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.
For , zeta admits the fractional-part integral formula with a simple residue-one pole at
Statement
For every complex number with and ,
where is the fractional part. The integral defines a holomorphic function on , so the right-hand side is meromorphic there with a single simple pole at of residue .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A complex number with .
For rational , the series converges (For rational , converges iff ).
Proof
For , Expanding the last sum gives and therefore
Since , the term tends to as . Letting in step 1.1 and using [L1] yields Also so on .
Let be compact, and choose with on . Because , Taking rational with , [L2] implies , so the integral in step 2.1 converges absolutely and locally uniformly on . Hence it defines a holomorphic function there. Therefore the displayed formula continues meromorphically to , and the only singularity is the simple pole of at , whose residue is .
