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 rectangular-cavity standing mode at resonance: explicit fields and the PEC end-cap check

Physical scope

An explicit conditional standing-wave cavity mode of the lossless isotropic scalar branch in the rectangular perfectly conducting cavity, with its exact resonance condition and end-cap check. No measured resonance or empirical claim.

Example

All displayed fields and parameters below are numerical values in fixed coherent SI units: a,b,d,xj in m, t in s, ω in s−1, ε in F m−1, μ in H m−1, E,Esp in V m−1 and B in T. The TM longitudinal normalization is E∗=1 V m−1 in The separated TE and TM candidate modes of the lossless rectangular PEC guide: exact verification, index restrictions and cutoff(b), so the dimensionless profile below specifies the numerical electric-field components.

Let a,b,d>0 and ε,μ>0 be constants, put Esp(x):=e1sin⁡πx2bsin⁡πx3d, and for ω>0 define E(x,t):=Esp(x)cos⁡(ωt) and B(x,t):=−1ω(curl⁡Esp)(x)sin⁡(ωt), where the curl is the fixed-time spatial curl of Divergence and curl of a C1 vector field. Then E,B are smooth, div⁡Esp=0, ΔEsp=−[(π/b)2+(π/d)2]Esp, and E,B satisfy the four source-free macroscopic equations on the box Ωc=(0,a)×(0,b)×(0,d) in the lossless isotropic scalar branch exactly when ω2=1εμ[(πb)2+(πd)2]; with that resonance, n×E=0 and n⋅B=0 hold on all six walls, so (E,B) is a PEC cavity mode. It is the cutoff instance β=0 of the TM family of The separated TE and TM candidate modes of the lossless rectangular PEC guide: exact verification, index restrictions and cutoff(b) taken with axis e1, cross-section (0,b)×(0,d) and indices (m,n)=(1,1): the field is independent of x1, which is why it also satisfies the x1=0 and x1=a end-cap conditions for every box length a>0. The example asserts a conditional model solution, not an observed resonance.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The SI numerical-value convention and E∗=1 V m−1 normalization of the Example; constants a,b,d>0 and ε,μ>0; Esp(x):=e1sin⁡πx2bsin⁡πx3d; for ω>0 the fields E(x,t):=Esp(x)cos⁡(ωt) and B(x,t):=−1ω(curl⁡Esp)(x)sin⁡(ωt) on the box Ωc=(0,a)×(0,b)×(0,d); the fixed-time spatial curl and divergence of Divergence and curl of a C1 vector field; the box geometry, its six open walls and the PEC conditions of Rectangular PEC guide and cavity geometry, the zero-normal-B reflection class, and axis-relative TE/TM/TEM.

[F1]

Profile identities: with e11(y1,y2):=sin⁡πy1bsin⁡πy2d on the rectangle (0,b)×(0,d) one has Δe11=−k112e11 with k112=(π/b)2+(π/d)2, e11=0 on the rectangle boundary; in particular sin⁡0=sin⁡π=0 and the second derivatives of the sine factors are −π2b2sin⁡πy1b and −π2d2sin⁡πy2d (The separated sine and cosine rectangle profiles: eigen-identities, boundary traces, orthogonality and Dirichlet integrals (b)).

[F2]

Use the positively oriented cyclic coordinates (y1,y2,y3)=(x2,x3,x1) with basis (e2,e3,e1): cyclic permutation leaves the coordinate cross-product, divergence and curl formulas unchanged. Thus the transverse lemma and candidate theorem apply with longitudinal axis e1 and transverse coordinates (x2,x3). For an x1-independent profile h regarded on the splitting R3=R2⊕Re1 with coordinates (x2,x3), curl⁡(e1h)=−e1×∇(2,3)h, div⁡(e1h)=∂1h=0, and e1×(e1×v)=−v for transverse v (Transverse vector-calculus identities for the splitting R3=R2⊕Rez (a),(b) applied with ez:=e1).

[F3]

With the stated SI numerical-value convention and E∗=1 V m−1, the TM family of The separated TE and TM candidate modes of the lossless rectangular PEC guide: exact verification, index restrictions and cutoff (b) with axis e1, cross-section (0,b)×(0,d), indices (1,1) and β=0: kc2=k112, and the amplitudes E~=iβkc2∇te+eze, H~=iωεkc2ez×∇te at β=0 become E~=e1e11 and H~=iωεk112e1×∇e11; the theorem gives smoothness, the four source-free equations at the cutoff ω2=kc2/(εμ), and the PEC conditions on the four faces with normals ±e2,±e3 (The separated TE and TM candidate modes of the lossless rectangular PEC guide: exact verification, index restrictions and cutoff (b),(d)).

