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.

Component amplitudes, coherent and incoherent bin laws, and recorded detector weights

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)), the choice hypothesis of the cited Hilbert-space and measure suppliers. Let (D,A,dx) be a σ-finite measure space (Measures on sigma-algebras), let r≥1 be an integer, and let L2(D;Cr):={f:D→Cr measurable: ∫D∥f(x)∥Cr2 dx<∞}/ ⁣∼, the quotient by equality dx-almost everywhere (The space Lp(μ) as the quotient by null functions, Complex Lp classes and Euclidean test-function conventions), with ⟨f,g⟩:=∫D⟨f(x),g(x)⟩Cr dx,∥f∥2:=⟨f,f⟩=∫D∥f(x)∥Cr2 dx, linear in the first argument (L2 with the integral pairing is a Hilbert space). For a,b∈L2(D;Cr) and measurable B⊆D write ⟨a,b⟩B:=∫B⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr dx,N:=∥a∥2+∥b∥2,c:=Re⁡⟨a,b⟩D. Then:

(a) Pointwise and integrated cross term. For dx-almost every x∈D, ∥a(x)+b(x)∥Cr2=∥a(x)∥Cr2+∥b(x)∥Cr2+2Re⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr, and for every measurable B⊆D, the three functions ∥a∥2, ∥b∥2, ⟨a,b⟩Cr being dx-integrable on B, ∫B∥a+b∥2 dx=∫B∥a∥2 dx+∫B∥b∥2 dx+2Re⁡⟨a,b⟩B.

(b) Coherent bin law. If ∥a+b∥>0, then pcoh(B):=∫B∥a+b∥2 dx∥a+b∥2(B∈A) defines a probability measure on (D,A) (Probability measures and probability spaces), and for every B∈A the expansion of (a) holds with ∥a+b∥2=N+2c in the denominator.

(c) Incoherent bin law. If ∥a∥>0, ∥b∥>0 and w∈[0,1], then pmix(B):=w ∫B∥a∥2 dx∥a∥2+(1−w) ∫B∥b∥2 dx∥b∥2(B∈A) defines a probability measure on (D,A).

(d) Recorded weights, sub-probability and conditioning. Let μ be a probability measure on (D,A) and let W:D→[0,1] be measurable. Then B↦ν(B):=∫BW dμ is a finite measure on (D,A) with 0≤ν(D)≤1; if ν(D)>0, then νˉ(B):=ν(B)/ν(D) defines a probability measure on (D,A). More generally, for finitely many measurable weights W1,…,Wm:D→[0,1] with ∑a=1mWa≤1 pointwise, the numbers νa:=∫DWa dμ satisfy νa≥0 and ∑a=1mνa≤1; if ∑a=1mWa=1 pointwise, then ∑a=1mνa=1.

(e) Coincidence criterion. Let ∥a∥>0, ∥b∥>0 and ∥a+b∥>0, and put w∗:=∥a∥2/N, so that pmix with weight w∗ is p∗(B)=N−1∫B(∥a∥2+∥b∥2)dx. Then pcoh(B)=p∗(B) for every B∈A if and only if NRe⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr=c (∥a(x)∥Cr2+∥b(x)∥Cr2)for dx-almost every x∈D. In particular, if ⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr=0 for almost every x, then the two laws coincide; and if c=0, then they coincide if and only if Re⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr=0 for almost every x.

The assertions concern the specified classes and weights only; no probability law of an apparatus, no sample of trials and no empirical claim is asserted.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice; a σ-finite measure space (D,A,dx); an integer r≥1; classes a,b∈L2(D;Cr); a probability measure μ on (D,A); measurable weights W,W1,…,Wm:D→[0,1]; reals w∈[0,1].

[F1]

Componentwise L2 and its pairing. For f=(f1,…,fr) with components in the scalar space L2(D;C) of The space Lp(μ) as the quotient by null functions and Complex Lp classes and Euclidean test-function conventions, the integral ⟨f,g⟩=∑l=1r∫Dflgl‾ dx is finite and defines an inner product, linear in the first argument, with ∥f∥2=∑l∥fl∥2; for every measurable B the partial pairing satisfies ∣⟨f,g⟩B∣≤∥f∥L2(B)∥g∥L2(B)≤∥f∥ ∥g∥ (L2 with the integral pairing is a Hilbert space, Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for L2, Cauchy–Schwarz: ∣⟨u,v⟩∣≤∥u∥∥v∥, with equality exactly for linearly dependent vectors). Two choices of representatives of f,g change x↦⟨f(x),g(x)⟩Cr and x↦∥f(x)+g(x)∥2 only on a dx-null set, so the pointwise assertions are well posed almost everywhere.

[F2]

Indefinite integrals are measures. For nonnegative measurable h the set function B↦∫Bh dx is a measure on (D,A) (The indefinite integral of a nonnegative measurable function is a measure); for g∈L1(dx) the real and imaginary parts of B↦∫Bg dx are countably additive by monotone convergence (Monotone convergence for the integral).

