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 A be a complex vector space with a complex-bilinear multiplication A×A→A, written by juxtaposition; no associativity or multiplicative identity is required. Let ℓ:A→C and τt:A→A be complex-linear maps, where t is an arbitrary fixed label. For a real number γ>0, let γ denote its unique nonnegative real square root. Given F1,F2∈A, define Bj=−(γ)−1Fj for j=1,2. Then

ℓ(τt(B1)B2)=γ−1ℓ(τt(F1)F2).

In particular, for F∈A and B=−F/γ, one has ℓ(τt(B)B)=γ−1ℓ(τt(F)F). 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 γ, and the elements F1,F2 specified in the Statement.

[F1]

Scalar multiplication in a complex vector space is closed and satisfies a(bu)=(ab)u. Vector space over a field

[F2]

A complex-linear map preserves scalar multiplication and finite sums. Linear map between vector spaces over the same field

[F3]

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

[F4]

In a Dedekind-complete ordered field, every x≥0 has a unique r≥0 with r2=x. Nonnegative real square roots exist uniquely

[F5]

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

[F6]

The complex numbers are the field C=R[x]/(x2+1), with the constant-class embedding ι:R→C. This embedding is injective and preserves addition, multiplication and the identity. Real scalars in complex scalar actions are identified with their images under ι. 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.

1.1givenF1F4F5F6algebra

By [F5], the real field satisfies the hypotheses of [F4], so r=γ exists and satisfies r≥0 and r2=γ. Since γ>0, r=0 would imply γ=0, so r>0. In the real field a=−r−1 is therefore defined and a2=(r2)−1=γ−1. By [F6], ι(r)ι(r−1)=ι(1)=1 and ι(r)≠0, so the real inverse maps to the complex inverse. Preservation of addition and multiplication also gives ι(a)2=ι(γ−1). With the stated identification this is a2=γ−1 in C, and Bj=aFj belongs to A by [F1].

2.1F1F2F3step 1.1algebra

By [F2], τt(B1)=aτt(F1). Both this element and B2=aF2 lie in A. Applying [F3] separately in the two product arguments and composing the scalar actions by [F1] gives τt(B1)B2=a2τt(F1)F2=γ−1τt(F1)F2, an equality in A.

3.1F2step 2.1algebra∎

Apply ℓ to the equality in step 2.1 and use [F2] to obtain ℓ(τt(B1)B2)=γ−1ℓ(τt(F1)F2). Taking F1=F2=F gives the stated diagonal identity. The argument is algebraic for each fixed label t, so it involves neither limits nor any time-coordinate convention.
