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.
Integrability-qualified quantum variance Green–Kubo limit
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and the finite-matrix C-identity hypothesis used by Bounded C-star Dyson response for finite-range spin dynamics. Use its finite-range spin algebra , strongly continuous automorphism group , and invariant state obtained from consistent local densities. Let satisfy , and define If , then For a finite list of centered self-adjoint observables , if each symmetrized covariance is absolutely integrable on , then is a real positive semidefinite matrix. For a velocity observable measured in m s, has units m s; for general , its units are s. The result is a variance of a time-integrated observable, not a joint classical trajectory or a universal transport law.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice and the finite-matrix C-identity hypothesis of the finite-range group construction; the invariant state and group of the algebraic response theorem; centered self-adjoint observables; and absolute integrability of the stated covariance functions.
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): Countable Choice is the exact choice assumption for the local-algebra completion; no full Axiom of Choice is used.
Finite matrix C-star algebra and density-state duality: every finite local matrix algebra has its induced-norm C-identity.
Bounded C-star Dyson response for finite-range spin dynamics: under [A1], [F1], and the stated finite-range interaction assumptions, is a strongly continuous automorphism group on the quasi-local algebra and is an invariant bounded state.
Stationary-state covariance identity for time-integrated observables: for centered self-adjoint observables, the time-integrated symmetrized covariance equals the finite-time symmetrized variance and its matrix is positive semidefinite.
Dominated convergence: pointwise convergence under an integrable majorant permits passage of limits through Lebesgue integrals.
Proof
Given: [A1], [F1]–[F4], the centered observables, and the integrability hypotheses.
The algebraic group/state hypotheses follow from [A1], [F1], and the exact interaction and state assumptions carried by [F2]; applying the stationary covariance identity [F3] to the scalar observable gives Extend the integrand by zero for . For each fixed it converges to as , and its absolute value is at most , which is integrable by hypothesis. Applying [F4] on yields the limit .
For finite , by [F3], so . The limit in step 1.1 is therefore nonnegative.
For observables, [F3] gives the finite-time real symmetric covariance matrix with entries ; for every real vector , . Each entry converges to by the same dominated-convergence argument as step 1.1. For any , , so is positive semidefinite.