[F3]

Monotonicity of the integral. If 0≤h≤H are measurable, then ∫Dh dx≤∫DH dx (Monotonicity and nonnegative homogeneity of the nonnegative integral).

[F4]

Probability measures and normalization. A probability measure is a measure on (D,A) with total mass 1 (Probability measures and probability spaces, Measures on sigma-algebras). A finite measure ν≥0 with 0<ν(D)<∞ is normalized to a probability measure by νˉ(B)=ν(B)/ν(D), because countable additivity divided by the constant ν(D) stays countably additive and νˉ(D)=1.

Proof

technique · direct; expand the squared component norm pointwise, then read off in turn the two normalized laws and the weight bounds, integrate the cross term, normalize it, and compute the coincidence condition from the two displayed formulas

Given: The data of the statement and [F1]-[F4].

1.1givenF1algebra

[Pointwise identity] Fix representatives of a,b. For every x∈D the identity ∥a(x)+b(x)∥Cr2=∥a(x)∥Cr2+∥b(x)∥Cr2+2Re⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr holds by the expansion of the finite-dimensional inner product; by [F1] the three real functions x↦∥a(x)∥2, ∥b(x)∥2 and Re⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩ are measurable, and the last is integrable because ∣Re⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩∣≤∥a(x)∥ ∥b(x)∥ with ∥a∥ ∥b∥∈L1(dx); representatives differing on null sets change the identity only on a null set. This proves the pointwise assertion of (a).

1.2F2F4algebra

[Incoherent law] Assume ∥a∥,∥b∥>0. By [F2] each of B↦∫B∥a∥2dx and B↦∫B∥b∥2dx is a finite measure with positive total masses ∥a∥2 and ∥b∥2; by [F4] each normalized set function is a probability measure, and a convex combination with w∈[0,1] of two probability measures is again a probability measure, because countable additivity is preserved and w⋅1+(1−w)⋅1=1. This is (c).

1.3F2F3F4algebra

[Recorded weights] Applying [F3] with h=W and H=1 gives ν(D)=∫DW dμ≤∫D1 dμ=1 and ν(B)≥0 for every B because W≥0; countable additivity of ν follows from [F2] applied to the measure μ. If ν(D)>0, [F4] makes νˉ a probability measure. For the finite family, νa=∫DWadμ≥0 and ∑aνa=∫D∑aWa dμ≤∫D1 dμ=1 by finite additivity and [F3]; if ∑aWa=1 pointwise, the middle integral equals μ(D)=1. This is (d).

2.1step 1.1F1algebra

[Integrated identity] Let B∈A. Integrating the identity of step 1.1 over B is legitimate because all three terms are integrable on B by step 1.1 and [F1]; the integral of the left side is ∫B∥a+b∥2dx and the integral of the right side is ∫B∥a∥2dx+∫B∥b∥2dx+2Re⁡⟨a,b⟩B, which is the displayed identity of (a).

3.1step 2.1F2F3F4algebra

[Coherent law] Assume ∥a+b∥>0. The set function B↦∫B∥a+b∥2dx is a finite measure with total mass ∥a+b∥2 by [F2], and ∥a+b∥2∈(0,∞); dividing by this constant gives a finite measure of total mass one, hence a probability measure by [F4], whose value at B is pcoh(B) with denominator N+2c by step 2.1 applied to B=D. This is (b).

[Coincidence criterion] Assume the hypotheses of (e), including ∥a+b∥>0. By steps 2.1 and 1.2 with w=w∗, p∗(B)=1N∫B(∥a∥2+∥b∥2)dx and pcoh(B)=∫B(∥a∥2+∥b∥2)dx+2c(B)N+2c with c(B):=Re⁡⟨a,b⟩B; since N>0 and N+2c=∥a+b∥2>0, the equality pcoh(B)=p∗(B) is equivalent to Nc(B)=c M(B) for the finite measure M(B):=∫B(∥a∥2+∥b∥2)dx. The signed measure Nc(⋅)−c M(⋅) vanishes on every B∈A if and only if its density NRe⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩Cr−c(∥a(x)∥2+∥b(x)∥2) vanishes dx-almost everywhere by [F2], since a nonzero integrable density has a level set of strictly positive or strictly negative integral. This is the displayed criterion; if ⟨a(x),b(x)⟩=0 a.e., then c=0 and c(B)=0 for every B, so the laws coincide, and if c=0 the criterion reduces to Re⁡⟨a(x),b(x)⟩=0 a.e. This proves (e), and steps 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 3.1 prove the remaining clauses.

Remarks

  • Convention. The pairing is linear in the first argument, as fixed by the cited L2 items, so the cross term of a sum a+b is 2Re⁡⟨a,b⟩ and not 2Re⁡⟨b,a⟩; the two agree because the real part is symmetric.
  • What is not asserted. The lemma is an identity and inequality package for classes and weights; it produces no detector law, no state update, no sample of trials and no measured frequency. The coincidence criterion concerns the two declared laws, not the question of which preparation a laboratory realizes.
