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 R4 with x0=ct, Minkowski metric η=diag⁡(−1,1,1,1), and trivial bundle, set A=0, V(u)=ms2u with ms>0 in m−1, and

φ(t,x)=Cexp⁡(−iωt+ik⋅x),

where C≠0 is dimensionless, k∈R3 has units m−1, and ω:=c∣k∣2+ms2>0 has units s−1. 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 λ≠0, the same configuration has a nonzero derived current although F=dA=0, 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 ℏ 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.

[F1]

For this model, Eφ=DaDaφ−V′(∣φ∣2)φ and ja=KφλIm⁡(φ‾Daφ). (Classical charged-scalar action, current and stress variation)

[F2]

The sourced Maxwell equation is ∂aFab=−μ0jb in this inertial chart, with μ0>0. (Sourced Maxwell sign and current conservation)

[A1]

The constants satisfy c>0, Kφ>0, ms>0, C≠0, and ω=c∣k∣2+ms2. The example is a mathematical background-field calculation.

[A2]

The in-run geometric supplier chain carries the ACω convention stated in The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω); this calculation makes no further choice.

Verification

1.1A1A2F1algebra

Since A=0, Da=∂a and DaDa=−c−2∂t2+Δ. The plane wave has ∂t2φ=−ω2φ and Δφ=−∣k∣2φ, so Eφ=(ω2/c2−∣k∣2−ms2)φ=0 by [A1].

1.2A1F1algebra

The current formula [F1] gives j0=Kφλ(ω/c)∣C∣2 and ji=Kφλki∣C∣2. Thus j=0 when λ=0, while for λ≠0 its temporal component is nonzero because Kφ,ω,∣C∣2 are positive.

2.1A1F2step 1.2algebra∎

In either case F=dA=0 and hence ∂aFa0=0. If λ≠0, [F2] would require 0=−μ0j0 although μ0j0≠0 by step 1.2. Therefore the background scalar solution with nonzero coupling does not solve the sourced Maxwell equation; when λ=0, this particular current obstruction is absent.

Zero boundary metric value does not kill EH derivative flux

Example

Work in boundaryless ambient M=R4 and integrate the local divergence over the half-space subdomain H={x3≥0}. Give M the flat metric η=diag⁡(−1,1,1,1), coordinates (x0,x1,x2,x3), and outward conormal −dx3 at its boundary. All coordinates have length units and choose a length ℓ>0. Take dimensionless cutoffs χ∈Cc∞(R3) and ρ∈Cc∞(R) with χ≥0, χ=1 near 0∈R3, and ρ=1 near 0∈R. Define

f(x):=x3ℓχ(x0,x1,x2)ρ(x3),hab:=fηab.

Then hab=0 on ∂H, but its normal derivative is nonzero there. For the Einstein–Hilbert summand with coefficient c3/(16πGN), 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.

x3=0+@3nout=¡@3H:x3¸0hj@H=0;@3hj@H6=0

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The half-space chart and flat metric above, compact cutoffs χ,ρ, and the metric variation gs=η+sh for sufficiently small s.

[F1]

The first variation of the Einstein–Hilbert density is δ(wR)=wGabqab+∂a(wVa), where Va=gbdδΓadb−gabδΓddb and δΓabc=12gad(∇bhcd+∇chbd−∇dhbc). (Compact Einstein–Hilbert variation and SI coupling)

[F2]

Curvature and the Einstein tensor are defined from the metric-selected connection and its curvature; for the constant metric η, its Christoffel symbols and curvature vanish. (The Riemann curvature operator and the derived Ricci, scalar and Einstein tensors)

[F3]

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)

[A1]

The cutoffs are smooth, compactly supported, nonnegative where stated, and equal to 1 on neighborhoods of the origin and x3=0 respectively. The first variation is interpreted as a compactly supported action difference on the half-space.

[A2]

The geometric supplier chain carries the ACω convention stated in The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω); the local cutoff calculation makes no further choice.

Verification

1.1A1F3algebra

By [F3], choose nonnegative compactly supported dimensionless χ equal to one near the origin and dimensionless ρ equal to one near zero. The factor x3/ℓ gives hab∣x3=0=0. At the boundary, ∂3f=χ/ℓ and ∂αf=0 for α=0,1,2; in particular, at the origin ∂3f=1/ℓ. Since f is bounded and nonzero, gs=(1+sf)η has the same Lorentzian signature whenever ∣s∣<1/(2∥f∥∞). Thus the metric value is fixed at the boundary while its normal derivative is not.

2.1A2F1step 1.1algebra

At the flat background, substituting hab=fηab into [F1] gives δΓabc=12(δca∂bf+δba∂cf−ηbc∂af). Contracting the two terms in Va gives ηbdδΓadb=−∂af and ηabδΓddb=2∂af, hence Va=−3∂af. On x3=0, V3=−3χ/ℓ.

3.1A1F1F2step 2.1algebra

Since Gab=0, the linearized Einstein–Hilbert density is just ∂aVa by [F1]. The tangential integrals vanish because χ is compactly supported, and the upper normal endpoint contributes zero because ρ is compactly supported. The fundamental theorem of calculus on x3∈[0,∞) therefore gives, after multiplying by the action coefficient, the boundary contribution −c316πGN∫x3=0V3 dx0dx1dx2=3c316πGNℓ∫R3χ dx0dx1dx2>0. This is the outward flux for conormal −dx3.

4.1step 1.1step 3.1algebra∎

The nonzero first-variation boundary term in step 3.1 occurs despite hab=0 on ∂H. Therefore fixing only boundary metric values does not justify discarding the Einstein–Hilbert derivative flux.
