Under the usual regularity conditions, consistency and asymptotic normality of a maximum likelihood estimator give
where is the one-observation Fisher information matrix. In a scalar model this reads .
Use the convention , so when . Conditional on , the last jump is the largest of independent uniform points on . The stated order statistic formula gives
and hence, for every ,
Putting and averaging over ,
This agrees with age of a Poisson process.
Condition on . By Poisson process conditional arrival times, the jump times are the ordered version of independent uniformly distributed on . The sum is symmetric in the marked pairs, and the marks are independent, so
Write the bracket as . Averaging over the Poisson distribution of gives
This is the exponential formula for a marked Poisson sum.
For , the probability of one jump in each infinitesimal interval around and no other jump by time gives the joint density
for together with the event . Since
the conditional density is
on that ordered simplex.
Now independent uniform points on have joint density on the cube. Each ordered vector has permutations, so their order statistics have density on the same simplex. The densities agree, proving Poisson process conditional arrival times.
Superpose the two independent Poisson processes. The combined process has rate , and each arrival is independently a Number 1 bus with probability and a Number 8 bus with probability . Therefore the number of Number 8 buses before the first Number 1 has the geometric distribution on , and
This is number of one Poisson type before another with rates and .
Fix and let
This is a Dynkin system. It contains . If , then
so it is closed under complements. Countable additivity gives closure under countable disjoint unions.
The hypothesis says . Since is a pi-system, Dynkin lemma yields
Thus the factorization holds for every and every .
Now fix such a and define
The identical calculation makes a Dynkin system. The first step gives , so a second application of Dynkin lemma gives
Therefore the probability factorization holds for every
which is precisely independence of the two sigma-algebras. This is independence extended from generating pi-systems.
Dynkin lemma, also called the pi-lambda theorem, states that if a Dynkin system contains a pi-system , then
Let be the smallest Dynkin system containing . It is enough to prove that is a sigma-algebra, because then
First fix and define
This is a Dynkin system. It contains because ; closure under relative complements follows from
and closure under disjoint unions follows by distributing over the union. Since is closed under intersections, . Minimality therefore gives
Thus whenever and .
Now fix and define
The same argument shows that is a Dynkin system, and the preceding paragraph shows that it contains . Hence . We have proved that is itself a pi-system.
A Dynkin system that is also a pi-system is a sigma-algebra: it is closed under arbitrary finite intersections, hence finite unions by complements, and any countable union can be disjointified before using closure under disjoint unions. Therefore , proving the lemma.
The induced metric makes the compact surface a compact Riemannian manifold. By the Hopf-Rinow theorem it is geodesically complete, so every is defined on all of . In particular, is defined for every .
The global exponential map
is smooth by smooth dependence of geodesics on initial data. Since is a smooth section of , their composition
is smooth.
For , define
Completeness makes this a well-defined smooth homotopy, with and . By homotopy invariance of degree modulo two,
This is the exponential displacement map on a compact surface.
For , let be the maximal geodesic satisfying
The exponential map is
on the domain of the exponential map
This is an open, star-shaped neighbourhood of zero. In local coordinates the geodesic equation is a smooth ordinary differential equation, so smooth dependence on its initial position and velocity proves that is smooth on its domain.
For both requested phenomena consider the embedded surface
with . Its geodesics are Euclidean straight lines for as long as they remain in . The initial vector would give
which reaches the missing origin at . Thus , and the domain is not all of .
The point is not in the image of . Any geodesic from to would have to be their unique Euclidean straight line, which passes through the omitted origin. Hence this exponential map is also not surjective, as summarized by exponential map of the punctured plane.
Assume first that is connected; otherwise the definition is made separately on each connected component. Choose a regular value and define the degree modulo two by
The following course results make this well-defined.
The same transverse-preimage argument applied to a smooth homotopy proves homotopy invariance. Consequently the definition depends only on , rather than on the chosen regular value.
A point is a regular value of the smooth map if, for every , the derivative
is surjective. A value outside the image is regular vacuously.
For a nonvacuous example, take
The value is regular: its fibre is the unit circle, and at every on that circle,
is a nonzero linear functional and hence surjective.
Sard theorem states that the set of critical values of a smooth map between smooth manifolds has measure zero in the target. Equivalently, almost every target point is a regular value.
Compact support and the fundamental theorem of calculus give, for every ,

Applying the same argument in the other coordinate gives
Multiplication and Fubini's theorem now yield
Finally, the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality gives
Thus the required estimate holds with ; it is the Ladyzhenskaya inequality in two dimensions.
For , choose nonzero and with . Define
These functions are continuous and belong to the Lebesgue space , while their restrictions to the hyperplane are all the same:
Changing variables in the normal coordinate gives
If the claimed bounded existed, then
a contradiction. This scaling argument is the failure of an Lp hyperplane trace.
For , the Sobolev trace theorem states that the restriction map initially defined on smooth functions extends uniquely to a bounded linear operator
Take first in the Schwartz space. Up to the harmless constant determined by the Fourier transform convention,
The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, with weights , gives
After the substitution , the second factor is
where finiteness is exactly the condition . Multiplying by and integrating in yields
Density of the Schwartz space in the Sobolev space completes the unique bounded extension.
Write . We prove that has a closed graph. Suppose
Put and . Then and in .
Fix and . Positivity and linearity give
Because converges in the continuous dual space, its norms are bounded, so
Also , while because the fixed functional is continuous. Passing to the limit yields
for every real . If , a sufficiently small of the opposite sign makes the right-hand side negative. Hence for every , so and .
The graph is therefore closed. The closed graph theorem now proves that is continuous. This is precisely continuity of a positive linear map into a dual space.
The continuous dual space of a normed vector space is
with the operator norm
Let be a Cauchy sequence in this norm. For each ,
so is Cauchy in the scalar field. Define . Passing to limits in the linearity identities shows that is linear.
A norm-Cauchy sequence is bounded, say . Hence , so . Given , choose such that for . Letting gives
for every , and therefore . Thus in operator norm, proving completeness of the dual space: is Banach.
The open mapping theorem states that every surjective bounded linear map between Banach spaces maps open sets to open sets. Equivalently, there is such that
The closed graph theorem states that a linear map between Banach spaces is continuous if and only if its graph
is closed in .
Assume the open mapping theorem and suppose is closed. As a closed subspace of the Banach space , the graph is itself Banach. The coordinate projection
is a bounded linear bijection. By the open mapping theorem, is bounded. The other coordinate projection is bounded, and
Thus is bounded and hence continuous. This is the closed graph theorem from the bounded inverse theorem argument.
Because , we have and
For , the minimal polynomial is
Since , reduction modulo gives . Its two roots are distinct, so
with distinct prime ideals of norm . Thus splits completely, as recorded in splitting of three in Q of square root minus p.
The ideal class group is the group of nonzero fractional ideals of modulo the subgroup of principal fractional ideals. Saying that has order means that is the least positive integer for which is principal.
Suppose for contradiction that is odd and has order . Then for some , and taking norms gives
Write , where have the same parity. Then
If , the right-hand side is at least , contradicting . Hence , so is a rational algebraic integer and therefore an integer. But then , impossible when is odd. This proves the odd-order obstruction for a split prime in an imaginary quadratic field and shows that the order cannot equal .
