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.

Lattice ball and shell counts and weight sums on the frequency lattice

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice ACω (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)), as the Lebesgue-measure statements quoted below do. Let wk=(1+∣2πk∣22)1/2 for k∈Z3 (Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection).

  1. Ball count. For every R≥0, #{ k∈Z3:∣k∣2≤R }  ≤  4π3(R+32)3.
  2. Shell count. There is an absolute constant C∗ such that for every integer m≥1 #{ k∈Z3:m≤∣k∣2<m+1 }  ≤  C∗(m+1)2; the proof exhibits C∗=240.
  3. Weight sums. If σ>3/2 then ∑k∈Z3wk−2σ<+∞; more generally, if σ−r>3/2 then ∑k∈Z3wk2r−2σ<+∞. In particular ∑k∈Z3(2π∣k∣2)2wk−2σ<+∞ whenever σ>5/2.
  4. ℓ1 bounds. If σ>3/2, then for every family c:Z3→C3 ∑k∈Z3∣c(k)∣2  ≤  Wσ(∑k∈Z3wk2σ∣c(k)∣22)1/2,Wσ:=(∑k∈Z3wk−2σ)1/2<+∞, and if σ>5/2, then with Wσ′:=(∑k(2π∣k∣2)2wk−2σ)1/2<+∞, ∑k∈Z32π∣k∣2 ∣c(k)∣2  ≤  Wσ′(∑k∈Z3wk2σ∣c(k)∣22)1/2.
  5. Truncation tails. For every integer N≥0, every real r and every family c:Z3→C3, ∑∣k∣∞>Nwk2r∣c(k)∣22  ≤  (2π(N+1))−2∑∣k∣∞>Nwk2r+2∣c(k)∣22, both sides allowed to be +∞; in particular, for u∈Hr+1 the Hr-weighted tail beyond ∣k∣∞>N is at most (2π(N+1))−2∥u∥Hr+12.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The weight family wk=(1+4π2∣k∣22)1/2 of Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection, with wk≥1, wk≥2π∣k∣∞ and ∣2πkj∣≤wk for j=1,2,3.

[F1]

A measure is countably additive on pairwise disjoint measurable sets, hence finitely additive: if A,B are disjoint measurable sets then μ(A∪B)=μ(A)+μ(B), and monotonicity A⊆B⇒μ(A)≤μ(B) follows by applying additivity to the disjoint sequence A,B∖A,∅,∅,… (Measures on sigma-algebras).

[F2]

The half-open box ∏i<3(ai,bi] is Lebesgue measurable of measure ∏i<3(bi−ai) (A box in Rn with parameters ai≤bi is Lebesgue measurable of measure ∏i<n(bi−ai), whichever of its faces are included).

[F4]

The closed ball of radius R in R3 has volume 43πR3, which is the value V3(R)=π3/2R3/Γ(5/2) of The volume of a radius-r closed n-ball is πn/2rn/Γ(n/2+1).

[F5]

For a family a:N→[0,+∞] the nonnegative extended sum is the supremum of the finite partial sums, and the finite sums are the usual ones (Series in the nonnegative extended real line); in particular a nonnegative series converges exactly when its finite partial sums are bounded.

[F6]

For reals a0,…,an−1 and b0,…,bn−1, ∣∑k<nakbk∣≤(∑k<nak2)1/2(∑k<nbk2)1/2 (The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for finite sums).

[F7]

If f:[0,∞)→R is nonincreasing and nonnegative, then ∑k≥0f(k) converges if and only if the integrals ∫0Nf are bounded (The integral test: for f≥0 nonincreasing on [0,∞), ∑kf(k) converges if and only if the sequence (∫0Nf)N is bounded, with ∫0Nf≤∑k<Nf(k)≤f(0)+∫0Nf); this yields the convergence of ∑m≥1m−p for p>1.

Proof

technique · direct; count lattice points by packing unit boxes into a ball, then compare the weight sums with convergent $p$-series and apply Cauchy-Schwarz to finite partial sums

Given: The weight family wk and the facts [F1]-[F7].

1.1givenF2

For k∈Z3 let Hk:=∏i=13(ki−12,ki+12] be the half-open unit box centred at k. Distinct Hk are pairwise disjoint: if k≠l then ∣ki−li∣≥1 for some i, and the half-open intervals (ki−12,ki+12] and (li−12,li+12] are disjoint. Each Hk is measurable of measure 1 by [F2], and Hk⊆B‾(0,R+32) whenever ∣k∣2≤R, because for x∈Hk one has ∣x∣2≤∣k∣2+∣x−k∣2≤R+3/2.

