Topic: Bochners Theorem U(1)
Zachary Mullaghy (Feb 11 2026 at 16:14):
Hi everyone -
I have recently finished putting together a build for bochners theorem, fejer riesz, and a riesz representation theorem for U(1). I come from a bit of an unusual background in medical physics but im applying to math phds right now. I am planning to use this build in my own work and considering ive leveraged mathlib so heavily for my own work I thought it would be useful to ask if this work is desirable for the community..
Full disclosure, unfortunately as of now I work alone - i have a small company im starting but that being said I use ai heavily. I have checked these statements consistently but I dont want to pretend anything. It is what it is and im just thankful for a community. The github repo CI passes fully without sorry, admit, or axiom.
Please find the repo here: https://github.com/RoyGBivens137/Reusable
i am happy to improve it as necessary.
Best,
Zach

These proofs look very long and unidiomatic. Did you use AI to generate them?

Kevin, yes, he disclosed this

Zachary Mullaghy (Feb 11 2026 at 20:10):
The theory behind it is something I developed analytically from work in GL matrix based refinement. I used AI to help me write the proofs yes.

Sorry, I had misparsed the original message as meaning "I use AI in my day job".
Zachary Mullaghy (Feb 11 2026 at 20:17):
Quite alright. It’s important to ask
