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.
Coexistence implies an Ising pressure cusp
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and fix and with . For , define the free-boundary field-dependent energy and partition function by The bounded finite-range pressure theorem gives the finite limit for each . Here is the field energy per spin, while below denotes Shannon entropy per site. The dimensionless pressure is not differentiable at . More precisely, if the stationary DLR states at zero field have magnetizations at least and at most , then every positive-field secant slope from zero is at least and every negative-field secant slope is at most . This proves a sufficient coexistence cusp; it does not identify the critical coupling.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite-range two-dimensional Ising model, , and Countable Choice.
Countable Choice is retained for the DLR and stationary-state construction (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
At there are stationary DLR states with one-site magnetizations at least and at most (Two-dimensional Ising Gibbs coexistence at low temperature).
For each fixed field , every stationary law satisfies ; a DLR law attains equality. Here denotes the entropy density of DLR states attain the bounded lattice pressure variational principle, and is its mean energy density with the field contribution included.
Proof
Under Countable Choice [A1], let and be the states in [F1], and let . At zero field, [F2] gives .
For , the energy per site of the same stationary law is . Applying the variational inequality [F2] to yields .
For with magnetization at most , the same inequality gives . If , divide by to get . For , step 2.1 gives the slope at least . The one-sided secant slopes are separated, so no derivative at zero exists.
