Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: Notation sweep: the three families are now tuples, a in K^(n+m), a' in K^n and b in K^m, referencing def:finite-tuple-power-2026a, in place of maps from initial segments, with an explicit note that an (n+m)-tuple is a map from [n+m] to K so that the finite sums of def:finite-sum-field-2026b apply unchanged. The initial segments are still introduced because they are used in the statement. This is a change of presentation only; the identity is unchanged. · 1,004 chars · 6 deps · depth 7

Statement

Let KK be a field. Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with addition ++ and successor map SS as in that definition, and for a natural number pp let [p][p] be the initial segment determined by pp, that is, the set of natural numbers kk with 1kp1\le k\le p.

Let m,nNm,n\in\mathbb{N} and let aKn+ma\in K^{n+m} be an (n+m)(n+m)-tuple in KK, with components aka_{k}; by that definition aa is a map from [n+m][n+m] to KK. Then [n][n+m][n]\subseteq[n+m], and n+k[n+m]n+k\in[n+m] for every k[m]k\in[m], by claims 4 and 6 of Properties of the Order on the Natural Numbers. Let aKna'\in K^{n} be the restriction of aa to [n][n], and let bKmb\in K^{m} be the mm-tuple with components bk=an+kb_{k}=a_{n+k}.

All sums below are finite sums in a field. Then

k=1n+mak=(k=1nak)+k=1mbk.\sum_{k=1}^{n+m}a_{k}=\Bigl(\sum_{k=1}^{n}a'_{k}\Bigr)+\sum_{k=1}^{m}b_{k}.
