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.
Finite spectral periodic Bose/Fermi gas
A finite-volume ideal gas defined spectrally on the integer momentum labels of a periodic box, with dispersion alpha|2pi k/L|^2 and a finite internal degeneracy g. It proves finite grand trace, exact mode means and continuum density/energy limits for fixed mu<0 in the Bose case or finite mu in the Fermi case. It does not identify this spectral definition with a differential operator domain, claim a finite-volume phase transition, or establish an empirical gas model.
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()) and adopt the model preparation of Quantum statistics and model equilibrium preparation. Let , in m, in kg, in J s, in J K, and in K. Put , , , and let count distinct internal modes. Put , enumerated by increasing , then lexicographically in and increasingly in . Define the one-particle Hilbert space with coordinate basis . Its spectral energy multiplier is for , on the maximal domain ; the real diagonal multiplier is self-adjoint on this domain by the coordinate adjoint calculation in Step 2.1 of Explicit diagonal Fock domains and occupation trace.
Let be the finite-support maps , and let be the finite-support maps , with occupation bases of the Bose or Fermi Fock space as in Occupation bases and actual CCR/CAR domains. Use for bosons and for fermions. Define the finite sums and , and the mode occupation random variables . The diagonal many-body Hamiltonian and total number operators act by and on their maximal domains as self-adjoint operators on those domains by Explicit diagonal Fock domains and occupation trace.
For bosons take ; for fermions take any finite . In either case the grand trace is finite and positive, and its normalized occupation law is . For a -integrable real random variable , write ; if has finite second moment, set . In particular, and . Under this additive diagonal Hamiltonian its mode occupations are independent, and with the upper sign choice in the denominator interpreted as for bosons and for fermions (equivalently the variance is for bosons and for fermions). For fixed in these regimes, as , The continuum limits are conditional model deductions; they assert no thermalization or measured density.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: ; in J m, in m, and in J, in J, in K, in J K, and in m.
Quantum statistics and model equilibrium preparation: Bose/Fermi sector selection and the trace-Gibbs preparation are adopted; a finite positive trace is required.
Explicit diagonal Fock domains and occupation trace, Statement: the displayed diagonal multiplier has the exact domains, trace products, marginals, independence, and mode mean/variance formulas under its q-summability hypotheses.
Lattice Gaussian Riemann limits and the singular Bose endpoint, Statement: Gaussian lattice sums and polynomially weighted occupation sums are finite, and their scaled Riemann sums converge for in the Bose case and finite in the Fermi case.
Proof
Set and . The Gaussian lattice bound from [F2] gives . For bosons, , so the uniform gap and summability hypotheses in [F1] hold. For fermions they hold with ; only finitely many modes have , since that inequality confines to a bounded ball in the discrete lattice. The one-particle real diagonal multiplier has the stated weighted-square domain by the coefficient and adjoint test in [F1].
Apply [F1] to these exact mode weights. Its finite positive product is the trace of ; normalization yields the stated independent geometric or Bernoulli mode laws. The means and variances are those displayed in the Statement.
With , one has . Therefore and . Both limits follow from [F2], using weights and . The polynomial tail bound also makes these number and energy densities finite.
