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.
Massless formal annihilation angular contrast
A massless specialization of the adopted formal one-photon tree coefficient. It compares two angular coefficients and integrates their formal coefficient over the sphere; it is not a measured event ratio or exact continuum QED cross section.
Statement
Use the massless case of the formal tree theorem Formal tree scattering and scalar-decay coefficients, including its stated hypothesis, with . Explicitly take incoming and outgoing on the positive massless shell, so each has , with and . Use the theorem's proper orthochronous center-of-momentum chart ; is the Euclidean angle between the nonzero spatial parts of and . The differential coefficient at is twice its value at ; integrating over the full sphere gives All three quantities are formal coefficients in the adopted map, not event counts or exact measured cross sections.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , the theorem's Countable Choice condition, the positive-shell/common-total and center-of-momentum angle data in the Statement, and the coefficient conventions of Formal tree scattering and scalar-decay coefficients and Formal diagram coefficient-to-observable adoption.
Formal tree scattering and scalar-decay coefficients: the differential coefficient is and the total coefficient is its full-sphere integral.
QFT example units, metric, gauge, and pairing conventions: is dimensionless, , and .
Formal diagram coefficient-to-observable adoption: the selected tree result is a leading formal coefficient with no exact continuum or empirical identification.
Example
The angular contrast is a simple consequence of the massless tree angular polynomial.
Verification
Setting in [F1] gives Thus its values at and are respectively and , and their ratio is . The numerator has unit and has unit , so each coefficient has area unit .
Integrating the same density uses and , so The adopted reading [A1] introduces no count or measurement record.