Verification

technique · direct: compute the divergence, Laplacian and curl of the explicit spatial profile, verify the four equations and the six wall conditions, and identify the field with the cutoff TM instance
1.1F1F2algebra

[The spatial profile, the equations and the resonance] The profile has only its first component, independent of x1, so div⁡Esp=∂1(sin⁡πx2bsin⁡πx3d)=0 and ΔEsp=e1(∂22+∂32)e11=−[(π/b)2+(π/d)2]Esp=−k112Esp by [F1]. Hence div⁡E=div⁡Espcos⁡ωt=0 and div⁡B=−1ωdiv⁡(curl⁡Esp)sin⁡ωt=0 (a divergence of a curl vanishes componentwise by the equality of mixed partials of the smooth profile). Further curl⁡E=(curl⁡Esp)cos⁡ωt and −∂tB=(curl⁡Esp)cos⁡ωt, so Faraday's law holds identically. For Amp`ere's law compute curl⁡curl⁡Esp: by [F2] curl⁡Esp=curl⁡(e1e11)=−e1×∇e11=(0,∂3e11,−∂2e11), whose curl is (∂2(−∂2e11)−∂3(∂3e11),0,0)=−(Δe11)e1=k112e1e11=k112Esp by [F1]; therefore curl⁡H=1μcurl⁡B=−1ωμk112Espsin⁡ωt and ∂tD=ε∂tE=−εωEspsin⁡ωt, which agree exactly when k112=ω2εμ, i.e. when ω2=1εμ[(π/b)2+(π/d)2]. The fields are smooth because Esp is a product of sines and curl⁡Esp a finite combination of such products, and both are independent of x1.

[The six wall conditions] On the walls x1=0 and x1=a with normals ∓e1: n×E=∓e1×E=∓cos⁡ωt e1×Esp=0 since Esp is parallel to e1, and n⋅B=∓B1=±1ω(curl⁡Esp)1sin⁡ωt=0 because (curl⁡Esp)1=∂2(Esp)3−∂3(Esp)2=0. On the walls x2=0 and x2=b with normals ∓e2: e2×E=E1(e2×e1)=−E1e3 and E1=sin⁡πx2bsin⁡πx3dcos⁡ωt vanishes because sin⁡πx2b=0 there, so n×E=0; and n⋅B=∓B2=±1ω(curl⁡Esp)2sin⁡ωt with (curl⁡Esp)2=∂3(Esp)1−∂1(Esp)3=πdsin⁡πx2bcos⁡πx3d, which vanishes at x2=0,b. On the walls x3=0 and x3=d with normals ∓e3: e3×E=E1e2, whose coefficient E1 vanishes because sin⁡πx3d=0 there, so n×E=0; and n⋅B=∓B3=±1ω(curl⁡Esp)3sin⁡ωt with (curl⁡Esp)3=∂1(Esp)2−∂2(Esp)1=−πbcos⁡πx2bsin⁡πx3d, which vanishes at x3=0,d. Thus all six walls satisfy n×E=0 and n⋅B=0 at resonance.

[Identification with the cutoff TM instance] In the setting of [F3] with axis e1, cross-section (0,b)×(0,d), indices (1,1) and β=0, the dispersion relation β2=ω2εμ−k112 at β=0 is exactly the resonance k112=ω2εμ of step 1.1, e11=sin⁡πx2bsin⁡πx3d, and the amplitudes become E~=e1e11 and H~=iωεk112e1×∇e11. Then θ=−ωt, E=Re⁡(E~e−iωt)=e1e11cos⁡ωt=Espcos⁡ωt, and B=μRe⁡(H~e−iωt)=μωεk112(e1×∇e11)sin⁡ωt=−1ωcurl⁡Espsin⁡ωt because curl⁡Esp=−e1×∇e11 [F2] and μωε/k112=1/ω at resonance. The amplitudes are independent of x1, which is why the end-cap conditions on x1=0,a hold for every box length a>0; the theorem's clause (d) supplies the resonance condition and clause (b) the guide-wall conditions on the four faces with normals ±e2,±e3.
