Coverage & review

Coverage of this curation

Original question, distinct results, proof provenance, selected history and an explanatory schematic.

Formal proofs: No formal proof project for these explicit Gaussian identities was located in the selected primary sources. Independent mathematical assessment is pending.

AI-assisted work: Long is the human author. ChatGPT 5.6 Sol Pro and Claude Fable 5 receive distinct, self-reported witness-discovery credits; Derksen, van den Essen and Zhao supplied the original question and reduction.

Search scope & review

Selected primary papers, exact formal declarations, project provenance and official descriptions checked on 13 October 2026.

Checked Oct 13, 2026 · independent review pending.

  • No linked formal proof of the moment identities was found in the selected sources.
  • The two-variable case and comprehensive later literature require continued review.
