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.
Driven oscillator common domain
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). Let , let , let be the oscillator of Oscillator scaling and exact realization with orthonormal eigenbasis and ladder operators of Closed ladder domains transported to . Work with , linear in its first argument, and define by the coefficient action on , where . Use the negative-sign Fourier convention on integrable inputs and its Plancherel extension . Let , be the maximal position and momentum operators (their self-adjointness is proved below), with and , with and the couplings on the common domain . Let be of class . Put with graph norm . Then:
(a) Ladder bounds. For every ,
(b) Infinitesimal bound. For every there is with for ; hence is -bounded with relative bound for every fixed (Relative boundedness with respect to an operator).
(c) Common domain. For every the operator is self-adjoint on the single domain (independent of ); moreover belongs to with derivative , so the family has a common domain and satisfies the regularity hypothesis of Common-domain nonautonomous evolution.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: CC; , ; the scaled Hermite basis and its diagonal oscillator ; ; with its stated graph norm. Write .
Oscillator scaling and exact realization assumes CC and supplies the exact diagonal domain , self-adjointness of , its closedness and graph-core finite sums. This is also , with ; the equality follows directly from the displayed coefficient actions. Complex is complete under CC by Complex completeness, density, and inner product: the consumer interface, so its graph domain is a Hilbert space because its graph is closed in .
Closed ladder domains supplies the exact shifted coefficient actions under CC. Define directly by on , where . For this domain, and . Finite coefficient truncations converge in both ladder graph norms.
Hermite recurrence gives and . Scaling by the actual gives the finite-basis formulas for and used below. Plancherel theorem and Distributional derivatives are polynomial Fourier multipliers assume CC and identify via its exact Fourier multiplier. Every and its derivative belong to .
The adjoint-domain definition Adjoint of a densely defined operator and closedness of adjoints The adjoint is well defined, closed, and reverses inclusions are CC interfaces. A vector belongs to precisely when there is with for all ; the inner product is linear in its first argument. Cauchy–Schwarz: , with equality exactly for linearly dependent vectors bounds all Hilbert pairings. Dominated convergence justifies the explicit multiplier truncations below. No Kato-Rellich theorem or general AC spectral supplier is used.
Proof
[Concrete maximal multipliers are self-adjoint under CC] For any real measurable finite-valued on , define on . For , belongs to this domain and converges to by dominated convergence against , so the domain is dense. The real multiplier gives symmetry. If and , test the adjoint identity against every supported on ; each such is in , and . Taking gives a.e. on . Their union is all , so , whence and . The converse follows by symmetry, proving self-adjointness and thus closedness by [F4]. Apply this to and . Writing and , the adjoint identity for tested on , , says exactly when , and then . Thus and are self-adjoint and closed on exactly their maximal displayed domains. This reconstructs the needed concrete operators without invoking the AC-bearing general composite carrier.
[Actual diagonal nonreal inverses] For and define The real positive diagonal values give and . Hence the series converges, , and . Direct coefficient multiplication verifies on and on . In particular is bounded for the fixed graph norm, with . These are concrete countable diagonal formulas, without a spectral theorem.
[The complete common half-number domain] By [F3], for every finite expansion the coupling identities in the Statement hold. Let and . By [F2], and both ladder images converge to their stated series. Thus and converge to the respective ladder combinations. Closedness from step 1.1 places in both and and gives the coupling identities on all . For and , the triangle inequality and give Taking nonnegative square roots proves the corrected full-domain (a). No assumption restricts to coherent states or finite expansions.
[Explicit infinitesimal relative bound] For , coefficient Cauchy-Schwarz gives . The diagonal formula gives because coefficientwise. Set and . Step 2.1 implies . For any , the nonnegative square gives . Given the Statement's , take to obtain Multiplication by the fixed finite real number makes the relative -bound of zero; when the perturbation vanishes. This proves all of (b).
[Two uniform Neumann inverses on the original domain] Set , , and choose . For restricted to , step 3.1 gives uniformly in . Therefore is a bounded operator on with norm at most for both , by step 1.2. Its Neumann series converges in operator norm, since the tail norm is bounded by the geometric tail ; completeness of follows from pointwise norm limits and the uniform bound. Multiplying finite partial sums and taking their norm limit gives . On the exact factorization is . Consequently is its two-sided inverse, including for every . Thus both are onto and injective on the original domain; no larger domain is introduced by the inverse construction.
[Exact adjoint domain] Since is real and , steps 1.1 and [F1] imply that on the dense domain is symmetric. Hence and the adjoint agrees with there. Let and put . Step 4.1 supplies with . Then lies in and . For every , the first-variable-linear adjoint convention gives , since makes the first term . The range of is all by step 4.1, so is orthogonal to all of and . Thus and . The reverse inclusion was already shown, proving exact self-adjointness with for every . This supplies the missing conclusion directly under CC.
[Common graph regularity] Step 3.1 with shows , so is bounded; also is bounded with norm at most one. Therefore and . For interior , and with the corresponding one-sided endpoint limits, Continuity of makes the derivative norm-continuous, proving . The fixed graph space is dense and Hilbert by [F1]. If needed, step 4.1's bound also gives uniformly equivalent moving graph norms: and . Thus all common-domain and regularity hypotheses claimed in (c), including those of Common-domain nonautonomous evolution after an affine change of the time interval, are met. No propagator formula or extra Weyl-domain hypothesis is assumed.
[Conclusion] Step 2.1 proves the corrected (a), step 3.1 proves (b), and steps 5.1 and 6.1 prove the entire common-domain and norm- assertion (c) on .
