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.
Zero Killing contraction makes the sourced Killing current divergence-free
Statement
Use the time-oriented Lorentzian open set, smooth metric, metric-selected connection, Killing field, positively oriented finite coordinate slab with compact closure, and finite-slab conventions of Finite Killing energy current and reference normalization, including its definitions of and the net outward side flux . Assume as required by its connection construction. Let be smooth and symmetric and let be a smooth vector field such that ; this replaces the conserved-stress hypothesis for this corollary. If , then , and, conditional on the finite-slab balance theorem Complete finite-slab production and outward-flux balance at its actual interface, the finite slice charges satisfy . Thus the endpoint charges are equal exactly when the net side flux is zero. In the static subcase, assume with ; the algebraic zero-work condition then implies . No infinite-domain or exhaustion limit is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The geometric setup, current definition, and finite-slab convention of Finite Killing energy current and reference normalization, with a smooth symmetric tensor , a smooth vector field , , and . The conserved-stress equation in the lemma is not assumed here.
Assume , the Axiom of Countable Choice, to carry the exact hypothesis of the lemma and its Levi-Civita supplier (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Finite Killing energy current and reference normalization defines , as the finite proper-normal flux charge, and the exact finite-slab geometric notation; its MI01 balance input is the theorem statement recorded in [L2].
Killing fields of a Lorentzian metric defines a Killing field by .
Under [A1], Existence and uniqueness of the metric-selected connection of a nondegenerate metric, and its extension to tensor fields supplies the induced tensor derivative product rule.
On the oriented chart domain inherited from the lemma, Killing fields and conserved currents, and on-shell conservation of the Hilbert stress-energy tensor clause (a) proves for every smooth vector field ; its other clauses are not used.
Finite spacelike slab and normal flux charge defines a positively oriented product slab with open spatial rectangle and compact closure, future unit slice normal, proper normal-flux charge, and upper-minus-lower coordinate side flux, with current regularity and mathematical real coordinates.
Complete finite-slab production and outward-flux balance assumes the background, the slab data and a current ; with , it states .
Proof
By [A1] and [F3], the induced tensor product rule and the supplied source equation give .
Symmetry of , the Killing definition [F2], and its exact characterization [F4] give . The assumed zero Killing contraction therefore gives .
The smooth current is , so the balance [L2] applies at its stated interface. Substituting step 2.1 into its production integral gives zero, while [F1] identifies the normal current flux with ; hence the conditional endpoint-plus-side-flux identity follows.
In the balance from step 3.1, zero net side flux implies equal endpoint charges, and equal endpoint charges imply zero net side flux. In the static case, whenever ; thus zero local work suffices for current conservation.
