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.
A scalar normalization survives a two-point functional
Statement
Let be a complex vector space with a complex-bilinear multiplication , written by juxtaposition; no associativity or multiplicative identity is required. Let and be complex-linear maps, where is an arbitrary fixed label. For a real number , let denote its unique nonnegative real square root. Given , define for . Then
In particular, for and , one has . These identities require no limiting operation or convention for the time coordinate.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The complex vector space and its bilinear product, the two complex-linear maps, the positive real number , and the elements specified in the Statement.
Scalar multiplication in a complex vector space is closed and satisfies . Vector space over a field
A complex-linear map preserves scalar multiplication and finite sums. Linear map between vector spaces over the same field
A complex-bilinear product is complex-linear in each argument separately. Balanced maps from a right module and a left module, and bilinear maps over a commutative ring
In a Dedekind-complete ordered field, every has a unique with . Nonnegative real square roots exist uniquely
The real numbers in their Cauchy-sequence realization form a complete ordered field: every nonempty bounded-above subset has a least upper bound. Thus they satisfy the Dedekind-complete ordered-field hypotheses of [F4]. The Cauchy-sequence reals have the least-upper-bound property Dedekind-complete ordered real field
The complex numbers are the field , with the constant-class embedding . This embedding is injective and preserves addition, multiplication and the identity. Real scalars in complex scalar actions are identified with their images under . The complex numbers as ℝ[x]/(x²+1), with the real embedding and imaginary unit i ℂ=ℝ[x]/(x²+1) is a field, every element is uniquely a+bi, and every nonzero element has inverse (a-bi)/(a²+b²)
Proof
Goal: Prove the two-component identity and its equal-component specialization.
By [F5], the real field satisfies the hypotheses of [F4], so exists and satisfies and . Since , would imply , so . In the real field is therefore defined and . By [F6], and , so the real inverse maps to the complex inverse. Preservation of addition and multiplication also gives . With the stated identification this is in , and belongs to by [F1].
By [F2], . Both this element and lie in . Applying [F3] separately in the two product arguments and composing the scalar actions by [F1] gives , an equality in .
Apply to the equality in step 2.1 and use [F2] to obtain . Taking gives the stated diagonal identity. The argument is algebraic for each fixed label , so it involves neither limits nor any time-coordinate convention.
