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.

Smooth periodic finite-N and scaled mean-field phase data — Examples

1 · Prerequisites

2 · Summary

The two-particle example starts from uniform positions and independent centered Gaussian momenta. Its one-particle marginal has zero initial time derivative, while the joint density has a nonzero derivative on an open set. It therefore exhibits finite-N correlation production without claiming that propagation of chaos fails in the large-N regime.

Finite pair dynamics immediately creates correlations

Statement

Use the finite-N model and units of Smooth periodic finite-N and scaled mean-field phase data. Let N=2, d≥1, mass m>0 in kilograms, side length L>0 in metres, and choose a smooth, even, nonconstant periodic potential W∈C∞(TLd) in joules with force K=−∇W in newtons. Let σp>0 in kilogram-metres per second and gσp(p)=(2πσp2)−d/2exp⁡(−∣p∣2/(2σp2)). Let dq be the quotient position volume induced from Euclidean Lebesgue measure on [0,L)d and let dp=λd be momentum Lebesgue measure as defined from The one-dimensional torus and its normalized Haar integral. The canonical N=2 phase volume is dΓ2:=dq1 dq2 dp1 dp2 as in Exact normalized BBGKY hierarchy. The normalized initial density relative to dΓ2 is

F20(q1,q2,p1,p2)=L−2dgσp(p1)gσp(p2).

The density factorizes into uniform position densities and centered Gaussian momentum densities. Under the exact smooth periodic finite-particle flow, the one-particle marginal has ∂tf1(0)=0, while

∂tF2(0)=12σp2K(q1−q2)⋅(p1−p2)F20,

which is nonzero on a nonempty open subset of phase space. Thus the evolved two-particle law fails to remain a product for every sufficiently small nonzero time. No factorization or chaos assumption is made at positive time.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The smooth even periodic N−1 pair model, N=2, the displayed normalized product density, and countable choice for the completed-product hierarchy input.

[F1]

Smooth periodic finite-N and scaled mean-field phase data: positions lie in TLd, momenta in Rd, and the pair force is the odd periodic field K=−∇W in the stated N−1 model.

[F2]

Exact normalized BBGKY hierarchy: the exact normalized hierarchy follows from the finite-N Liouville equation under symmetry, smoothness, rapid tails and countable choice.

[A1]

The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω): assume countable choice as required by the completed-product integration input in [F2].

[F3]

The one-dimensional torus and its normalized Haar integral: the position measure dq on TLd is induced by Lebesgue measure on [0,L)d, and L−ddq is a normalized probability.

[F5]

Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product: nonnegative product integrals on sigma-finite Euclidean product spaces equal their iterated integrals.

Proof

1.1F1F2F3F4F5A1givenalgebra

By [F3], the position density L−d is normalized on TLd. Scaling p=2σpu and applying [F4] gives ∫Re−p2/(2σp2) dp=2πσp; Tonelli [F5] factors the d-dimensional integral, so ∫Rdgσp(p) dp=1. Therefore F20 integrates to one relative to dq1dq2dp1dp2. It is symmetric and smooth; every momentum derivative is a polynomial times a Gaussian, so it has all rapid-tail bounds required by [F2]. Its one-particle marginal is f1(0,q,p)=L−dgσp(p).

2.1F1F2F3A1step 1.1algebra

Use the k=1,N=2 case of [F2]: ∂tf1+p1m⋅∇q1f1+12∇p1⋅∫K(q1−q2)F2(t,z1,z2) dz2=0. At t=0, the streaming derivative vanishes because f1(0) is independent of q1. Also ∫TLdK(q1−q2)L−d dq2=0: by [F3], this is the normalized fundamental-cube integral of a periodic derivative of W, which is zero in each coordinate by the fundamental theorem of calculus and periodicity. Thus the force average in the marginal equation is identically zero before its momentum divergence, and ∂tf1(0)=0.

2.2F1F2step 1.1algebra

The N=2 joint Liouville equation in [F2] has interaction coefficient 1/2. The initial position derivatives vanish, and ∇pigσp(pi)=−(pi/σp2)gσp(pi). Consequently ∂tF2(0)=−12K(q1−q2)⋅(∇p1−∇p2)F20=12σp2K(q1−q2)⋅(p1−p2)F20. Because W is nonconstant, its gradient is nonzero at some point; continuity gives an open set of differences where K≠0. For each such difference, the condition K⋅(p1−p2)≠0 holds on a nonempty open momentum set, and F20 is strictly positive there. Hence the joint derivative is nonzero on a nonempty open set.

3.1step 2.1step 2.2algebra∎

If the evolved joint density remained the product of its two one-particle marginals on a time interval around zero, differentiating that product at t=0 would give ∂tf1(0)⊗f1(0)+f1(0)⊗∂tf1(0)=0 by step 2.1. Step 2.2 gives a nonzero joint derivative on an open set, a contradiction. At a point in that set, differentiability makes the difference between the joint density and the product density nonzero for all sufficiently small nonzero times. Thus correlations appear immediately from this initially factorized law.

Remarks

This example shows that an initially factorized law need not remain factorized under the exact finite-N interaction. It does not contradict a large-N propagation-of-chaos limit, which is a separate asymptotic claim. Here “correlation production” means only loss of the exact factorization F2(t)=f1(t)⊗f1(t).
