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.
Maximum principle for plurisubharmonic functions
Statement
Let be plurisubharmonic on a domain . If attains its finite global maximum at a point of , then is constant on .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A plurisubharmonic function on a domain and a point with .
Plurisubharmonicity is tested by subharmonicity on every affine complex line (Plurisubharmonic functions).
A subharmonic function of one complex variable that attains a finite interior maximum is constant on its connected component (A plane subharmonic function with an interior maximum is constant on its component).
Proof
Choose a small Euclidean ball . Fix , and restrict to the affine complex line through and . By [L1], that restriction is subharmonic on the connected line-domain component containing the segment from to , and the global bound makes its value at a finite maximum. Hence [L2] makes it constant on that component, so . Thus is constant on .
Put . It is nonempty. Every point of is another point where the finite global maximum is attained, so the argument of step 1.1 makes open. Since everywhere and upper semicontinuity makes closed, is closed. Connectedness of gives , so is constant.

Dependency tree · two levels
4 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.
