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 principal part of a Laurent series

Definition

Let

$\sum_{n \in Z} c_{n} (z - a)^{n}$

be a convergent Laurent series on an annulus (Convergent Laurent series on an annulus). Its principal part is the negative-power subseries

$\sum_{m \geq 1} c_{- m} (z - a)^{- m} .$

Its regular part is the nonnegative-power subseries

$\sum_{n \geq 0} c_{n} (z - a)^{n} .$

Remarks

When the annulus is a punctured disc about $a$ , the principal part measures what fails to extend holomorphically across $a$ : it vanishes for a removable singularity, is finite and nonzero for a pole, and has infinitely many nonzero terms for an essential singularity. On an annulus with positive inner radius, $a$ is outside the domain and no singularity classification at $a$ is implied.
