡Δ‾ρ(a)∣fn−f∣)∏k<mrk−αk.

5.1step 3.1step 4.1L6L7∎

The right-hand side of step 4.1 does not depend on b and tends to 0 by the uniform convergence of step 3.1, so ∂zαfn→∂zαf uniformly on the neighbourhood Δr(a) of a. Since a∈U and α were arbitrary, the convergence is locally uniform for every multi-index.
