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.
Every holomorphic function on a star-shaped domain has a primitive
Statement
Let be open and star-shaped with respect to . Every holomorphic function has the primitive
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A set open for and star-shaped with respect to , meaning that is open and star-shaped at in Star-shaped open subsets of Euclidean space. This is equivalent to containment of every segment from to a point of , by The complex coordinate isometry transports topology and affine segments. We have and a holomorphic .
A holomorphic function is continuous (Complex differentiability at a point implies continuity there).
Goursat's theorem makes the integral of a holomorphic function around every filled triangle in its domain zero (Goursat's triangle theorem: a holomorphic function integrates to zero around every triangle contained in its domain).
Vanishing triangle integrals construct the displayed primitive for a continuous function on a star-shaped domain (Vanishing integrals around triangles construct a primitive for a continuous function on a star-shaped domain).
Proof
By [L1], is continuous, and by [L2] its integral around every filled triangle contained in is zero.
The hypotheses of [L3] now hold, so the displayed function is holomorphic on and has derivative .