Let N(R):=#{k∈Z3:∣k∣2≤R}. The union UR:=⋃∣k∣2≤RHk is a finite disjoint union of measurable sets, so by induction on the number of boxes and [F1] one has λ3(UR)=∑∣k∣2≤Rλ3(Hk)=N(R). Since UR⊆B‾(0,R+3/2) by step 1.1 and the closed ball is measurable, monotonicity in [F1] gives N(R)=λ3(UR)≤λ3(B‾(0,R+3/2))=43π(R+3/2)3 by [F4]; this is claim 1.

Put c:=3/2<1. The disjoint unit boxes Hk for m≤∣k∣2<m+1 lie in the annulus m−c≤∣x∣2<m+1+c, since ∣x−k∣2≤c. For every 0<ϵ<m−c, their union is contained in the closed outer ball of radius m+1+c minus the closed inner ball of radius m−c−ϵ. Its measure is at most 43π[(m+1+c)3−(m−c−ϵ)3] by [F1] and [F4]; letting ϵ↓0 bounds the union by 43π[(m+1+c)3−(m−c)3], without needing a separate sphere-measure assertion. By finite additivity each box has volume one, so the shell count is bounded by this volume. Since m≥1 and c<1, the difference of cubes is at most (m+2)3−(m−1)3=9m2+9m+9≤27(m+1)2. Thus the shell count is at most 36π(m+1)2≤240(m+1)2, preserving the stated C∗=240.

Write Σσ:=∑k∈Z3wk−2σ as a nonnegative extended sum and split it into the mode k=0 and the shells of index m≥1. Using claim 2, wk2≥4π2m2 on the m-th shell and 1≤m, we get the finite-partial-sum bound ∑∣k∣2≤Mwk−2σ≤1+240(4π2)−σ∑1≤m≤M(m+1)2m−2σ for M≥1; since (m+1)2≤4m2 there is a constant C with ∑∣k∣2≤Mwk−2σ≤1+C∑m≤Mm2−2σ for every M. If σ>3/2 then 2σ−2>1, so ∑m≥1m2−2σ converges by [F7]; by [F5] the finite partial sums of Σσ are bounded, so Σσ<+∞. Replacing σ by σ−r gives the general weight sum ∑kwk2r−2σ=∑kwk−2(σ−r)<+∞ whenever σ−r>3/2, and with r=1 and σ>5/2 this gives ∑k(2π∣k∣2)2wk−2σ≤∑kwk2−2σ<+∞, since 2π∣k∣2≤wk; this is claim 3.

For claim 4 fix a family c and a finite F⊆Z3. Cauchy-Schwarz [F6] applied to the lists ak=wk−σ and bk=wkσ∣c(k)∣2, k∈F, gives ∑k∈F∣c(k)∣2≤(∑k∈Fwk−2σ)1/2(∑k∈Fwk2σ∣c(k)∣22)1/2≤Wσ∥c∥ℓσ2, with Wσ finite by claim 3; taking the supremum over finite F by [F5] gives the first bound. The second bound is the same computation with the lists ak=2π∣k∣2wk−σ and bk=wkσ∣c(k)∣2, whose first factor is Wσ′<∞ by claim 3 with r=1 and σ>5/2.

For claim 5 let ∣k∣∞>N, so 2π∣k∣∞≥2π(N+1) and hence wk≥2π(N+1) by the given inequality wk≥2π∣k∣∞; therefore wk2r≤(2π(N+1))−2wk2r+2 for every such k. Summing this pointwise inequality over the finite sets {∣k∣∞>N, ∣k∣2≤M} and taking the supremum in M by [F5] gives claim 5; for u∈Hr+1 the right-hand side is at most (2π(N+1))−2∥u∥Hr+12.

Remarks

  • The count in claim 1 is the standard packing of unit half-open cubes into the ball of radius R+3/2; it is sharp up to the constant, which is all the later estimates use.
  • Claim 3 and claim 4 are the only place where the threshold σ>3/2 for the torus dimension 3 enters: the lattice sum ∑kwk−2σ converges exactly when 2σ>3, and the ℓ1 bound for coefficients is what forces Sobolev fields of order >3/2 to have absolutely convergent Fourier series, and hence continuous representatives.
  • The tail inequality in claim 5 is the quantitative form of the strong convergence of the Fourier truncations: it shows that the truncation error in Hr is bounded by the (r+1)-norm divided by the first omitted frequency.
