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.
Nonzero pure-point equilibrium covariance is not integrable
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice and the trace-class Gibbs hypotheses of Trace-Gibbs bounded correlation measure and balance for a self-adjoint Hamiltonian in J with a complete discrete energy basis and faithful Gibbs density at in J. Let be in J s, in s, and let be a nonzero bounded observable with . Define Then neither nor belongs to . In particular, the ordinary absolutely convergent isolated-system correlation integral used in a dc Green–Kubo formula does not exist under these hypotheses. This claim concerns discrete-spectrum trace-Gibbs dynamics only; it asserts no failure of temporal decay or transport limits in an infinite-volume or open-system model.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, a faithful trace-class Gibbs state with a complete energy eigenbasis, a nonzero bounded self-adjoint centered , and .
The Axiom of Choice: full Choice is assumed by the unbounded self-adjoint spectral theorem and trace-Gibbs supplier.
Trace-Gibbs bounded correlation measure and balance: for the Gibbs energy basis, has an absolutely summable atomic expansion with nonnegative weights , whose total is ; is faithful.
Dominated convergence: on any measure space, pointwise convergence under an integrable majorant permits passage of limits through integrals.
Proof
Given: [A1], [F1], [F2], and the centered nonzero observable in the Statement.
Group the nonnegative coefficients in [F1] by equal frequency, writing with and . This sum is strictly positive: in the complete energy basis, , every , and prevents all from vanishing. It is bounded by because each and .
Absolute summability gives and allows termwise integration of . For each pair, tends to if and otherwise, and its modulus is at most . Apply [F2] to the countable pair set with summable majorant ; then If , the left side is at most , because step 1.1 gives . This contradiction proves .
The real part has grouped nonnegative weights , with absent frequencies assigned weight zero. They satisfy and . Repeating step 2.1 with gives . If , then this average is at most , again a contradiction.
