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.

PDF p. 13: Eq. (S3.14)
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice, Countable Choice and Dependent Choice, and all hypotheses and normalization conventions of Isotropic thermal bath time correlator. In particular, , is Borel, and . Put and .
Use the positive-exponential spectral convention of Bath correlation matrix and Fourier convention, extended distributionally as follows: for a Schwartz test function on , pair the spectrum with by . A Schwartz function is a smooth function whose derivatives, multiplied by arbitrary powers of its argument, are bounded. Then this spectrum is the finite measure
Here is unit point mass at . Its Lebesgue density may be represented, for , by
where a term is evaluated only when its Heaviside factor is one and for , for . The value at zero is arbitrary. This representative describes the measure almost everywhere; no pointwise Fourier-integral identity or value at zero is asserted without further regularity. The correlation need not be integrable in time.

Proof
Goal: Establish the distributional frequency-sign formula and its almost-everywhere density, with the stated normalization.
On put and . These are nonnegative Borel functions with , so each is integrable. Define for , for , and . The reflection , , is a diffeomorphism with . Apply [F6] to on these open half-lines to obtain . Thus is nonnegative Borel and integrable, with integral . By [F5], is a finite measure. For any Borel , the function is Borel and bounded in absolute value by , hence is in . Applying the same reflection to gives . This is exactly the stated point-mass mixture, now with countable additivity supplied by [F5].
To establish the possible failure of time integrability, fix any and take the real Borel coupling for . Its denominator is strictly positive and finite at every positive frequency. Assign if a value at zero is wanted. Its thermal envelope is exactly , so and [F1] applies with the supplier's specified regulators and normalization (one may take and ). Write for this coupling. Taking real parts in the absolutely convergent frequency integral of [F1] and using [F7] gives for , by applying the Lebesgue fundamental theorem to on . At the same real part is . Thus for .
Let be a Schwartz test function and write . The first integral exists by [F3]. In the Fourier supplier's convention, and . The absolute-convergence assertion in [F3] implies . The map , , is a diffeomorphism with , so [F6] applied to gives . After inserting [F1] into the spectral pairing, the absolute value of its double integrand is bounded by . These are product-measurable functions on the sigma-finite Lebesgue spaces and . Tonelli in [F4] gives the bound on the product integral. Fubini in [F4] therefore permits interchange of time and positive frequency, and the stated pairing is finite.
Apply [F6] with the same real-line diffeomorphism to and to , each integrable because the exponential has modulus one. Fourier inversion [F3] then gives and . Thus the spectral pairing equals . Apply the half-line reflection in [F6] to , which is integrable since a Schwartz function is bounded, to identify this expression with . Hence the distributional spectrum is the finite measure constructed in step 1.1. The factor from inversion cancels the convention's ; the factor remains from [F1].
Expanding and in gives the displayed Heaviside density on the respective open half-lines, with each term evaluated only there. Its value at the Lebesgue-null singleton zero is immaterial; in particular . This proves the almost-everywhere density assertion while allowing any assigned value at zero.
For each integer , [F7] and [F8] give . Since on that interval, step 1.2 implies . If belonged to , then would be measurable with finite integral and [F5] would make a finite measure. The intervals can be made disjoint by omitting endpoints, which have zero Lebesgue integral. For every , summing over gives a lower bound . Finite additivity and monotonicity therefore bound the integral of over the first such disjoint blocks below by for every positive integer . Since , the full time integral is infinite. This proves the Statement's nonintegrability possibility without altering its distributional spectrum.

In the completed time-correlator supplier, the explicitly retained bath-operator normalization gives the additional factor ; the article-prefactor expression is therefore the spectrum of in that convention, and agrees with this item when . The article citation supplies attribution, not proof of this conditional calculation.
