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.
Finite exact rational electrovac tensor verification
Definition
Inputs. Fix the integral domain on the ordered variables and its field of fractions . A run receives a symmetric matrix and a covector with entries in , represented by finite sparse polynomial numerator-denominator pairs, together with a specified polynomial . It also receives the chart hypothesis that is nonzero in and that on the real open chart under consideration all input denominators are nonzero and . The coordinate derivations are , , and . The chart hypothesis is input; the procedure does not prove Lorentz signature or check the volume identity. For geometric interpretation use the curvature convention , with the coefficient of and . Expanding this definition yields the coordinate Ricci schedule in Instruction 3.
Outputs. Return the finite tables of: the sixteen entries of ; the six independent components of ; all sixteen raised components ; the four Maxwell-density residuals ; all sixty-four Christoffel entries; the sixteen Ricci entries the scalar ; the sixteen entries of the scalar curvature and the Ricci-square. For every output rational function, return its numerator-denominator pair, its exact numerator-zero flag, and the finite list of all divisor polynomials used.
Instructions.
-
Represent a polynomial by its finite set of exponent-vector/coefficient pairs. Addition merges equal exponent vectors, multiplication enumerates every pair of input monomials and collects equal exponent vectors, and differentiate each monomial by the integer-power rule of For a natural the function is differentiable everywhere with derivative ; for it is the constant , with derivative ; for a natural the function is differentiable at every with derivative ; consequently every polynomial function is differentiable at every real, with the derivative computed term by term. Represent a rational function by with and . Addition and multiplication use cross-products, and division replaces by only when in . Differentiation uses .
-
Compute by its twenty-four signed permutation products and form from cofactors divided by . Record and check all sixteen entries of .
-
All indices in this instruction range over , and . Compute every , then raise indices by and . Compute all four . Compute every Christoffel entry by , then all sixteen Ricci entries by the displayed formula, with no symmetry-based component omitted. Compute , every Einstein residual, and by their full finite contractions.
-
Record every polynomial divisor introduced by inversion, division, or a rational derivative in the admissibility list. Do not remove a divisor from that list when a later cancellation removes its factor from the displayed numerator or denominator. Return failure if any required divisor is the zero polynomial or an input denominator is zero.
A zero flag means exactly that the polynomial numerator is the zero element of . No floating-point tolerance, parameter sample, convergence test, or choice of roots is part of the procedure. This is a finite mathematical procedure; its operational correctness, termination, and resource bounds are separate proved claims.
