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.

Pure magnetic anisotropic stress and null-flux equality

Physical scope

Two exact pointwise electromagnetic-stress calculations in an orthonormal observer frame: a pure magnetic field has anisotropic principal stresses, and crossed equal-normalized electric and magnetic fields saturate the DEC flux bound. These are ideal local/test-background calculations, not measurements or full coupled Einstein–Maxwell solutions.

Example

At a point in a Minkowski orthonormal observer frame, use the SI electromagnetic stress and observer conventions of Smooth matter quantities, current and observer observables.

For a pure magnetic field E=0, B=B0e3 with B0≠0, the energy density is u=B02/(2μ0), the energy current is (u,0,0,0), and the spatial principal stresses are (u,u,−u). The tensor is trace-free, obeys WEC, NEC, SEC and DEC, and is not an isotropic perfect-fluid stress because u≠−u.

For crossed fields E=E0e1, B=(E0/c)e2 with E0≠0, the energy density is u=E02/(μ0c2) and the spatial energy current is ue3. The observer energy-current four-vector is therefore null, so the DEC causal-flux inequality is saturated. Both calculations are exact ideal tensor evaluations at an observer event; they are not experimental reports or claims that the fields solve the full Einstein equation on an unchanged Minkowski metric.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A point with Minkowski metric, a positively oriented orthonormal observer tetrad, μ0>0, and one of the two stated nonzero field configurations.

[F1]

Smooth matter quantities, current and observer observables: the electromagnetic tensor is μ0−1(FacFbc−14gabFcdFcd), and the frame convention is F0i=−Ei/c, Fij=ϵijkBk.

[F2]

Observer energy conditions for selected matter plus EM: the electromagnetic stress has observer density u=(ϵ0∣E∣2+∣B∣2/μ0)/2, energy current (E×B)/(μ0c), and satisfies the four stated energy conditions with causal DEC current.

[A1]

The first configuration has E=0, B=B0e3, B0≠0; the second has E=E0e1, B=(E0/c)e2, E0≠0. These are pointwise ideal field values, not reported measurements.

Verification

1.1F1F2A1algebra

In the first configuration the tensor formula [F1] gives TEM00=B02/(2μ0)=u, TEM11=TEM22=u, TEM33=−u, and zero mixed components. Thus its trace is −u+u+u−u=0 and its spatial principal stresses are unequal. To exclude every perfect-fluid representation, suppose Tab=(ϵ+p)UaUb/c2+pηab with η(U,U)=−c2. Then U0≠0 and 0=T0i=(ϵ+p)U0Ui/c2. If ϵ+p≠0, all Ui vanish and Tij=pδij, contradicting (u,u,−u) with u>0. If ϵ+p=0, the same isotropic spatial matrix follows directly from T=pη and gives the same contradiction. Hence no such representation exists; [F2] supplies WEC, NEC, SEC and DEC for this electromagnetic tensor.

2.1F1F2A1step 1.1algebra∎

In the crossed-field configuration, ∣E∣2=E02 and ∣B∣2=E02/c2, so [F2] gives u=E02/(μ0c2). Also E×B=(E02/c)e3, hence Sn=(E×B)/(μ0c)=ue3. The observer energy-current four-vector (u,Sn) is nonzero null, so its DEC norm bound is attained.
