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.
Translation-averaged stationary Gibbs state
Statement
Assume Countable Choice, a translation-invariant finite-range interaction on with finite alphabet, and a nonempty DLR state set. Then there exists at least one translation-stationary DLR state. This assertion does not imply uniqueness or ergodicity.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A translation-invariant specification with at least one DLR probability measure and the Countable Choice measure framework.
Under Countable Choice the DLR set is nonempty, convex and closed under cylinder convergence (Finite-range lattice DLR existence and closed convex state set).
Every sequence of probabilities on the finite-alphabet product has a cylinder-convergent subsequence whose limit is a probability; two probabilities agreeing on all cylinders are equal (Finite-alphabet product and probability compactness).
Set and . For , define the translation by and its action on measures by push-forward, .
Proof
Choose a DLR state . The translated interaction list gives for every bounded measurable , by reindexing each anchor and each local spin in the finite sums. Hence , so every translate is DLR; by convexity in [F1], the cube average is DLR.
For any fixed shift and bounded local , cancellation of terms indexed by gives . For all sufficiently large , and , so the ratio equals .
By [F2], a subsequence of converges on cylinders to a probability ; since each average is DLR, closedness in [F1] makes its limit DLR. Step 2.1 passes to this limit for every local and fixed , so and agree on all cylinders; uniqueness of measures on cylinders in [F2] gives . Thus is stationary.
