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.
Dominated exponential normalization and covariance
Statement
Let be a sigma-finite measure space, let be measurable with , let and let be measurable and finite, and let be open. For each compact , assume an integrable satisfies Then is finite, strictly positive and , and the probability density defines as in The measure with density relative to . For any integrable real , write ; for square-integrable real , define . These extend the phase-space conventions of Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations to the present measure space. Then In particular, the Hessian of is positive semidefinite.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The measurable model above and one common integrable envelope on each compact parameter neighborhood.
For every compact , the stated is integrable and dominates the zeroth, first and second exponential moments.
Dominated convergence passes pointwise limits through an integral when the functions have a common integrable majorant (Dominated convergence).
The real exponential is differentiable with derivative itself; the chain rule and mean-value theorem apply to its parameterized composition (The real exponential function and the number by a power series, The exponential function is smooth and , The chain rule for total derivatives: , The mean value theorem, as the case of Cauchy's: for continuous on with and differentiable on there is with ).
The exponential is positive, and the natural logarithm is defined on positive values with derivative (The exponential is positive and satisfies , The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, The natural logarithm has derivative 1/x and equals the integral from 1 to x of 1/t).
The measure with density is defined on an arbitrary measure space (The measure with density relative to ). Integration against it equals integration of the density-weighted nonnegative function (Integrating against a density agrees with integrating the product); applying this to positive and negative parts gives the same identity for integrable real functions. Expectations and covariances here have the explicit integral definitions in the Statement, agreeing with Statistical states, densities, observables and expectations when the reference is a phase-reference space.
Proof
Given: [A1] and the integration, exponential and state interfaces [F1]–[F4].
For each fixed , choose a compact neighborhood of . The bound in [A1] implies . On the integrand is strictly positive by [F3]; since this set is the countable union of the sets , at least one has positive measure. Hence as well as finite.
For coordinate , choose a compact neighborhood of containing every with . The mean-value theorem and chain rule [F2] bound the difference quotient by . Since , [A1] bounds this entire supremum pointwise by the single integrable . Thus [F1] gives . Applying the same argument to the first derivative, with , gives . The same local envelopes and [F1] give continuity of these derivatives, hence .
By [F3], dividing the first-derivative formula by gives . Differentiating once more yields The envelope makes finite; and give finite means and mixed moments. Expanding the centered product in the Statement's covariance definition, and using , identifies the displayed difference with that covariance. For its quadratic form is , proving positive semidefiniteness.
