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.
Coherent-state convergence
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). Let with inner product linear in the first argument, let be the Hermite family of Hermite recurrence, and let be the closed ladder operators and number operator of Closed ladder domains with domains and on . For put
the series being taken in . Then:
(a) the series converges in , , and is the unique element of with coefficients in the basis ;
(b) for every , where is the -fold iterate of with domain ; in particular
(c) (so is a unit eigenvector of the annihilation operator with eigenvalue ), and ;
(d) for all , so and the map is injective;
(e) and , and .
The completeness of (Hermite completeness) is used for uniqueness from the prescribed coefficients in (a) and to invoke the closed ladder operators of Closed ladder domains on a complete orthonormal family. Series convergence and normalization use orthonormality and Hilbert-space completeness; the operator and moment conclusions use the supplied closed ladder domains.

(Hermite orthogonality(a)), and is a complex Hilbert space under Countable Choice ( with the integral pairing is a Hilbert space). Finite orthogonal sums satisfy . Thus a series converges exactly when : finite tail norms give the Cauchy criterion and Hilbert-space completeness gives the limit; conversely convergence bounds the partial norms. Continuity of the norm and inner product gives the sum's squared norm and its coefficients.

The Hermite family is complete: any with for every is zero (Hermite completeness(b)).
Proof
[Convergence and normalization] For , the partial sums satisfy by [F1]. As the right side tends to because by [F3]; hence is Cauchy and exists, and taking limits in the same identity gives . For fixed , inner-product continuity gives . If has these same coefficients, then for every , so by completeness [F6].
[Number domains] For use , and , including ; step 1.1 proves the assertion. Now fix and let . If , , which lies in every and all terms with vanish. If , for , , so there is with for ; by [F4], , and the finitely many initial terms are finite. Hence . Since (inducting the domain formula of Closed ladder domains(a): has coefficients , and the weight dominates every lower weight for ), this says .
[] Each partial sum is a finite combination of the , so ; by [F5], . As , and by step 1.1; since is closed [F2], and . Taking norms, by (a).
[Inner products] For , by [F1] applied to the two convergent series, and by [F3] applied to the series of the complex number ; hence . Its modulus is . Then . When the overlap modulus is strictly less than , so this distance is positive; when it is zero; the map is injective.
[Number and creation moments] By step 2.1 with , and has coefficients ; hence . The series reindexes as by [F3], so the value is . Next, using [F2] and . Finally since all coefficients with vanish and .
