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 (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()), as the Lebesgue-measure statements quoted below do. Let for (Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection).
- Ball count. For every ,
- Shell count. There is an absolute constant such that for every integer the proof exhibits .
- Weight sums. If then ; more generally, if then . In particular whenever .
- bounds. If , then for every family and if , then with ,
- Truncation tails. For every integer , every real and every family , both sides allowed to be ; in particular, for the -weighted tail beyond is at most .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The weight family of Periodic vector Sobolev spaces on the three-torus, the weight family, and the Leray projection, with , and for .
A measure is countably additive on pairwise disjoint measurable sets, hence finitely additive: if are disjoint measurable sets then , and monotonicity follows by applying additivity to the disjoint sequence (Measures on sigma-algebras).
The half-open box is Lebesgue measurable of measure (A box in with parameters is Lebesgue measurable of measure , whichever of its faces are included).
The closed ball of radius in has volume , which is the value of The volume of a radius- closed -ball is .
For a family 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.
For reals and , (The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for finite sums).
If is nonincreasing and nonnegative, then converges if and only if the integrals are bounded (The integral test: for nonincreasing on , converges if and only if the sequence is bounded, with ); this yields the convergence of for .
Proof
Given: The weight family and the facts [F1]-[F7].
For let be the half-open unit box centred at . Distinct are pairwise disjoint: if then for some , and the half-open intervals and are disjoint. Each is measurable of measure by [F2], and whenever , because for one has .
Let . The union is a finite disjoint union of measurable sets, so by induction on the number of boxes and [F1] one has . Since by step 1.1 and the closed ball is measurable, monotonicity in [F1] gives by [F4]; this is claim 1.
Put . The disjoint unit boxes for lie in the annulus , since . For every , their union is contained in the closed outer ball of radius minus the closed inner ball of radius . Its measure is at most by [F1] and [F4]; letting bounds the union by , 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 and , the difference of cubes is at most . Thus the shell count is at most , preserving the stated .
Write as a nonnegative extended sum and split it into the mode and the shells of index . Using claim 2, on the -th shell and , we get the finite-partial-sum bound for ; since there is a constant with for every . If then , so converges by [F7]; by [F5] the finite partial sums of are bounded, so . Replacing by gives the general weight sum whenever , and with and this gives , since ; this is claim 3.
For claim 4 fix a family and a finite . Cauchy-Schwarz [F6] applied to the lists and , , gives , with finite by claim 3; taking the supremum over finite by [F5] gives the first bound. The second bound is the same computation with the lists and , whose first factor is by claim 3 with and .
For claim 5 let , so and hence by the given inequality ; therefore for every such . Summing this pointwise inequality over the finite sets and taking the supremum in by [F5] gives claim 5; for the right-hand side is at most .
Remarks
- The count in claim 1 is the standard packing of unit half-open cubes into the ball of radius ; 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 for the torus dimension enters: the lattice sum converges exactly when , and the bound for coefficients is what forces Sobolev fields of order 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 is bounded by the -norm divided by the first omitted frequency.
