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.

Flat-torus vacuum data from a constant TT tensor

Physical scope

Exact mathematical example of compact flat-torus vacuum constraint data with nonzero transverse-traceless part; it makes no empirical claim or spacetime-development assertion.

Example

Let Σ=T2π3 have dimensionless periodic coordinates xi and conformal metric h~=L∗2∑i=13(dxi)2, where L∗>0 is a length. Let σ~ have constant covariant components σ~11=a∗, σ~22=−a∗ and all other components zero, where a∗>0 is a length. Fix a nonzero constant τ with units m−1. Then ∣σ~∣h~2=A:=2a∗2/L∗4>0 and R~=0. The unique positive constant solution ϕ0=(3A/(2τ2))1/12 gives h=ϕ04h~ and K=ϕ0−2σ~+(τ/3)h, which satisfy the vacuum constraint equations. The tracefree part of K is nonzero.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The flat torus, L∗>0, a∗>0, and a constant τ≠0 with the units and coordinate convention in the Example. Assume ACω for the torus supplier and the inherited embedded Lorentzian constraint interpretation.

[A1]

The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), Vacuum conformal constraint data: ACω is the axiom that every countable family of nonempty sets has a choice function; the torus supplier assumes it for its quotient convention, and the conformal-data definition requires it for an embedded Lorentzian interpretation.

[F1]

Vacuum conformal constraint data: D~ is the Levi-Civita connection of h~; TT means h~ijσ~ij=0 and D~iσ~ij=0; and the ansatz is h=ϕ4h~, K=ϕ−2σ~+(τ/3)h.

[F2]

Conformal reduction of the vacuum constraint equations: the momentum constraint vanishes for this TT, constant-trace ansatz, and the Hamiltonian constraint is equivalent to the displayed Lichnerowicz equation.

[F3]

Exact positive constant solution of the CMC constraint equation: when R~=0 and ∣σ~∣h~2=A>0 is constant, the unique positive constant solution for τ≠0 is (3A/(2τ2))1/12.

[F4]

Christoffel formula for the levi civita connection: in a chart, Γkij=12h~kℓ(∂ih~jℓ+∂jh~iℓ−∂ℓh~ij).

[F5]

Dual connection, Product connection on tensor and hom bundles: the covariant derivative on covariant tensor fields obeys the dual and product Leibniz rules.

[F6]

Curvature is a type (1,3) tensor: curvature is tensorial, so its components in a coordinate basis determine it pointwise.

[F7]

The 2 pi-periodic three-torus, its normalized measure, test functions and the Sobolev spaces H^s: T2π3=(R/2πZ)3 has the quotient/product topology; smooth maps are those with smooth periodic lifts to R3. The angular expressions here are local coordinates and invariant differentials under translations by 2πZ3.

Verification

1.1givenA1F1F4F5F6F7algebra

The displayed constant metric and tensor components are invariant under the quotient translations of [F7], so they define smooth tensor fields on the torus. The metric is positive definite because L∗>0. The metric components are constant, so [F4] makes the Christoffel symbols of h~ vanish in the periodic coordinates. Thus D~∂i∂j=0 and [∂i,∂j]=0; the curvature definition in [F1] gives R~(∂i,∂j)∂k=0 for all coordinate indices. By tensoriality [F6], the curvature and its scalar trace vanish, so R~=0. The dual and tensor-factor rules in [F5] give (D~iσ~)kℓ=∂iσ~kℓ−Γ~mikσ~mℓ−Γ~miℓσ~km=0, since the components are constant and the Christoffel symbols vanish. Hence D~iσ~ij=0, and its trace is L∗−2(a∗−a∗+0)=0. Its squared norm is L∗−4(a∗2+a∗2)=2a∗2/L∗4=A>0; therefore the input tensor is TT with the stated constant norm.

By [F3], the positive constant ϕ0=(3A/(2τ2))1/12 solves the scalar constraint equation. The reduction in [F2] then gives both vacuum constraints for the constructed (h,K). From [F1] and step 1.1, tr⁡hK=τ, so its tracefree part is K−13(tr⁡hK)h=ϕ0−2σ~≠0, because a∗>0 and ϕ0>0. Varying L∗,a∗,τ over the stated ranges gives the claimed parameterized family.
