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.

Born amplitude of a declared uniform ball potential with an explicit weak-coupling condition

Physical scope

The declared short-range scattering model with a uniform real ball potential of strength V_0 and radius R in the pair's stationary beam reading: the explicit Born amplitude as a function of the momentum transfer, its forward value, and an explicit Hilbert-Schmidt condition on V_0, R and m that makes the controlled Born error estimate of the pair applicable. Conditional on the declared model and cited mathematics; no measured cross section and no claim that the Born reading applies outside the stated explicit condition.

Example

Setup. Adopt the declared short-range scattering model The declared short-range scattering model: state space, potential classes, assigned energy observables, asymptotic vocabulary and units with mass m>0, spin zero, action constant ℏ>0 and the uniform ball potential V(x):={V0,∣x∣<R,0,∣x∣≥R,V0∈R, R>0, read in joules and metres; adopt the stationary beam model at wave number k>0 and direction d, and let W=(2m/ℏ2)V, q=∥Kk∥, fk and the Born amplitude fB be as in The controlled Born reading: operator-norm condition, uniform amplitude error and coupling scaling. Write θ for the scattering angle, cos⁡θ=Ω⋅d, and qtr:=k(d−Ω) for the wave-vector transfer and qtr:=∣qtr∣=2ksin⁡(θ/2) for its magnitude.

Verification

Given: the declared model data, the Born theorem of the pair, and the polar-coordinates formula for Lebesgue measure.

1.1givenalgebra

By the Born theorem, fB(Ω)=−14π∫BReiqtr⋅yW(y) dy with W=V02m/ℏ2 constant on BR; in polar coordinates the ball integral is ∫BReiq⋅ydy=2π∫0R∫−11eiqrsr2 ds dr=4π(sin⁡(qR)−qRcos⁡(qR))/q3 for q=qtr>0, and equals 4πR3/3 at q=0 by continuity.

1.2givenalgebra

The kernel Gk(x−y)W(y) on BR×BR has squared Hilbert-Schmidt norm ∫BR∫BR∣Gk(x−y)W(y)∣2dx dy=∣V0∣2(2m/ℏ2)216π2∫BR∫BR∣x−y∣−2dx dy; for each y the inner integral over x∈BR is at most the integral over the ball of radius 2R around y, which is 8πR. Hence ∥Kk∥≤∥Kk∥HS≤2m∣V0∣ℏ2R22/3=:qHS.

2.1step 1.1algebra

Therefore fB(Ω)=−2mV0ℏ2⋅sin⁡(qtrR)−qtrRcos⁡(qtrR)qtr3 for qtr>0, with the forward value fB(θ=0)=−2mV0ℏ2R33; the amplitude has the dimension of length, since 2mV0/ℏ2 is in m−2 and the bracket in m3.

2.2step 1.2givenalgebra

Consequently, if 2m∣V0∣ℏ2R22/3<1, then q=∥Kk∥≤qHS<1 and the controlled Born estimate of the theorem applies; since t↦t/(1−t) is increasing on [0,1) and ∥einc∥L2(BR)=∣BR∣1/2, the uniform error bound is at most ∣fk(Ω)−fB(Ω)∣≤∥W∥∞∣BR∣4πqHS1−qHS=2m∣V0∣ℏ2R33qHS1−qHS in metres; this is an explicit condition on the declared strength, radius, mass and action constant, verified here without any numerical value of the constants.

Under the same condition the beam model reads dσ/dΩ(0)=∣fk(0)∣2, and the theorem controls the difference from ∣fB(0)∣2 through the bound of 2.2; the pair asserts the display ∣fB(0)∣2=(2mV0ℏ2)2R69 as the Born forward reading, read in m2 sr−1, and no measured value.

Remarks

  • Scope. The Born amplitude is a conditional model quantity; the explicit condition of 2.2 is sufficient for the controlled error bound of the pair and is not claimed to be necessary.
  • No weak-potential language. The pair avoids "for a weak potential"; the condition is the operator-norm condition q<1, verified here through the displayed Hilbert-Schmidt bound.
