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.
Two-dimensional Fourier logarithmic velocity bound
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. Let have normalized measure , Fourier coefficients , weights , and Sobolev norms , componentwise for vector fields. For an integer and smooth real divergence-free , define , , , and . Then and there is a constant depending only on such that

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, the normalized Fourier and Sobolev conventions in the Statement, and the smooth divergence-free field .
Countable Choice: every countable family of nonempty sets has a choice function (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Periodic fluid Fourier Sobolev spaces: the normalized coefficients and weights in the Statement define the Fourier Sobolev norms componentwise.
Proof
In each periodic coefficient integral, one-coordinate integration by parts has boundary term because both factors are periodic, so . Thus for and . Since a vector in orthogonal to the nonzero real vector is a complex multiple of , these identities imply .
For , Cauchy–Schwarz and the definition of give For each integer , the unit squares centered at lattice points with lie in an annulus of radii and ; comparing areas shows that this shell contains at most lattice points. Hence , and the low-frequency sum is at most .
For the high frequencies, Cauchy–Schwarz gives The same shell count bounds the series inside the square root by , since . Thus the high-frequency sum is at most . The series is finite for every such by the same estimate and its finite low-frequency part.
Choose . Then , and because and . Combining the low- and high-frequency bounds from steps 2.1 and 3.1 proves the asserted estimate.
