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.
Relative variation of a cubic spectral jump factor
Statement
Let , , and . Let be a pointwise spectral representative satisfying for every . Define using the nonnegative square root. Then and, for every real with , .
For any fixed complex scalar , define on . If , then throughout . If , then and obeys the same bound. A consuming physical model may use its fixed dipole matrix element as ; no dipole operator is assumed here.
For the Lebesgue-measure assertions in this paragraph assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. An identity only almost everywhere on , with respect to Lebesgue measure, does not determine the value of a chosen representative at and does not imply the pointwise premise. Likewise, define an integrable regulator here to mean a measurable function with , used to form for and for . Integrability of alone implies neither throughout nor .
Facts & Assumptions
The spectral-kernel contract uses Lebesgue integration and pointwise positive spectral square roots, with integral regularity imposed separately. Stationary correlation spectra and ULE kernel regularity
Write for Lebesgue measure on and for its measurable sets. Under Countable Choice, is a sigma-algebra and is a complete measure on it. Lebesgue measurable sets, the family L(ℝⁿ), and the restricted set function λₙ Assuming countable choice, L(ℝⁿ) is a sigma-algebra containing every elementary set and λₙ is a complete measure extending elementary volume
Measurability of an extended-real-valued function is equivalent to measurability of every strict superlevel set. A property holds almost everywhere if its exceptions lie in a measurable null set. Nonnegative integrals are suprema of simple minorant integrals; a nonnegative real measurable function is integrable exactly when that integral is finite. Extended-real-valued measurable functions Measure-null sets and almost-everywhere statements relative to a measure The nonnegative Lebesgue integral Integrable real and complex functions, and their integrals
Under Countable Choice, every bounded interval with endpoints is Lebesgue measurable with measure , whatever its endpoint inclusions. In particular . This is the one-dimensional case of the box theorem, including degenerate boxes. A box in ℝⁿ with parameters aᵢ≤ bᵢ is Lebesgue measurable of measure ∏_i<n(bᵢ-aᵢ), whichever of its faces are included
For measurable , write for its indicator. It is a nonnegative simple measurable function; its simple integral is and agrees with its nonnegative Lebesgue integral. Nonnegative simple measurable functions The integral of a nonnegative simple function The nonnegative integral agrees with the simple integral on simple functions
On any measure space, the nonnegative integral is monotone and homogeneous for positive finite scalars. Monotonicity and nonnegative homogeneity of the nonnegative integral
If two integrable real or complex functions agree almost everywhere, their integrals over every measurable set agree. Two integrable functions are equal almost everywhere exactly when all of their indefinite integrals agree
Assume Countable Choice for the Lebesgue-measure qualifications and counterexamples, as required by [F2] and [F4]. It asserts that for every sequence of nonempty sets there is a function choosing one member of each set. No choice assumption is used in the pointwise cubic bound or scalar cancellation. The Axiom of Countable Choice (AC_ω)
Proof
Given: The parameters, pointwise cubic law, scalar coefficient and regulator convention in the Statement; Countable Choice for the Lebesgue-measure qualifications only. Goal: Prove the variation bound and zero preservation, and show why almost-everywhere data or regulator integrability alone do not supply the pointwise premise.
Put . The frequency stays positive because , and . Dividing positive square roots gives . Rationalizing gives .
For the weaker almost-everywhere premise, use [A1] and let equal on and zero off . Let equal except that . For a negative threshold both strict superlevel sets are . For a nonnegative threshold the superlevel set of is a bounded interval or empty, because the cubic is strictly increasing on the positive interval ; the superlevel set of is obtained by removing at most . Thus [F2]–[F4] establish measurability of both functions. Put . Since , [F4]–[F6] give for , so both functions are integrable by [F3]. Their exceptional set is contained in the measurable null singleton by [F4], so they agree almost everywhere by [F3]. Consequently [F7] gives identical integrals over every Lebesgue measurable set. Yet is cubic almost everywhere on and . This also covers , when and both integrals vanish. Integral data therefore cannot determine the differing reference values.
The denominator is at least one, and . Taking absolute values proves the claimed bound. If , the defining product vanishes at every point. If , positivity of gives , and cancellation gives .
For the regulator claim, use [A1] and take . The interval is measurable by [F4], and [F5] makes a nonnegative measurable function with . Thus it is an integrable regulator by [F3]. Since , we have . The defined regulated spectrum therefore satisfies , disproving both proposed implications from regulator integrability alone. These counterexamples concern only the weaker data, not the pointwise hypothesis used for the bound.
