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.
Rotating mode Gibbs obstruction
Statement
Let and let be the complex square-summable sequences with inner product , linear in its first argument. Let be the sequence with value at and elsewhere. Write for the bounded complex-linear operators on , with operator norm ; for , is its bounded Hilbert-space adjoint, characterized by . A state on this operator algebra means a bounded complex-linear functional with and for every . Define the occupation-number operator For a densely defined operator on this space, use the adjoint relation The representing is unique when is dense; here “self-adjoint” means and on that domain.
Let be in joules, a dimensionless azimuthal mode number, an angular velocity in , in joule-seconds, and in joules. Set For , has domain ; for , is the zero operator on all of . The operator has energy units J, has angular-momentum units J s, and has energy units J, so also has units J. Define on the common domain and let be its operator closure. For , has domain ; for , is the zero operator on all of . Thus is the self-adjoint closure of the rotating generator , including at the zero threshold. Then , , and are self-adjoint on the stated domains.
Define the one-mode occupation partition sum by It is the diagonal trace of the positive Gibbs weights in the occupation basis whenever the sum is finite. This sum is finite exactly when , in which case For , the weights sum to one and define the diagonal Gibbs functional The proof shows that this is a state in the stated sense. For , the occupation partition sum diverges, so no normalized Gibbs state of this trace form exists. This is a single bosonic mode calculation; it constructs no continuum field state or rotating-spacetime equilibrium.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The square-summable sequence space, its standard coordinate vectors, the real parameters and units in the Statement, and the displayed maximal diagonal domains.
Square-summable families on an arbitrary index set and the space : consists of complex families for which the supremum of finite subsums is finite; its norm is that square root and its pairing is linear in the first argument. The definition gives an inner-product space but does not assert completeness.
Cauchy–Schwarz: , with equality exactly for dependent pairs: the inner product obeys , so the coordinate pairings and adjoint pairings used below converge.
Completeness of countable square-summable sequences: the displayed sequence space with its stated inner product is complete and therefore is a Hilbert space.
Proof
By [F3], with the displayed inner product is complete, so it is a Hilbert space. For , put and . Every finite subset of is contained in some , so . The finite-subsum splitting identity in [F1], applied to , gives . Thus finite-support sequences are dense and lie in , so is densely defined. For , Cauchy–Schwarz [F2] gives convergence of both inner-product sums and so the operator is symmetric.
On the basis vector , the Gibbs weight for is , so the partition sum is the displayed nonnegative series. If , put ; its partial sums are and tend to . If , every term is and the partial sums tend to . If , the terms do not tend to zero, so the nonnegative series diverges.
If , then , and step 1.1 shows for every ; thus and . Conversely, if with representing vector , test the defining identity on each to obtain . Since is square-summable, , so and . Therefore and .
Multiplication by a real nonzero scalar leaves the adjoint domain unchanged and multiplies the adjoint action by : the same coordinate test as step 2.1 forces , and is square-summable exactly when is. Thus is self-adjoint on . The zero operator on all of is self-adjoint: its adjoint relation forces for every , in particular , so . Taking and when proves the assertions for and ; when , on all of . On the common domain, . If , this operator is self-adjoint and closed by the scalar argument, so its closure is itself. If , is zero on the dense finite-support domain ; its graph closure is and hence is zero on all of , which is self-adjoint.
In the finite case , are positive and sum to one. For each , Cauchy–Schwarz [F2] and the operator norm give , hence ; the defining series for is absolutely convergent and . Absolute convergence gives complex linearity, and . For every , . Thus is a bounded positive normalized linear functional, hence a state. If , step 1.2 gives no finite normalizer for these same occupation weights. This proves exactly the asserted trace-Gibbs obstruction without any field-theoretic or spacetime extension.
Remarks
The source treatments motivate finite Gibbs weighting and KMS equilibrium. The positivity threshold, weighted domain, self-adjointness and geometric-series calculation above are proved directly for this one-mode model; no rotating-field or black-hole conclusion is imported.
