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.
Resonance poles in an analytic rank-one model

Every finite-order zero of in the lower half of such a disk gives a pole of the continued scalar element . These poles are not nonreal eigenvalues of the self-adjoint .

Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC and CC; the self-adjoint lower-semibounded , , real nonzero , and in the Statement; the specified test space and local continuations.
The rank-one resolvent theorem is used at its exact current interface: under AC, self-adjoint lower-semibounded , , real , , and on , it gives self-adjointness and the displayed resolvent identity when (Rank-one resolvent and bound-state equation). The complete current proof and hash-current Step 1 ready record were inspected; this use matches both exactly.
The continuation and pole terms have the precise matrix-element meaning of Continued resolvent matrix elements and resonance poles.
For the Gaussian model, , a disk centered at with , and the holomorphic branch on with , the explicit horizontal-contour formula supplies a holomorphic agreeing with on . These are the exact branch and disk hypotheses of Explicit Gaussian continuation of a free resolvent matrix element.
A self-adjoint has real spectrum; every nonreal is in its resolvent set (Resolvent of a self-adjoint operator: nonreal resolvents and the estimate).
The spectral PVM of acts by multiplication by , and its scalar measure for is (Spectral theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators (PVM form), Projection valued measure, Integral of a measurable function against a projection-valued measure).
Polar integration on gives , with finite unit-sphere measure (Polar coordinates decompose Lebesgue measure into r^{n-1} dr d sigma).
Since Lebesgue measure on is the completion of its Borel restriction, every Lebesgue-measurable function agrees almost everywhere with a Borel-measurable function; apply this to ( is exactly the completion of the restriction of to the Borel sets, A function measurable for a completion is almost everywhere equal to one measurable for the original sigma-algebra).
Proof
Given: [A1], [F1]–[F6], and the free matrix-element continuations in the Statement.
Fix with . Self-adjointness of puts in ; self-adjointness of in [A1] puts it in . Also : if , then , , and , contradicting . Thus [A1] applies on the upper half-plane.
Pairing the rank-one identity [A1] against and using the first-variable-linear convention gives . Each numerator term has the holomorphic continuation assumed in the Statement, so the right side defines the corresponding meromorphic continuation on .
By the finite-order zero hypothesis, near , where is holomorphic and . The product is holomorphic and nonzero at , so its quotient by has a pole of order exactly . The first term is holomorphic and cannot cancel that pole. Thus the continued matrix element has the asserted resonance pole. If , its residue is .
In the Gaussian model take exactly the positive center , disk excluding zero, and normalized holomorphic branch specified in [F2]. Its formula therefore supplies the assumed holomorphic continuation on this , not a continuation across the threshold zero or a differently signed sheet. Choose a Borel representative of by [F6]. The PVM formula [F4] and polar integration [F5] then give, for every , . The substitution gives . Thus for every Lebesgue-null , so any open meets the Statement's absolute-continuity condition. For , one has . At a zero of , . Hence the noncancellation condition of step 2.1 holds at every finite-order zero, proving the stated Gaussian specialization.
If a nonzero vector satisfied with , self-adjointness in [A1] would make real, but it equals , which is nonreal. This contradiction proves that the continued pole is not a nonreal eigenvalue.
