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.

Proof
(Gap estimate for the lattice.) Put , , . Expanding with [F2] gives, for real , ; completing the square in the two variables gives and symmetrically , hence . Here by [F1], and : indeed and for by [F2], so , and would make real, making a real multiple of , contrary to [F1]. Therefore is positive and for all integers , so every nonzero lattice point has modulus at least and is finite for every .
(Local uniform convergence and derivatives of the corrected series.) The nonzero lattice points with are finite by step 1.1. For , the shell contains at most points, so its contribution to is at most . Thus . Put . For and , one has and , so by [F2] and [F2, F3, F9, F11, F10, step 1.1] Hence the finite-subset net of corrected summands converges uniformly on ; call its sum . By [F9], is holomorphic on , and for the defining formula gives . The lattice is countable by [F11], so choose an enumeration ; its partial sums converge locally uniformly to . Applying [F9] gives . For , [F10] gives , while by [F3]. Therefore for and .
(Absolute convergence of and .) By step 2.1, converges. For and , , while the lattice points with are finite by step 1.1. Thus the families are absolutely summable for . In particular and are well-defined complex numbers, with convergent finite-subset sums.
(Odd sums vanish.) The map is a bijection of and the families and are absolutely summable by step 3.1, so reindexing gives and ; hence .
(Taylor expansion of at the origin.) By [F8] applied to the holomorphic function on , for , so by step 2.1 [F8, step 2.1, step 4.1] and since by step 4.1 the last sum is for a holomorphic near . Thus, on ,
(Derivative expansion.) Differentiating the identity of step 5.1 termwise, which is legitimate for the locally uniformly convergent power series by [F9], gives [F9, F10, step 5.1] for a holomorphic near (indeed by the product rule of [F10]).
(Expansions of and .) Write steps 5.1 and 6.1 as and with holomorphic near (one has with , and the constant term is absorbed since is holomorphic). Squaring and cubing the brackets with the product rule of [F10] gives [F10, step 5.1, step 6.1] with holomorphic near ; all displayed coefficients are read off by expanding the products and and using that the resulting remainders are holomorphic.
(The difference is bounded at the origin.) Put , and , a meromorphic function on . Using step 7.1 and from step 5.1 [F7, step 7.1, step 5.1] for a holomorphic near ; in particular as , so is bounded on a punctured neighbourhood of . By [F7] the singularity of at is removable and the extension has .
( is elliptic and pole-free.) By [F4], and are -elliptic; by [F5] constants are elliptic and sums, products and constant multiples of elliptic functions are elliptic, so is a -elliptic function. Its poles can only occur where or has a pole, i.e. at lattice points, by [F4]; but extends holomorphically at by step 8.1 and is -periodic, so near every one has for small , and the holomorphy at passes to . Hence is holomorphic on all of : a -elliptic function without poles.
(Conclusion.) By [F6] the pole-free elliptic function is constant, and the constant is by step 8.1. Hence on , that is ; and the absolute convergence of and is step 3.1.
Remarks
The proof never evaluates a conditionally convergent sum: absolute convergence of comes from the uniform gap of the lattice, and all rearrangements (the odd sums and the Taylor coefficients) are made in absolutely summable families. The invariants are normalised so that the Laurent coefficients and produce and , matching the standard convention; the algebraic identity itself only uses that is a certain pair of constants, and the specific normalisation is the one used later for the discriminant . The single non-elementary input is the removable-singularity theorem, which turns the cancellation of the three lowest Laurent terms into holomorphy at the origin.
