Plain-English statement
A Gibbs density with a finite, nonzero normalization constant defines a probability measure after reciprocal normalization.
Mathematical statement
If Z = integral exp(-V) dmu satisfies Z != 0 and Z != infinity, then mu.withDensity(Z^{-1} exp(-V)) has total mass one.
Intuition
This theorem isolates the normalization algebra from the harder analytic question of proving that the partition function is finite and nonzero.
Conditions
- The Gibbs lintegral is nonzero.
- The Gibbs lintegral is finite.
- The base measure and potential are exactly those used in the density.
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- If Z is zero, reciprocal normalization is invalid.
- If Z is infinite, ENNReal inversion collapses and cannot produce a probability law.
Proof route
- Apply the generic normalized-withDensity theorem.
- Instantiate its density with gibbsDensityENNReal.
- Keep coercivity and envelope proofs outside this leaf.
Lean interface notes
- IsProbabilityMeasure is a typeclass-valued proposition about total mass.
- The theorem is a reusable normalization wrapper, not an invariance theorem.
- lintegral values live in ENNReal, so zero and infinity are explicit side conditions.
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.
- 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.
