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.
The Plancherel theorem for locally compact abelian groups
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice) and Dependent Choice (The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain). Let be a locally compact Hausdorff abelian group with Haar measure and dual carrying the compatible dual Haar normalisation. Then the Fourier transform extends uniquely to a unitary operator that is, for all , and is bijective.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A locally compact Hausdorff abelian group with Haar measure , dual with the compatible dual Haar measure, and the isometric extension of the Fourier transform.
The Fourier transform restricts to a linear isometry on the dense subspace and has a unique linear isometric extension with . (Plancherel isometric extension on LCA groups, The space as the quotient by null functions)
The range of is dense in . (The Plancherel transform range is dense in L^2 of the dual)
and are complete; a linear isometry from a complete space has closed range, and a closed dense subspace is the whole space. (Riesz-Fischer completeness of for )
If a linear map between inner product spaces satisfies for all , then for all : the inner product is recovered from the norm by the polarisation formula. (Jordan–von Neumann: a norm is induced by an inner product exactly when it satisfies the parallelogram law)
Proof
The range of is closed in : if then , so is Cauchy and converges to some by completeness, and continuity of gives .
The range is dense by [F2], and a closed dense subspace equals the whole space, so is surjective; by [F4] the isometry also preserves inner products, so is unitary. This is the statement.
