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.

Natural density implies Dirichlet density

Statement

If A⊆N≥1 has natural density δ, then A has Dirichlet density δ.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A subset A⊆N≥1 with counting function A(x) and natural density δ.

[L1]

Natural density means A(x)=δx+o(x) (Natural and Dirichlet density).

[L2]

If the summatory function of coefficients is O(xθ), Abel summation gives a Dirichlet-series integral formula (Dirichlet series from arithmetic functions admit the Abel-summation integral formula).

Proof

1.1L1L2givenalgebra

Apply [L2] to the coefficients an=1A(n). Then for s>1 one has ∑n∈An−s=s∫1∞A(x)x−s−1 dx. Now write A(x)=δx+E(x) with E(x)=o(x) by [L1].

2.1step 1.1algebra

Substituting into step 1.1 gives ∑n∈An−s=δs∫1∞x−s dx+s∫1∞E(x)x−s−1 dx=δs/(s−1)+s∫1∞E(x)x−s−1 dx. It therefore suffices to show that (s−1)∫1∞E(x)x−s−1 dx→0 as s↓1.

3.1step 2.1L1algebra∎

Fix ε>0. Because E(x)=o(x), choose X≥1 so that ∣E(x)∣≤εx for every x≥X. For 1<s≤2, the quantity ∣(s−1)s∫1∞E(x)x−s−1 dx∣ is at most (s−1)s∫1X∣E(x)∣x−s−1 dx+εs(s−1)∫X∞x−s dx. The first term tends to 0 because the integral over [1,X] is bounded, and the second term is at most 2εX1−s≤2ε. Since ε is arbitrary, the whole expression tends to 0. Hence (s−1)∑n∈An−s→δ, which is exactly the Dirichlet-density statement from Natural and Dirichlet density.

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.
