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.
Quantum spectral energy concentration at a differentiable pressure point
Statement

Put , which has units joules per site when is measured in inverse joules. For each nonempty finite region , let and define its energy spectral probability measure by , where is the sum of the orthogonal eigenspace projections of with eigenvalues in the Borel set .

This is a statement about the finite-volume Gibbs spectral distribution under the declared mathematical model; it supplies no empirical observation.

Bounded quantum lattice pressure on cubes and van Hove sets: for each , converges to the finite along every van Hove sequence.

Complex spectral theorem: a normal endomorphism of a finite-dimensional complex inner product space has an orthonormal eigenbasis, and conversely: every finite-dimensional self-adjoint matrix has an orthonormal eigenbasis with real eigenvalues.

Given: [F1]–[F3], , differentiability of at , and .
For nonempty finite , diagonalize using [F3], with eigenvalues and Gibbs weights . Then is convex because . Applying [F2] to also gives .
For nonempty finite , the measure assigns weight to each eigenvalue, combining weights when eigenvalues coincide, and is a probability measure because . For and , each eigenvalue satisfies . Summing the corresponding weights gives The identity gives the displayed exponent.
Fix . Convexity in step 1.1 gives . Along , [F1] makes the two secants converge for fixed to the corresponding secants of . Letting and using differentiability at squeezes ; step 1.1 therefore proves .
Differentiability and give as . Choose so the remainder has magnitude at most . For all sufficiently large , convergence in [F1] at and makes the exponent bracket in step 1.2 at most . Thus the upper-tail probability is at most .
For the lower tail, if then . The same finite spectral sum gives Since , choose a possibly smaller fixed so the limiting bracket is at most ; for large the bracket is at most . Let be the choice in step 2.2, let be this lower-tail choice, and set . Once , the sum of the two tail bounds is at most ; hence works after increasing .
