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.

where is the two-factor Euclidean product unitary of Euclidean L² product unitary: L²(R^a)⊗̂L²(R^b) ≅ L²(R^{a+b}), and is the bounded tensor map of Bounded tensor maps: extension, norm estimate, adjoint and commutation. Thus is a specified unitary, with almost everywhere. For , set and recursively ; define .
Let list the multi-indices by increasing total degree and, within each finite level, in lexicographic order. By For the number of weak compositions of into parts is , and the number of compositions is for each level is finite and the levels exhaust , so this specifies a bijection. All sums indexed by below are taken in this order; nonnegative sums equivalently mean the supremum of finite subsums.
The functions 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:

Proof
[(a) product basis] For , is the identity and the claim is the one-dimensional Hermite basis theorem. Inductively, the product-basis conclusion of [F2] applied to and makes , indexed only by the first coordinates, a complete orthonormal family in ; the unitary transports it to the product family in . Thus is complete orthonormal. Applying [F3] gives the stated expansion and Parseval identity.
[(b) dimensionless operator] By [F5] each level is finite and the levels exhaust . Order each level lexicographically and concatenate these finite lists in increasing ; this gives a bijection . Apply [F3] to and : the resulting operator is self-adjoint with the stated domain and , and its spectrum is the closure of , 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 is a core. This is (b), except the differential expression, proved in the next step.
[(b) differential expression] Each one-dimensional Hermite class has its unique polynomial-Gaussian smooth representative by Hermite recurrence, and the recursive product maps represent almost everywhere by the smooth product . Thus its coordinate derivatives are defined pointwise. For each , and multiplication by act only on the -th factor: for one has by [F1]. Summing over gives ; both sides are linear, so the identity extends to the span, which is the core of step 1.2.
[(c) anisotropic operator] By induction and [F6], every is unitary; hence is a composition of unitaries. The identity of the two-factor maps on elementary tensors gives , so is a complete orthonormal family by step 1.1 and unitarity. Apply [F3] to and : is self-adjoint with the displayed domain and spectrum, , and the span of the is a core. Each has the smooth product representative because the Hermite functions are polynomial-Gaussian and the one-dimensional scaling is explicit. Differentiating this product in coordinate and applying the one-dimensional identity [F4] to its -th factor gives . Summing over gives , and linearity extends the identity to the core.
[(d) isotropic multiplicities] Set . Then with , so , a closed discrete set; by step 2.2 the spectrum is its closure, which is itself. Since is an orthonormal family and , the eigenspace for contains the span of all with ; conversely, any element of orthogonal to that span has all its nonzero coefficients on with , so by the diagonal form of [F3] it lies in only if those coefficients vanish. Hence the multiplicity is the number of with , which is by [F5]; for this reads .
