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 dust solution with constant velocity and transverse density profile

Example

Let ∣β∣<1 and γ=(1−β2)−1/2. Fix an inertial chart x:A→R4 and a positive C1 map ρ0:R2→(0,∞). Let n:A→V be the constant field with components n0=γ, n1=γβ, n2=n3=0, and define ρ:A→(0,∞) by ρ(p)=ρ0(x2(p),x3(p)). Then (ρ,n) satisfies the dust equations and Tab=ρ nanb is a conserved dust stress-energy field whose slice integrals over finite boxes are constant, even though its x1-face flux need not vanish.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The affine Minkowski model with inertial chart x and constant η=diag⁡(−1,1,1,1) (Oriented time-oriented affine Minkowski space (the spacetime primitives), Lorentz forms of inertia (3,1,0) on a 4-dimensional real vector space, Inertial frames and inertial charts of the affine Minkowski model); ∣β∣<1, γ=(1−β2)−1/2>0 (Rational powers ar of a positive base, Continuity and derivatives of positive-base real powers); the constant field n=(γ,γβ,0,0) and the positive C1 map ρ0:R2→(0,∞) and its pullback ρ(p)=ρ0(x2(p),x3(p)); T=ρ n⊗n.

[F1]

Dust equivalence: for a C1 future unit timelike field n and C1 ρ>0, the field Tab=ρ nanb is conserved, ∂aTab=0, if and only if ∂a(ρna)=0 and na∂anb=0; under conservation every integral curve of n is an affine straight line. If only ρ≥0 is assumed, the inertial-flow conclusion is asserted on {ρ>0}. (Dust: conservation of rho n tensor n is equivalent to continuity and inertial flow)

[F2]

Slice balance: Qb(s2)−Qb(s1)=∫[s1,s2]×Kˉfb d4x−∑i=13(∫[s1,s2]×Kˉi+Tib−∫[s1,s2]×Kˉi−Tib) for finite boxes. (Finite-box stress balance and the flux form of conservation,(b), Stress-energy tensor, force density and local balance on flat spacetime)

[F3]

A constant field has vanishing partial derivatives, since each coordinate partial derivative is the derivative of a constant one-variable restriction. (Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map U⊆Rm→Rn)

(n,ρ) satisfies the dust equations. By the definitions of γ and the Minkowski metric, η(n,n)=−(n0)2+(n1)2=−γ2(1−β2)=−1, and n0=γ>0 in the chart's time orientation, so n is a future unit timelike constant field; by [F3] ∂anb=0 and hence na∂anb=0. The profile depends only on x2,x3, so na∂aρ=γ(∂0ρ+β∂1ρ)=0; and ∂ana=0, so ∂a(ρna)=na∂aρ+ρ ∂ana=0. By [F1] the field Tab=ρ nanb is conserved.

1.2F1given

Nonnegative variant and support. If ρ0≥0 is allowed to vanish, the same equations ∂a(ρna)=0 and na∂anb=0 hold, and [F1] gives conservation, with the inertial-flow statement on {ρ0>0}; a compactly supported nonnegative transverse profile gives the same exact solution and the same finite-box constancy. The profile is independent of x1, so a nonzero profile is not compactly supported in all three spatial variables; the flow lines are x1=βx0+const, x2,x3 constant.

2.1F2step 1.1

Finite slice integrals are constant. Let Kˉ=[c1,d1]×[c2,d2]×[c3,d3] with ci<di and Qb(s)=∫KˉT0b(s,x) d3x. Since T0b=ρ n0nb=γnbρ0(x2,x3) is independent of x0, each Qb(s) is constant in s. The same conclusion follows from [F2]: the force density vanishes by step 1.1, the transverse face terms vanish because T2b=T3b=0, and the two x1-faces carry the same pointwise integrand T1b=ρ0γβnb and enter with opposite signs, so their contributions cancel although the individual face flux need not vanish.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1step 1.2∎

The example exhibits a family of exact conserved dust solutions of the stated form with transverse profile and finite-box constancy of the slice integrals; it asserts no interaction, no dynamics of the profile beyond the displayed equations and no measurement.
