laplacian_eq_sum_stdOrthonormalBasis

compiled Samplinglib leaf Not mapped explicit smoke test

- Mathlib's finite-dimensional standard-orthonormal-basis formula for the Laplacian, exposed as an ASTIS calculus leaf. For Ch.1 Langevin this is the coordinate bridge behind a supplied Laplacian identifier `lapF = ∑ᵢ ∂ᵢᵢ f`. It is not an integration-by-parts or invariant measure theorem.

Scope guard. This card records a compiled local declaration. Its mathematical scope is exactly the Lean statement below; the Registry note and source correspondence may describe motivation but do not strengthen it.
Lean learning studio · mathematics → formal proof

Read the mathematics first, then descend into Lean

You do not need to know Lean before opening this panel. The page keeps the paper-level theorem, rigorous proof obligations, exact Lean declaration, and proof dependencies as separate layers so a first-time reader can move down one layer at a time.

BeginnerWhy this theorem exists → intuition → statement → one hand calculation. Hide proof-engineering detail.
RigorousExpose assumptions, hidden measure/limit/domain issues, proof route, and rigorous references.
Lean learnerOpen the exact declaration, proof tree/network, syntax glossary, and line-by-line explanation.

Proof architecture

Start with the tree when learning: prerequisites sit below the theorem and downstream results sit above it. Switch to the network when you want to understand where this declaration lives in the local formal library. Every mapped node is clickable.

Loading source-derived dependency evidence…

Graph rule: only dependencies found by the ASTIS source scan are drawn. Missing tactic indirection is treated as an under-approximation; the site never invents an edge just to make a prettier graph.

How to read the exact Lean declaration

Read a Lean theorem left-to-right exactly as you would unpack a mathematical sentence: name → ambient types → automatically inferred structures → explicit hypotheses → conclusion → proof. Then read the proof top-to-bottom as transformations of the current goal.

  1. NameWhat reusable mathematical fact is being created?
  2. ParametersWhich symbols are arbitrary, and which structures are inferred by typeclass search?
  3. PropositionAfter the colon, translate the Lean expression back into a paper statement.
  4. Proof actionsAfter by, ask what each tactic does to the mathematical goal—not only what syntax it uses.

Syntax used on this page

This glossary is filtered to syntax that actually occurs in the declaration above. Open a symbol only when you meet it, rather than memorizing Lean grammar in advance.

Source voice and ASTIS voice stay separate

When Samplinglib shows a short quotation from Chewi, it is labeled as a source excerpt and linked to the canonical book page. Intuition, expanded proof steps, hidden regularity assumptions, and Lean explanations are ASTIS-authored commentary. A quotation never substitutes for a formal proof, and an ASTIS explanation is never attributed to the textbook author.

This is useful when a paper defines a weak-generator or test-function action by
the coordinate second-derivative sum and the local Lean proof needs to rewrite
that action as Mathlib's `Laplacian.laplacian`. -/

Lean proof walkthrough

  • Read the quantified variables and typeclass brackets as part of the mathematical statement; inferred arguments are not missing assumptions.
  • The declaration is definition-like or term-style; its typed right-hand side is the proof object.

Why the statement has this shape

The declaration is kept at the reusable level recorded by its Registry tags and direct consumers. Explicit measures, spaces, wrappers, and regularity hypotheses expose interfaces that paper notation often infers. A theorem card explains those interfaces but never widens the compiled statement.

Hidden assumptions and non-claims

  • Totalized `fderiv` values must not be read as a differentiability theorem.
  • A Gibbs expression is not automatically a probability law or an invariant law.
  • A formal generator display does not establish a closed operator domain.
Common pitfall. A wrapper or display identity is not a new analytic theorem merely because it has its own Lean name. Check the statement, hypotheses, and downstream consumers before interpreting its mathematical contribution.
