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.
Absolute continuity of a signed or complex measure with respect to a positive measure
Definition
Let be a positive measure and let be a signed measure or a complex measure on the same measurable space . We say that is absolutely continuous with respect to , and write if every measurable -null set is also -null: Because every measurable subset of a -null set is again -null, this is equivalent to requiring for every measurable whenever .
