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.

One-dimensional substitution on a deflection branch: the outgoing angular measure has density b∣db/dθ∣, hence cross-section density b∣db/dθ∣/sin⁡θ

Statement

Assume ACω (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Let θ:(a1,a2)→(θ1,θ2)⊆(0,π) be a deflection branch of Scattering data: the incident flux measure, the solid-angle element, deflection branches and the cross-section density, with inverse b(θ), and set D=(a1,a2)×(0,2π), H=(θ1,θ2)×(0,2π) and T(b,φ)=(θ(b),φ). Restrict the incident measure ν to D. Its pushforward, defined by T∗ν(B)=ν(T−1(B)) for Borel B⊆H, satisfies T∗ν(B)=∫Bb(θ)∣b′(θ)∣ dλ2(θ,φ). For every nonnegative Borel g:H→[0,+∞], and for every real Borel g with either side's integral of ∣g∣ finite, consequently ∫Dg(θ(b),φ)b dλ2(b,φ)=∫Hg(θ,φ)b(θ)∣b′(θ)∣ dλ2(θ,φ). The nonnegative equality allows +∞; in the real case both sides are finite and absolute integrability on one side is equivalent to that on the other. In particular it applies to continuous periodic test functions that are nonnegative or absolutely integrable, and to compactly supported continuous test functions. No equality of undefined signed improper integrals is asserted. Nonnegative double-integral notation denotes the corresponding Lebesgue integrals, with iterated integrals justified by Tonelli.

Thus the outgoing angular measure has density b(θ)∣b′(θ)∣ against dθ dφ and density dσdΩ(θ)=b(θ)∣b′(θ)∣sin⁡θ=b(θ)sin⁡θ ∣θ′(b(θ))∣ against the solid-angle measure. For finitely many branches on disjoint incident intervals the measures add, including on overlapping image intervals; in particular contributions with pairwise disjoint images add.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable choice, the branch, its inverse, D,H,T,ν and the test function as stated.

[L2]

Compact substitution with absolute derivative holds on every closed interval lying strictly inside the branch; continuous functions there are Riemann integrable and their Riemann and Lebesgue integrals agree under countable choice (In one dimension the compact-Jordan formula is substitution over the unoriented image interval with the absolute derivative, A continuous function on [a,b] is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion, A bounded Riemann integrable function on a closed bounded interval is Lebesgue measurable and has the same integral).

[L3]

On Borel subsets of the plane λ2=λ1×λ1, and Tonelli applies to nonnegative Borel integrands. Measures agreeing on a generating pi-system with an increasing common finite-measure exhaustion agree everywhere (On Borel subsets of R^{m+n}, the product lambda_m times lambda_n agrees with lambda_{m+n}, Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product, Measures agreeing on a generating pi-system are equal under an increasing finite-measure exhaustion from that pi-system).

[L5]

sin⁡θ>0 on (0,π): the solid-angle definition proves this from sin⁡0=sin⁡π=0 and strict increase/decrease on the two half intervals; its continuous density is Borel measurable (Scattering data: the incident flux measure, the solid-angle element, deflection branches and the cross-section density).

1.1givenL1L4

By [L1], b is C1 and h(θ)=b(θ)∣b′(θ)∣ is continuous and positive. The map T is a homeomorphism D→H, so T∗ν is a Borel measure: preimages are Borel and preserve disjoint countable unions. The nonnegative density h defines another Borel measure η(B)=∫Bh dλ2 by [L4].

Let c<d lie in (θ1,θ2) and 0<p<q<2π. Apply compact substitution [L2] to the inverse map b on [c,d], with integrand x↦x: writing u=min⁡(b(c),b(d)), v=max⁡(b(c),b(d)), it gives ∫cdh(θ) dθ=∫uvx dx. Endpoints have Lebesgue measure zero, so Tonelli [L3] yields η((c,d)×(p,q))=(q−p)∫uvx dx=ν(T−1((c,d)×(p,q))). These quantities are finite.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1L3

Interior open rectangles, together with the empty set, form a pi-system generating the Borel sets of H: rational rectangles form a countable base, and every open set is the union of those base rectangles it contains. Choose explicit nested interior intervals exhausting each open coordinate interval; their product rectangles exhaust H and have the common finite measure of step 2.1. Thus measure uniqueness [L3] gives T∗ν=η on every Borel set of H, proving the asserted pushforward identity even for unbounded open branches.

4.1step 3.1L3L4algebra

The test-function identity first holds for indicator functions by step 3.1 and the definition of pushforward, then for nonnegative simple functions by finite addition, and finally for every nonnegative Borel g by increasing simple approximation and monotone convergence [L4] on both sides. Apply this to ∣g∣ to obtain equivalence of absolute integrability; applying it to the positive and negative parts gives the real identity whenever that absolute integral is finite. Tonelli [L3] supplies the nonnegative iterated form.

Since sin⁡θ>0 by [L5], rewriting h dλ2=(h/sin⁡θ) dΩ gives the solid-angle density; [L1] gives its reciprocal-derivative expression. Pushforward commutes with finite addition of measures by its definition, so branches on disjoint incident intervals contribute the sum of these measures, and the sum of the densities wherever their images overlap. This proves all assertions.
