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.

Fourier transform acts continuously on Schwartz space

Statement

Assume countable choice. The negative-sign, 2π-normalized Fourier transform is continuous F:S→S, and F(∂αf)(ξ)=(2πiξ)αf^(ξ),∂βf^=F((−2πix)βf).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)) for the integral and integration-by-parts interfaces. Euler's formula and the sine/cosine derivatives give the derivative of eit (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, exp⁡(x+iy)=ex(cos⁡y+isin⁡y), ∣exp⁡(x+iy)∣=ex, and eiπ+1=0).

[F1]

Polynomial multiplication and differentiation are continuous on Schwartz space (Basic operations are continuous on Schwartz space).

[F2]

Every weighted Schwartz derivative is integrable with a finite-seminorm norm bound (Schwartz derivatives are integrable).

[F3]

The integral Fourier transform is bounded continuous with supremum at most its input norm (The L1 transform is bounded and uniformly continuous).

[F4]

Dominated convergence applies (Dominated convergence).

[F5]

Absolute integrability permits Fubini (Fubini's theorem for L^1 functions on a sigma-finite product).

[F6]

Whole-line complex integration by parts holds when both derivative products are integrable and the endpoint products vanish (Complex integration by parts on intervals and decaying lines).

The interval FTC for eit gives ∣eit−1∣≤∣t∣. Thus the difference quotient in frequency coordinate j is dominated in absolute value by 2π∣xjf(x)∣, integrable by [F2]. By [F4] its limit is F(−2πixjf). The convergence for arbitrary real increments follows either directly from the dominated estimate by truncating the majorant to a finite box and using uniform convergence there, or by the sequential criterion under the stated countable choice. The derivative is continuous by [F3]. Repeating for each weighted function, which remains Schwartz by [F1], proves all ordered derivatives and the second formula.

Fix the other coordinates and integrate in coordinate j. For u=f restricted to this line and v=e−2πix⋅ξ, both u′v and uv′ are integrable on the line: multiply u,u′ by 1+xj2 and use their bounded Schwartz seminorms. Also uv→0 at both ends, since xju is bounded. [F6] therefore gives the derivative identity in that coordinate. Integrating over the other coordinates is legitimate by [F2] and [F5], since the full integrals of ∣∂jf∣ and ∣f∣ are finite. Iteration using [F1] proves the first formula, including zero components of ξ without division by them.

Combine the two identities to obtain ξα∂βf^=(2πi)−∣α∣F(∂α((−2πix)βf)). By [F3], its supremum is at most (2π)−∣α∣∥∂α((−2πix)βf)∥1. By [F2] and the explicit operation bounds in [F1], this is a finite linear combination of input Schwartz seminorms. Thus every output seminorm is finite, and the finite-neighbourhood definition proves continuity.
