Plain-English statement
Under the exact variance dissipation identity, Poincare coercivity is equivalent to shifted exponential variance decay.
Mathematical statement
V(s)≤CD(s) for every s iff V(s+t)≤V(s)exp(-2t/C) for every s and t≥0, assuming V'=-2D.
Intuition
The forward direction is Gronwall; the backward direction differentiates the decay estimate at each starting time.
Conditions
- C>0
- a continuous right-differentiable energy curve
- the exact derivative is minus twice the dissipation
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- the factor two fixes the source rate 2/C
- a concrete variance semigroup must separately provide this derivative identity
Proof route
- derive shifted decay from Poincare by one-sided Gronwall
- derive scaled coercivity from shifted decay by one-sided Fermat
- rescale by C/2
Lean interface notes
- this closes the scalar equivalence, not yet the full reversible-semigroup theorem
- the route remains Partial until the concrete variance curve and domain bridge are formalized
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.
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.
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.

- ParametersWhich symbols are arbitrary, and which structures are inferred by typeclass search?
- PropositionAfter the colon, translate the Lean expression back into a paper statement.

by, ask what each tactic does to the mathematical goal—not only what syntax it uses.

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.
