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.
Every holomorphic function on a homologically simply connected domain has a primitive
Statement
Let be a homologically simply connected complex domain (Homologically simply connected complex domains). Then every holomorphic has a primitive on (A primitive of a complex function on an open set): there is a holomorphic with .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A homologically simply connected complex domain and a holomorphic .
If is a cycle with trace in an open , null-homologous in , and is holomorphic on , then (Cauchy's theorem for a null-homologous cycle).
A complex domain is homologically simply connected when every cycle with trace in it is null-homologous in it (Homologically simply connected complex domains, Null-homologous cycles and homologous cycles in an open set).
A list of closed complex contours is a cycle; in particular a single closed contour, taken as the list of length with coefficient , is a cycle, and its trace is the trace of that contour (Complex chains, their traces, and cycles).
For a chain consisting of the single closed contour with coefficient , (Integration over a complex chain and the index of a chain).
For a complex domain and a continuous , the following are equivalent: has a primitive on ; the integral of along rectifiable contours in depends only on the endpoints; the integral of around every closed rectifiable contour in is (For a continuous function on a complex domain, endpoint independence, zero closed-contour integrals, and existence of a primitive are equivalent).
A complex differentiable function is continuous (Complex differentiability at a point implies continuity there).
A complex domain is a nonempty, connected, open subset of (A complex domain is a nonempty connected open subset of ).
Proof
Let be a closed rectifiable contour with trace in , and let be the chain consisting of with coefficient . By [L3] that chain is a cycle whose trace is .
By [L2] the cycle is null-homologous in , so [L1] gives , and [L4] rewrites this as .
The set is a complex domain by [L7] and is continuous on it by [L6], so [L5] applies; step 2.1 supplies its third condition for every closed rectifiable contour in , and the equivalence therefore yields a primitive of on .
