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.

Finiteness and a uniform bound for the entries of the inertia tensor about an arbitrary point

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice ACω (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Let ν be a measure on (R3,B(R3)) that is finite and bounded: ν(R3)<+∞ and ν(R3∖B‾R(0))=0 for some real R>0 (Open ball, closed ball and sphere in a metric space), and let a∈R3. With the shifted integrands Ga(ρ)jk=∥ρ−a∥22δjk−(ρj−aj)(ρk−ak) of The inertia tensor of a finite bounded Borel measure about any point of R3 (The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn for the norm), then:

  1. for all j,k the function Ga(⋅)jk:R3→R is Borel measurable and ν-integrable (Borel measurable and Lebesgue measurable functions on Rn);
  2. each entry Iν(a)jk is a finite real number and

∣Iν(a)jk∣≤2(R+∥a∥2)2 ν(R3).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A finite bounded Borel measure ν on R3 with ν(R3∖B‾R(0))=0, and a point a∈R3.

[L1]

Under ACω every continuous map R3→R is Borel measurable (Continuous functions on Euclidean spaces are Borel measurable, Borel measurable and Lebesgue measurable functions on Rn), and sums, scalar multiples and pointwise products of measurable real-valued functions are measurable (Arithmetic and lattice operations preserve measurability whenever they are defined).

[L2]

Estimates on the ball: for ρ∈B‾R(0) one has ∥ρ∥2≤R and therefore ∥ρ−a∥2≤∥ρ∥2+∥a∥2≤R+∥a∥2 by the triangle inequality for the Euclidean norm (The inner-product norm is definite, homogeneous, and satisfies the triangle inequality, The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn); and for each index j one has (ρj−aj)2≤∑l(ρl−al)2=∥ρ−a∥22, because each term of a finite sum of nonnegative reals is at most the sum (Laws of finite sums and finite products, clause 4, The Euclidean inner product ⟨x,y⟩=∑k<nxkyk on Rn).

[L3]

The elementary inequality 2uv≤u2+v2 for reals u,v follows from (u−v)2≥0 by squaring rules (Squares of nonzero elements are positive, Absolute value in an ordered field).

[L4]

Nonnegative integrals: the constant function with value c≥0 has ∫c dν=c ν(R3) via the simple-function integral; the nonnegative integral is monotone and homogeneous for nonnegative scalars (The nonnegative Lebesgue integral, The integral of a nonnegative simple function, Monotonicity and nonnegative homogeneity of the nonnegative integral).

[L5]

A real measurable function f with ∫∣f∣ dν<+∞ is ν-integrable, and then ∣∫f dν∣≤∫∣f∣ dν (Integrable real and complex functions, and their integrals, The modulus of an integral is bounded by the integral of the modulus, Integral over a measurable subset).

[L6]

Indefinite integrals and null sets (The indefinite integral of a nonnegative measurable function is a measure, A nonnegative integral over a null set vanishes, Integral over a measurable subset): for every nonnegative measurable f the set function A↦∫Af dν is a measure, so ∫A∪Bf dν=∫Af dν+∫Bf dν for disjoint measurable A,B; and if A is ν-null then ∫Af dν=0.

Proof

Proof technique: direct; prove measurability, bound the shifted integrand pointwise on the support ball by a constant, and integrate the constant.

1.1givenL1L2

Measurability: the coordinate maps ρ↦ρj, the identity maps ρ↦aj, and ρ↦∥ρ−a∥22=∑l(ρl−al)2 are continuous, hence Borel measurable by [L1]; sums and products of these measurable functions are measurable by [L1], so each Ga(⋅)jk=∥ρ−a∥22δjk−(ρj−aj)(ρk−ak) is Borel measurable.

1.2givenL2L3algebra

Pointwise bound on the support ball: for ρ∈B‾R(0), by [L2] and [L3], ∣Ga(ρ)jk∣≤∥ρ−a∥22+∣ρj−aj∣ ∣ρk−ak∣≤∥ρ−a∥22+12((ρj−aj)2+(ρk−ak)2)≤2∥ρ−a∥22≤2(R+∥a∥2)2.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2givenL4L5L6algebra∎

Integrability and the bound: the function ∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ is nonnegative and measurable by step 1.1, so [L6] applied to the disjoint measurable sets B‾R(0) and N:=R3∖B‾R(0), the latter ν-null, gives ∫∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ dν=∫B‾R(0)∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ dν+∫N∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ dν=∫B‾R(0)∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ dν. On B‾R(0) the integrand is bounded by the constant M:=2(R+∥a∥2)2 by step 1.2, so monotonicity in [L4] applied to the pointwise inequality ∣Ga(⋅)jk∣χB‾R(0)≤MχB‾R(0)≤M, and the constant-value formula, give ∫∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ dν≤∫M dν=M ν(R3)<+∞. By step 1.1 and [L5] the function Ga(⋅)jk is ν-integrable, its integral Iν(a)jk is a finite real number, and ∣Iν(a)jk∣=∣∫Ga(⋅)jk dν∣≤∫∣Ga(⋅)jk∣ dν≤2(R+∥a∥2)2ν(R3).

Remarks

  • The bound is uniform in the shape of the measure: it uses only the support radius R, the shift ∥a∥2 and the total mass ν(R3), not the detailed distribution. For a=0 it reproduces the bound 2R2ν(R3) of the shifted integrand computed at the origin.

  • The Axiom of Countable Choice is used exactly once, in [L1], to obtain the Borel measurability of the continuous integrands; every later consumer of this finiteness statement carries the assumption explicitly.
