How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

2 · Summary
Scope
This companion checks the charged-scalar equation and sourced Maxwell sign on an exact flat-background plane wave, and computes a nonzero Einstein–Hilbert normal-derivative flux when only the boundary value of the metric variation is fixed. These are mathematical examples with the stated smooth fields and cutoffs, not reports of experiments or claims about observed systems.

Exact background scalar plane wave and derived current
Example
On with , Minkowski metric , and trivial bundle, set , with in , and
where is dimensionless, has units , and has units . For the scalar action of Classical complex-scalar connection derivative and action, this is an exact solution of the local background scalar equation, equivalently stationary under compactly supported scalar variations. The infinite-volume action value need not be finite; only the local equation and compactly supported variations are used. If the coupling , the same configuration has a nonzero derived current although , so it fails the sourced Maxwell equation of Sourced Maxwell sign and current conservation. It is therefore a background scalar solution, not a solution of the coupled scalar–Maxwell system. No relation to or empirical data is used.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The flat metric and trivial connection above, the scalar model of Classical complex-scalar connection derivative and action, the scalar Euler–Lagrange equation and current formula of Classical charged-scalar action, current and stress variation, and the planned sourced Maxwell sign convention of Sourced Maxwell sign and current conservation.
For this model, and . (Classical charged-scalar action, current and stress variation)
The sourced Maxwell equation is in this inertial chart, with . (Sourced Maxwell sign and current conservation)
The constants satisfy , , , , and . The example is a mathematical background-field calculation.
The in-run geometric supplier chain carries the convention stated in The Axiom of Countable Choice (); this calculation makes no further choice.
Verification
Since , and . The plane wave has and , so by [A1].
The current formula [F1] gives and . Thus when , while for its temporal component is nonzero because are positive.
In either case and hence . If , [F2] would require although by step 1.2. Therefore the background scalar solution with nonzero coupling does not solve the sourced Maxwell equation; when , this particular current obstruction is absent.

Zero boundary metric value does not kill EH derivative flux
Example
Work in boundaryless ambient and integrate the local divergence over the half-space subdomain . Give the flat metric , coordinates , and outward conormal at its boundary. All coordinates have length units and choose a length . Take dimensionless cutoffs and with , near , and near . Define
Then on , but its normal derivative is nonzero there. For the Einstein–Hilbert summand with coefficient , the local variation formula in Compact Einstein–Hilbert variation and SI coupling has a nonzero boundary flux for this variation. The diagram records only the chosen half-space and normal; the proof is the component calculation below.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The half-space chart and flat metric above, compact cutoffs , and the metric variation for sufficiently small .
The first variation of the Einstein–Hilbert density is , where and . (Compact Einstein–Hilbert variation and SI coupling)
Curvature and the Einstein tensor are defined from the metric-selected connection and its curvature; for the constant metric , its Christoffel symbols and curvature vanish. (The Riemann curvature operator and the derived Ricci, scalar and Einstein tensors)
Nonnegative smooth cutoffs with compact support and a plateau equal to one near a point exist in Euclidean coordinate balls. (A smooth bump between concentric Euclidean balls)
The cutoffs are smooth, compactly supported, nonnegative where stated, and equal to on neighborhoods of the origin and respectively. The first variation is interpreted as a compactly supported action difference on the half-space.
The geometric supplier chain carries the convention stated in The Axiom of Countable Choice (); the local cutoff calculation makes no further choice.
Verification
By [F3], choose nonnegative compactly supported dimensionless equal to one near the origin and dimensionless equal to one near zero. The factor gives . At the boundary, and for ; in particular, at the origin . Since is bounded and nonzero, has the same Lorentzian signature whenever . Thus the metric value is fixed at the boundary while its normal derivative is not.
At the flat background, substituting into [F1] gives . Contracting the two terms in gives and , hence . On , .
Since , the linearized Einstein–Hilbert density is just by [F1]. The tangential integrals vanish because is compactly supported, and the upper normal endpoint contributes zero because is compactly supported. The fundamental theorem of calculus on therefore gives, after multiplying by the action coefficient, the boundary contribution . This is the outward flux for conormal .
The nonzero first-variation boundary term in step 3.1 occurs despite on . Therefore fixing only boundary metric values does not justify discarding the Einstein–Hilbert derivative flux.
Remarks
- This is the local divergence flux on a subdomain of a boundaryless ambient manifold; it is not a boundary value problem for Einstein's equations.
