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.

Statement
Assume countable choice. For every fixed and every sequence with eventually, a graph drawn from is globally synchronizing with probability tending to one as .
Facts & Assumptions
The model and global-synchrony meaning are Erdős–Rényi random graph and high probability and Globally synchronizing graph — Definition 1.1. Countable choice is The Axiom of Countable Choice (AC_ω).
The expander predicate and its centered-matrix conventions are Two-sided spectral expander — Definition 1.9. The positive-reference spectral criterion General two-sided spectral criterion — Theorem 1.10 applies when , , and its displayed numerical expression is below one.
Uniform expansion with , , fixed and fixed is Uniform two-sided expansion sufficient for global synchrony. The numerical limit is Vanishing numerical condition for fixed positive Laplacian margins.
The integral logarithm is unbounded above (The integral logarithm is unbounded above and below) and strictly increasing on (The integral logarithm is continuous and strictly increasing on (0,∞)), and for every (The integral logarithm L is the published natural logarithm).
Proof
Given: A fixed , an admissible sequence , and countable choice.
Goal: Prove that the synchronization probability tends to one.
Set and . The uniform expansion result [F3] supplies fixed , and , with an expander event of probability at least . For every , [F4] supplies with ; every positive integer then satisfies . Hence , so and eventually. Thus the expander event has probability tending to one along this arbitrary sequence.
Apply the numerical-limit lemma in [F3] to these fixed . Eventually and the spectral criterion's numerical expression is strictly below one. All hypotheses of [F2], including positive reference degree, now hold on the expander event.
By [F2], every graph in that event is globally synchronizing under the assumed countable choice. The synchronization probability is therefore at least the probability in step 1.1, which tends to one. This proves the complete fixed- statement, including varying density and .
Source notes
The theorem statement is attributed to the original article, Theorem 1.2 on PDF p. 4. Its proof on p. 8 applies Theorem 1.10 after the constant-two estimate in Corollary 6.1. The local proof preserves that deterministic reduction and uses the declared uniform-expansion helpers, whose centered-adjacency input is based on an independent Bandeira–van Handel (2016) norm estimate. It needs only a vanishing relative adjacency error. The local argument establishes the synchronization conclusion separately from the article's constant-two estimate.
