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.
Calculus of holomorphic maps: chain rule, Wirtinger derivatives, coefficient extraction in one variable, and locally uniform limits
Statement
Let and let , be open, with holomorphy in the sense of Complex phase domains, holomorphic maps on , and the complexified canonical form and bracket.
- Chain rule. If and are holomorphic, then is holomorphic and
- Wirtinger derivatives and the bracket matrix. If is holomorphic, then is totally differentiable as a map of and, writing for the real and imaginary parts of , Consequently, for holomorphic on a complex phase domain , with and the standard matrix,
- Coefficient extraction in a complex step variable. Let and let be open, and let be holomorphic. Then for every the coefficient map is holomorphic on , and for every , .
- Locally uniform limits. For maps , define locally uniform convergence here to mean that for every nonempty compact and every there is such that for all , with the Euclidean norm on . This is equivalent to uniform convergence of each of the finitely many scalar components on every such , since . On one-variable scalar slices it agrees with Locally uniform convergence on an open subset of the complex plane is compact convergence and Uniform convergence and the uniformly Cauchy condition for complex-valued functions, with the componentwise dictionary. If all are holomorphic and converge in this sense to , then is holomorphic on .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The open sets and the holomorphic maps named in each clause; throughout ( as the Euclidean plane and as a normed real algebra: what the identification preserves, is the real coordinate plane, with coordinate arithmetic).
-linear maps are -linear, and the real total derivative of a holomorphic map equals its -linear derivative read on ; moreover a composition of -linear maps is -linear (Complex phase domains, holomorphic maps on , and the complexified canonical form and bracket, The total (Fréchet) derivative as the linear first-order approximation with remainder, Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map ).
The chain rule for total derivatives: ; and the partial derivatives in the coordinate directions are the entries of the total derivative (The chain rule for total derivatives: , The Jacobian matrix of partial derivatives and the gradient in the scalar-valued case, Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms).
Cauchy formula in one variable and Taylor coefficients: for holomorphic on and , (Iterated Cauchy formula, power-series expansion and Cauchy estimates for functions continuous and separately holomorphic on a polydisc, clause 2, with ; Cauchy's inequalities bound the Taylor coefficients by the circle supremum).
Parameter integrals: a jointly continuous with -slice holomorphic in the parameter has holomorphic parameter integral (A jointly continuous finite-interval parameter integral of holomorphic functions is holomorphic); and a locally uniform limit of holomorphic one-variable functions is holomorphic (Locally uniform limits of holomorphic functions are holomorphic and their derivatives converge locally uniformly).
Continuity: uniform limits of continuous complex-valued maps are continuous (A uniform limit of continuous complex-valued functions is continuous); a holomorphic function of several variables is continuous, because differentiability at every point implies continuity (Complex phase domains, holomorphic maps on , and the complexified canonical form and bracket).
The matrix identity: for as in clause 2, , by block multiplication (Rectangular matrix multiplication and the identity matrix , including zero-sized shapes, The transpose of a matrix).
Proof
Clause 1. A holomorphic map is totally differentiable as a real map with by [L1], so [L2] applies to : it is totally differentiable with derivative , a composite of -linear maps, hence -linear by [L1]. Since was arbitrary, is holomorphic with the displayed derivative.
Clause 2. Let be holomorphic and fix . The partial derivatives exist and are the images under of the real basis vectors by [L2]; because is -linear, , that is, . Hence and . The matrix identity of clause 2 is then exactly [L6].
Clause 3, holomorphy of . For fixed the map is holomorphic on (composition of the holomorphic with the holomorphic slice injection, clause 1), so is well defined and equals the contour integral of [L3]. To see that is holomorphic, fix one coordinate and hold the others; the integrand is, on the compact circle times a small disc in , jointly continuous because is continuous by [L5], and holomorphic in for each because the slice is holomorphic (clause 1). By [L4] applied to the parametrized integral, is holomorphic in on that disc; hence each scalar component of is separately holomorphic, and it is continuous as an integral of a jointly continuous family on a compact contour. By Iterated Cauchy formula, power-series expansion and Cauchy estimates for functions continuous and separately holomorphic on a polydisc applied componentwise to on a polydisc around any point, is holomorphic on : assemble the finitely many complex-linear component derivatives, whose remainder norm is at most times the largest scalar remainder.
Clause 4. Around any choose a closed polydisc contained in . It is compact, so convergence is uniform there in the Euclidean target norm. Continuity of at follows from , first choosing to make both uniform errors less than , then choosing close enough to for the middle term. Apply the remaining argument to each scalar component: fixing all coordinates but one, the slice is a locally uniform limit of holomorphic one-variable functions, hence holomorphic by [L4]; thus each scalar component is continuous and separately holomorphic on , and Iterated Cauchy formula, power-series expansion and Cauchy estimates for functions continuous and separately holomorphic on a polydisc makes it holomorphic. Assemble their derivatives as in step 1.3 to obtain a complex-linear derivative of , with vector remainder .
Conclusion. Clause 1 is step 1.1, clause 2 is step 1.2, clause 3 is step 1.3 and clause 4 is step 2.1.
Remarks
- Clause 3 is applied on this page to families whose coefficients are the field components ; it is the only place where the analytic (rather than merely formal) dependence on the complex step variable is used.
- Clause 1 for and a disc is used to see that is holomorphic in for fixed , once the joint holomorphy of is available from The flow of a bounded holomorphic field on a polydisc: existence in complex time, displacement bound, holomorphy, and the composition law.
