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.
Regular normal-ordering change is an exact star isomorphism
Statement
Let , , and let be symmetric under interchange of its variables. Define on . Each sum is finite on each polynomial because lowers degree by two. Then is invertible with inverse , and for all regular polynomial functionals . Thus the change from to is an exact algebra isomorphism on this regular class.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: [F1]–[F4], a symmetric continuous bidistribution , and the formal-parameter convention of [A1].
The parameter is formal and fixed by complex conjugation.
The regular coefficient kernels and their functional derivatives are smooth and compactly supported; compactly supported complex Riemann integrals are evaluated componentwise as defined in Regular polynomial field functional algebra, and the coefficient representation is unique (Tensor-product tests are dense in smooth compact kernel topology).
Tensor products of distributions pair independently and iterated pairings associate (Tensor product distributions and iterated pairings).
Distributional pairings with smooth common-compact-support parameter families are smooth, with derivatives passed through the pairing (Distribution pairing with smooth parameter families).
For every continuous bidistribution , the regular contraction product is well defined and associative, with finite sums (Regular Wick-star contractions are well defined and associative).
Proof
Given: [A1]–[F4], , and symmetric .
For a homogeneous coefficient of degree , one application of contracts two derivative variables against , leaving a smooth compact kernel by [F1]–[F3]. It lowers the polynomial degree by two; therefore when , so is a finite sum in . The same finite argument defines .
For this computation set as a formal generating series. Each second derivative contracts to . Coefficientwise this gives where the exponential is its formal power series; each coefficient used below involves only finitely many derivatives.
On two auxiliary generators, the left side of the asserted identity has the scalar factor The right side has factor Symmetry and bilinearity of make these exponents equal.
Comparing coefficients of in step 3.1 first proves the identity for powers of linear functionals. Replacing by and comparing the coefficient of , and doing the same independently for , proves it for every finite product of distinct linear functionals. Each fixed coefficient is continuous in its smooth compact kernels by [F2]–[F4]; the density in [F1] therefore extends the identity to all . For an input of degree , the coefficient of in is multiplied by , which is zero for and one for . The sums are finite because lowers degree by two, so ; the reverse composition is identical.
