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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: An open set , reals and , complex fields , and the associated real fields of the Statement. Components are indexed by .
Complex exponential and Euler form: is entire with ; for real one has , so and ; and on (The complex exponential by its power series, The complex exponential is entire and its complex derivative is itself, , , and , The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi).
Real and imaginary parts: , ; and are -linear; ; in particular and for real (Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus, The complex numbers as , with the real embedding and imaginary unit ).
Complex differentiability and real differentiability: complex differentiability at a point is equivalent to real total differentiability there with the derivative given by multiplication by the complex derivative; hence is real totally differentiable everywhere with real derivative the multiplication map , and the chain rule for total derivatives applies to real-differentiable compositions (Complex differentiability is equivalent to real total differentiability together with a complex-linear derivative, with , or with the Cauchy–Riemann equations, The complex exponential is entire and its complex derivative is itself, The chain rule for total derivatives: ).
One-variable and componentwise rules: sums, scalar multiples and products of differentiable real functions are differentiable with the usual derivatives (Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when ); partial derivatives are coordinate-line directional derivatives, so is the derivative at of (Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map ); a map on an open is when every component's iterated partials up to order exist and are continuous, and a complex field is exactly when its six real coordinate maps are , with complex partials ( Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms).
The divergence of a real field on open is , and the curl on is ; both are linear in with real scalars, and on complex fields both are applied componentwise to real and imaginary parts (Divergence and curl of a vector field, Divergence and curl are linear and satisfy the scalar product rules).
Continuity toolkit: continuity is the metric notion of Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the - form, and on the Euclidean topology agrees with the product-of- topology (For the product topology on copies of the usual topology of is the metric topology of on , and hence also of and , so as a product and as a metric space are one space); projections from a product are continuous and a map into a product is continuous exactly when all its components are (A map into a product is continuous iff each of its components is; the projections are continuous and open; and each projection is surjective when every factor is nonempty, which for an infinite index set uses the Axiom of Choice); finite sums, products, maxima, minima and quotients of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous (Sums, products, absolute values, finite maxima and minima, and quotients of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous where defined); and a function differentiable at a point of its domain is continuous there (A function differentiable at is continuous at ). For the pullbacks used here, fix . The Euclidean product distance bounds both and ; choosing the from continuity of at or of at therefore proves directly that and are continuous. Finite sums and products of these pullbacks are continuous by the cited algebra lemma.
Proof
[Encoding] For clauses (a) and (c), assume the stated hypotheses. For every and every , [F1] and [F2] give , and the same display with in place of gives ; moreover, since and are , their six real coordinate maps and all first partials are continuous on and the complex partials are , by [F4].
[Injectivity] Let satisfy for every real . At , [F1] gives , so ; at one has by [F1], so by [F2]; hence . If satisfies for all , applying the preceding conclusion at each fixed gives for every , so ; no continuity of is needed for this conclusion.
[Time derivative] Fix and . The map is the composition of the real-linear map (which is differentiable on with derivative and real-linear, so totally differentiable with that derivative) with , which is real totally differentiable everywhere with derivative the multiplication by [F3], followed by multiplication by the constant ; the chain and product rules of [F3], [F4] give derivative . Taking real parts by [F2] and inserting the display of step 1.1, for every ; the same computation with gives .
[Spatial derivatives] Fix and indices . The map equals times plus times on a neighbourhood of small enough that , by step 1.1. By [F4] the coordinate-line maps and are differentiable at with derivatives and , so the sum, scalar-multiple and product rules of [F4] give , which by [F2] and step 1.1 equals ; the same computation with gives .
[Divergence and curl] By [F4] the divergence and curl act componentwise on real and imaginary parts of complex fields; hence, summing step 2.2 over and using -linearity of [F2], , and for the third curl coordinate, in the naming of [F5], the alternating sum of the displayed partials and [F2] give , the other two coordinates being identical by cyclic relabelling of the indices; the linearity of [F5] organizes these componentwise identities into the displayed formulas, and the same argument with gives those for .
[Regularity] Each of the displayed first partials of and of in steps 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1 is a finite sum of products of the maps for among (and the analogues), each continuous on by [F6] since its one-variable factor is continuous on by [F4], together with the maps and , continuous on by [F1], [F6]; the fields themselves are of the same form by step 1.1. By the sum-and-product clause of [F6], all these functions are continuous on ; hence every first partial of and exists and is continuous there, so and are by [F4], with the partials displayed in steps 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1. This proves (a).
[(i) implies (ii)] Assume the phasor system of (c) holds on . Then for every : and by step 3.1 and ; by steps 3.1, 2.1 and ; and by steps 3.1, 2.1 and . Hence the real system holds on .
[(ii) implies (i)] Assume the real system of (c) holds on . The fields , , and are continuous maps on , with scalar-valued and valued in by step 1.1 and [F4], [F5], and steps 2.1 and 3.1 give , , and for all ; the two-phase calculation of step 1.2, also valid for a single complex scalar, then forces on , which is exactly the phasor system.
[Conclusion] Steps 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 4.1 prove the calculus and clauses of (a); step 1.2 proves the injectivity clause (b); steps 4.2 and 4.3 prove both directions of the equivalence (c). All assertions are pointwise identities on the open domain , no existence theory for partial differential equations, no boundary condition and no choice principle are used, and the argument rests only on the cited complex, real-analysis and topological continuity suppliers.
Remarks
- The two evaluation points and are the whole content of injectivity; no integration or orthogonality argument is needed, and the field version of (b) does not use the continuity hypothesis, which is recorded only because the Statement carries it.
- The equivalence (c) concerns the four source-free equations only. It says nothing about boundary conditions, energy, uniqueness of solutions or existence; those belong to the consuming items.
- The proof uses no choice principle: all steps are pointwise computations with explicit finite data, and the continuity conclusion only composes explicitly given continuous maps.
