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.

Multidimensional oscillator completeness

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)) and let d≥1. For each j∈{1,…,d} put Kjy:=L2(R,dyj) and take a copy (gn(j))n∈N of the Hermite family of Hermite recurrence in Kjy. Define the left-associated completed tensor products by K1y:=K1y and Kry:=Kr−1y⊗^Kry for 2≤r≤d. Let Θy(1):K1y→L2(R,dy1) be the identity; recursively, for 2≤r≤d, let

Θy(r):=Θr−1,1y∘(Θy(r−1)⊗IKry):Kry⟶L2(Rr,dy),

where Θr−1,1y:L2(Rr−1,dy)⊗^Kry→L2(Rr,dy) is the two-factor Euclidean product unitary of Euclidean L² product unitary: L²(R^a)⊗̂L²(R^b) ≅ L²(R^{a+b}), and Θy(r−1)⊗IKry is the bounded tensor map of Bounded tensor maps: extension, norm estimate, adjoint and commutation. Thus Θy(r) is a specified unitary, with Θy(r)(u⊗v)(y′,yr)=Θy(r−1)u(y′)v(yr) almost everywhere. For N=(n1,…,nd)∈Nd, set GNy,1:=gn1(1) and recursively GNy,r:=GNy,r−1⊗gnr(r); define gN:=Θy(d)GNy,d∈L2(Rd,dy).

Let φ:N→Nd list the multi-indices by increasing total degree M=∑jnj and, within each finite level, in lexicographic order. By For m≥1 the number of weak compositions of n into m parts is (n+m−1m−1), and the number of compositions is (n−1m−1) for n≥1 each level is finite and the levels exhaust Nd, so this specifies a bijection. All sums indexed by Nd below are taken in this order; nonnegative sums equivalently mean the supremum of finite subsums.

The functions gN have smooth product representatives from the recursive construction. These representatives are unique: a continuous difference that is nonzero at a point remains nonzero on a ball of positive Lebesgue measure. The coordinate derivatives in (b) and (c) are taken on these representatives and their scaled products.

Then:

(a) (gN)N∈Nd is a complete orthonormal family of L2(Rd,dy): ⟨gN,gM⟩=δNM and every f∈L2(Rd,dy) has f=∑N∈Nd⟨f,gN⟩gN with ∥f∥2=∑N∈Nd∣⟨f,gN⟩∣2, the sum being the supremum over finite subfamilies (Orthonormal families, complete orthonormal systems and Hilbert bases, Parseval equivalences for an orthonormal family);

(b) with the eigenvalues λN:=∑j=1d(2nj+1)=2M+d, M:=∑jnj, let Ad be the diagonal operator of Diagonal adjoint and graph-core lemma for the enumerated family em:=gφ(m) and eigenvalue sequence λφ(m). Then Ad is self-adjoint with

AdgN=λNgN,D(Ad)={f:∑N∈NdλN2∣⟨f,gN⟩∣2<∞},σ(Ad)={2M+d:M∈N}

(the spectrum by Diagonal spectrum); the algebraic span of the gN is a core, and on that span

Ad=∑j=1d(−∂yj2+yj2)

as operators, the j-th summand acting in the j-th coordinate;

(c) for real mj,ωj,ℏ>0 put ℓj:=ℏ/(mjωj) and let Dj:Kjy→Kjx:=L2(R,dxj) be the one-dimensional unitary of Oscillator scaling and exact realization. Define K1x:=K1x and Krx:=Kr−1x⊗^Krx for 2≤r≤d, and define Θx(1) and Θx(r) by the same recursion as Θy(r), using the two-factor Euclidean product unitaries on the x-coordinate spaces. Let D1:=D1 and recursively Dr:=Dr−1⊗Dr:Kry→Krx; each Dr is unitary by Bounded tensor maps: extension, norm estimate, adjoint and commutation. Put Dd:=Θx(d)Dd(Θy(d))−1:L2(Rd,dy)→L2(Rd,dx). For N∈Nd, define GNx,1:=D1gn1(1)=:ψn1(1) and recursively GNx,r:=GNx,r−1⊗ψnr(r); then ψN:=DdgN=Θx(d)GNx,d. Let H be the diagonal operator of Diagonal adjoint and graph-core lemma for the enumerated family ψφ(m) and eigenvalue sequence Eφ(m), where EN:=ℏ∑j=1dωj(nj+12). Then H is self-adjoint with

HψN=ENψN,D(H)={f:∑NEN2∣⟨f,ψN⟩∣2<∞},σ(H)={EN:N∈Nd}‾,

the span of the ψN is a core, and on that core

H=∑j=1d(−ℏ22mj∂xj2+mjωj22xj2);

(d) if ω1=⋯=ωd=ω, then σ(H)={ℏω(M+d2):M∈N}, and the eigenvalue ℏω(M+d2) has multiplicity

∣{(n1,…,nd)∈Nd:n1+⋯+nd=M}∣=(M+d−1d−1);

in particular for d=3 the multiplicity is (M+1)(M+2)/2 (For m≥1 the number of weak compositions of n into m parts is (n+m−1m−1), and the number of compositions is (n−1m−1) for n≥1). All parameters are positive real numbers; no physical interpretation is asserted.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: the dimension d≥1; per-coordinate Hermite families (gn(j)); the recursively defined left-associated tensor products and product unitaries Θy(r),Θx(r); the eigenvalues λN=2M+d and EN=ℏ∑jωj(nj+12).

[F1]

Each (gn(j)) is a complete orthonormal family of L2(R,dyj) (Hermite completeness), and (−∂yj2+yj2)gn(j)=(2n+1)gn(j) (Hermite orthogonality(b)).

