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.
A uniform one-body energy changes fixed-activity ideal-gas pressure
Ideal positional gas of one operationally indistinguishable species in a bounded three-dimensional Euclidean cube, at fixed dimensionless activity, positive inverse-energy parameter and physical temperature, with a spatially uniform one-body energy c_SI>0 joules per particle. Pressure is the reduced log-partition rate converted by k_BT per physical volume. This is a conditional model calculation only; it reports no observation and is outside the square-count exterior-boundary hypothesis of the cited theorem.
Statement refuted
At fixed positive activity, adding a spatially uniform one-body energy to each particle never changes the thermodynamic grand pressure.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Assume AC. Let , in numerical coordinates, one species with operationally indistinguishable particles, unit-intensity Poisson reference , reference scales joules and metres, temperature kelvin, Boltzmann constant J/K, reference action J s, particle mass kg, chemical potential joules, and uniform one-body energy joules per particle. Set , , physical activity , , and dimensionless , , and .
The current draft Interacting classical Gibbs equilibrium adoption adopts finite-region Gibbs conditional laws when normalizers are positive and finite; the current draft Classical particle counting and physical observables supplies the sector factor for operationally indistinguishable particles. For this model, identify its locally prescribed action reference with as required by the adopted thermal-wavelength convention of Interacting classical Gibbs equilibrium adoption; this equality is a declared common-reference choice, not a numerical value supplied by the counting postulate. These are an adopted postulate and reference convention, not proven claims.
The current draft Classical Gibbs quantities and SI reference conventions defines and continuum activity with .
Set the pair potential to . For each uniform energy , additionally adopt the ideal positional grand-sector weight at fixed physical activity . Numerical coordinates satisfy , so and . Define its standard positional grand partition by . Define its reduced pressure as and SI pressure by . Here are dimensionless. This is an explicit ideal-gas model and pressure convention, conditional on [A1] and [A2], not an empirical claim.
Assume the Axiom of Choice The Axiom of Choice, as required by the unit-Poisson reference and its count-properties theorem.
Qualified interacting continuum thermodynamic and positional ensemble limits restricts its uniform exterior-pressure conclusion to the stated square-count exterior class. A one-body term throughout the volume is not an exterior boundary configuration in that class.
Poisson Configuration Reference defines the unit-intensity Poisson reference and its bounded-region restrictions .
Stable finite-range continuum specification normalization and consistency states that for bounded Borel and , the -point sector of is the pushforward of times product Lebesgue measure on ordered simple tuples.
Poisson Reference Counts and Translation Invariance gives and the exact exponential moment .
The real exponential function and the number by a power series defines by its real power series; The exponential addition formula gives , and The exponential function is strictly increasing gives strict monotonicity.
The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function defines as the inverse of the real exponential, so for .
Counterexample
Under [A3], an -particle configuration has numerical positional energy . Its unit-Poisson normalized grand partition is by [F4] and the exponential addition law [F5].
By [F3], the -point sector of contributes times the positional integral in [A3]. Summing sectors therefore gives , so [A3] yields . Its reduced pressure is by [F6]. The SI conversion in [A3] is pascals.
Repeating steps 1.1–2.1 in the member of [A3]'s model family gives . For the selected , , so strict monotonicity [F5] yields . The fixed-activity SI pressures differ by the same positive factor , while the volume term is not covered by the restricted exterior-boundary theorem in [F1]. Thus the stated universal claim is false.
