Let φ,h:S1→R2n\varphi,h:S^1\to\mathbb{R}^{2n}φ,h:S1→R2n be continuous, S1=R/ZS^1=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}S1=R/Z, and regard them as 111-periodic functions on R\mathbb{R}R. With Fourier coefficients g^k=∫S1e−2πiktg(t) dt∈C2n\hat g_k=\int_{S^1}e^{-2\pi i k t}g(t)\,dt\in\mathbb{C}^{2n}g^​k​=∫S1​e−2πiktg(t)dt∈C2n (Haar probability measure), the following are equivalent:

  1. t↦φ(t)t\mapsto\varphi(t)t↦φ(t) is differentiable at every t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R}t∈R with derivative h(t)h(t)h(t);
  2. h^k=2πik φ^k\hat h_k=2\pi i k\,\hat\varphi_kh^k​=2πikφ^​k​ for every k∈Zk\in\mathbb{Z}k∈Z.

This identifies classical derivatives of continuous loops with the Fourier-side derivative f^k↦2πik f^k\hat f_k\mapsto 2\pi i k\,\hat f_kf^​k​↦2πikf^​k​ that defines the asymptotic operator AS=−J0∂t−SA_S=-J_0\partial_t-SAS​=−J0​∂t​−S on W1,2(S1,R2n)W^{1,2}(S^1,\mathbb{R}^{2n})W1,2(S1,R2n), in both directions: continuous solutions of the Fourier-side equation are classical solutions, and classical periodic solutions satisfy it.

Formalization Note. φ h : C(UnitAddCircle, Vec n) with Vec n = EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin n ⊕ Fin n); condition 1 is ∀ x : ℝ, HasDerivAt (fun y : ℝ => φ ↑y) (h ↑x) x; condition 2 is ∀ k : ℤ, coeff h k = ((2 * π * k : ℝ) * I) • coeff φ k, with coeff the componentwise fourierCoeff of the complexification (setting module).

/-- For continuous loops `φ, h : S¹ → ℝ²ⁿ`, `h` is the classical derivative of `φ` (viewed as a
`1`-periodic function on `ℝ`) if and only if `ĥₖ = 2πik φ̂ₖ` for every `k ∈ ℤ`. -/

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
