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.

A truncated Landau pole is not continuum nonexistence

Example

For dimensionless b>0 and g0>0, the truncated equation dg/dt=bg2 with g(0)=g0 has maximal solution g(t)=g0/(1−bg0t) for t<t∗:=(bg0)−1, and g(t)→+∞ as t↑t∗. Here “truncated Landau pole” means this finite endpoint t∗ of the exact solution to the truncated equation, where the real coupling diverges. The calculation supplies no estimate for omitted higher-order beta terms near t∗ and implies no nonexistence result for a continuum theory.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: b>0, g0>0, t∗=(bg0)−1, and the truncated ODE in One-coupling truncated RG flow and leading beta-coefficient invariance.

[A1]

The example concerns only the real truncated initial-value problem; no omitted beta coefficients or ultraviolet completion are specified.

[F1]

One-coupling truncated RG flow and leading beta-coefficient invariance: for the stated prescribed scalar model, the unique maximal solution is g(t)=g0/(1−bg0t) on (−∞,t∗) for bg0>0; maximal means that the IVP solution has no extension to a strictly larger interval as an IVP solution.

Verification

technique · direct endpoint limit

Given: [A1] and [F1].

1.1A1F1

Under [A1], [F1] gives the denominator positive on the interval containing zero with t<t∗, and g is the exact solution of the truncated equation there.

2.1A1F1step 1.1algebra∎

As t↑t∗, 1−bg0t↓0 while g0>0 stays fixed, so g(t)→+∞. Since [F1] states only the truncated equation, neither this limit nor the calculation gives a bound on omitted terms or a conclusion about continuum nonexistence.

Remarks

The pole is an endpoint of this model's maximal solution. It is not a measurement and does not assert that the truncation is accurate near that endpoint.