[F2]

If (ea)a∈A and (fb)b∈B are orthonormal families whose closed linear spans are H and K, then (κ(ea⊗fb)) is a complete orthonormal family of the completed tensor product; the two-factor Euclidean maps Θa,b are surjective linear isometries with Θa,b(u⊗v)(x,y)=u(x)v(y) a.e. (Hilbert tensor construction: inner product, completion and product bases(c),(d), Euclidean L² product unitary: L²(R^a)⊗̂L²(R^b) ≅ L²(R^{a+b})).

[F3]

The diagonal lemma and diagonal spectrum for a complete orthonormal family and real eigenvalues λN (Diagonal adjoint and graph-core lemma, Diagonal spectrum).

[F4]

The one-dimensional scaling operator Dj is a bijective isometry with Djgn(j)=ψn(j), and Hosc(j):=(ℏωj/2)DjAjDj−1 satisfies Hosc(j)ψn(j)=ℏωj(n+12)ψn(j) and Hosc(j)f=−ℏ22mjf′′+mjωj22x2f for f in the span of the ψn(j) (Oscillator scaling and exact realization).

[F5]

For each M∈N and d≥1 the number of weak compositions of M into d parts is (M+d−1d−1); in particular each level {N:∑jnj=M} is finite and ⋃M{N:∑jnj=M}=Nd (For m≥1 the number of weak compositions of n into m parts is (n+m−1m−1), and the number of compositions is (n−1m−1) for n≥1).

[F6]

If S and T are unitary maps between Hilbert spaces, then their bounded tensor map S⊗T is unitary on the completed tensor products (Bounded tensor maps: extension, norm estimate, adjoint and commutation).

Proof

1.1givenF1F2F3

[(a) product basis] For d=1, Θy(1) is the identity and the claim is the one-dimensional Hermite basis theorem. Inductively, the product-basis conclusion of [F2] applied to Kr−1y and Kry makes (GNy,r)(n1,…,nr)∈Nr, indexed only by the first r coordinates, a complete orthonormal family in Kry; the unitary Θy(r) transports it to the product family in L2(Rr,dy). Thus (gN) is complete orthonormal. Applying [F3] gives the stated expansion and Parseval identity.

1.2givenF3F5

[(b) dimensionless operator] By [F5] each level {N:∑jnj=M} is finite and the levels exhaust Nd. Order each level lexicographically and concatenate these finite lists in increasing M; this gives a bijection φ:N→Nd. Apply [F3] to em:=gφ(m) and λm:=λφ(m): the resulting operator Ad is self-adjoint with the stated domain and AdgN=λNgN, and its spectrum is the closure of {λN:N∈Nd}={2M+d:M∈N}, which is closed because it is a discrete set of reals and its only accumulation point would be +∞; by the diagonal lemma the algebraic span of the gN is a core. This is (b), except the differential expression, proved in the next step.

2.1step 1.2F1

[(b) differential expression] Each one-dimensional Hermite class has its unique polynomial-Gaussian smooth representative by Hermite recurrence, and the recursive product maps represent gN almost everywhere by the smooth product ∏jgnj(j)(yj). Thus its coordinate derivatives are defined pointwise. For each j, −∂yj2 and multiplication by yj2 act only on the j-th factor: for gN=∏jgnj(j) one has (−∂yj2+yj2)gN=((−∂yj2+yj2)gnj(j))∏k≠jgnk(k)=(2nj+1)gN by [F1]. Summing over j gives ∑j(−∂yj2+yj2)gN=λNgN=AdgN; both sides are linear, so the identity extends to the span, which is the core of step 1.2.

2.2step 1.1F3F4F6

[(c) anisotropic operator] By induction and [F6], every Dr=Dr−1⊗Dr is unitary; hence Dd=Θx(d)Dd(Θy(d))−1 is a composition of unitaries. The identity of the two-factor maps on elementary tensors gives ψN=DdgN=Θx(d)GNx,d, so (ψN) is a complete orthonormal family by step 1.1 and unitarity. Apply [F3] to (ψN) and EN: H is self-adjoint with the displayed domain and spectrum, HψN=ENψN, and the span of the ψN is a core. Each ψN has the smooth product representative ∏jψnj(j)(xj) because the Hermite functions are polynomial-Gaussian and the one-dimensional scaling is explicit. Differentiating this product in coordinate xj and applying the one-dimensional identity [F4] to its j-th factor gives (−ℏ22mj∂xj2+mjωj22xj2)ψN=ℏωj(nj+12)ψN. Summing over j gives ∑j(−ℏ22mj∂xj2+mjωj22xj2)ψN=ENψN=HψN, and linearity extends the identity to the core.

[(d) isotropic multiplicities] Set ωj=ω. Then EN=ℏω(M+d2) with M=∑jnj, so {EN}={ℏω(M+d2):M∈N}, a closed discrete set; by step 2.2 the spectrum is its closure, which is itself. Since (ψN) is an orthonormal family and HψN=ENψN, the eigenspace for ℏω(M+d2) contains the span of all ψN with ∑jnj=M; conversely, any element of D(H) orthogonal to that span has all its nonzero coefficients on ψN with ∑jnj≠M, so by the diagonal form Hf=∑NEN⟨f,ψN⟩ψN of [F3] it lies in ker⁡(H−ℏω(M+d2)I) only if those coefficients vanish. Hence the multiplicity is the number of N∈Nd with ∑jnj=M, which is (M+d−1d−1) by [F5]; for d=3 this reads (M+22)=(M+1)(M+2)/2.
