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.

Worked rigid rotation: rest-space holonomy around the ring and failure of ring synchronization

Example

Fix R>0 and let Ω satisfy ΩR=3c/5, so that γ=(1−9/25)−1/2=5/4 and c2−Ω2R2=(16/25)c2. In the inertial chart the ring observer at angular position ϕ=ϕ0+Ωt (chart time t) has unit tangent

n=γ(1,−35sin⁡ϕ,35cos⁡ϕ,0)=54(1,−35sin⁡ϕ,35cos⁡ϕ,0),

which is future unit because γ2(−1+925)=−2516⋅1625=−1. Writing the cylinder r=R in the rotating angular coordinate φ:=ϕ−Ωt, so that the point has inertial coordinates (ct,Rcos⁡(φ+Ωt),Rsin⁡(φ+Ωt)), the induced metric is

g=−(c2−Ω2R2)dt2+2ΩR2 dt dφ+R2 dφ2=−1625c2dt2+65cR dt dφ+R2dφ2.

The rest-space covector of n restricted to the cylinder is proportional to −(c2−Ω2R2)dt+ΩR2dφ=−1625c2dt+35cR dφ, so a curve tangent to the rest spaces satisfies dt/dφ=ΩR2/(c2−Ω2R2)=15R/(16c); integrating over one turn φ∈[0,2π] gives the nonzero chart-time offset

Δt=2πΩR2c2−Ω2R2=15πR8c≠0.

Hence the curve tangent to the rest spaces starting at the observer returns to the same rotating label at a strictly later chart time: the rest simultaneity of the rotating congruence does not close up around the ring, and no globally single-valued real rest-synchronization time with time-oriented nonzero differential exists on the whole cylinder. The ambient congruence extends to the smooth future unit rotating field n=γ(r)[∂0+(Ω/c)(−x2∂1+x1∂2)] on r<c/∣Ω∣, which is Born rigid, and the three-dimensional ambient rest distribution is nowhere integrable because its Frobenius form is nonzero; the one-dimensional rest distribution on the cylinder is locally integrable, so its nonzero global holonomy checked above is a different obstruction. This preserves the distinction between ambient local nonintegrability and global ring synchronization failure.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An inertial chart (x0=x0,x1,x2,x3) of the affine Minkowski model with η=diag⁡(−1,1,1,1) (Inertial frames and inertial charts of the affine Minkowski model, Oriented time-oriented affine Minkowski space (the spacetime primitives)), real Ω and R>0 with ΩR=3c/5, the ambient rotating field n and the ring of the Example (Fermi-Walker transport preserves the metric, and explicit rigid and non-rigid observer congruences clause (c)).

[L1]

Supplier clause (c): on the open region r2=(x1)2+(x2)2<c2/Ω2 the field K=∂0+(Ω/c)(−x2∂1+x1∂2) satisfies η(K,K)=−1+Ω2r2/c2, the field n=γ(r)K with γ(r)=(1−Ω2r2/c2)−1/2 is a smooth future unit timelike Born-rigid congruence; κ:=η(K,⋅)=(−1,−(Ω/c)x2,(Ω/c)x1,0) has dκ=2(Ω/c)dx1∧dx2 and κ∧dκ=−2(Ω/c)dx0∧dx1∧dx2, so n♭∧d(n♭)≠0 when Ω≠0; on the cylinder r=R, x3=const with rotating angle φ, the ring observer ϕ=ϕ0+Ωt has n=γ(R)(1,−(ΩR/c)sin⁡ϕ,(ΩR/c)cos⁡ϕ,0), the induced metric is −(c2−Ω2R2)dt2+2ΩR2dtdφ+R2dφ2, the ambient rest covector restricted to the cylinder is proportional to −(c2−Ω2R2)dt+ΩR2dφ, the rest lines satisfy dt/dφ=ΩR2/(c2−Ω2R2), the one-turn offset is 2πΩR2/(c2−Ω2R2), and no globally single-valued real rest-synchronization time on the cylinder exists when Ω≠0 (Fermi-Walker transport preserves the metric, and explicit rigid and non-rigid observer congruences clause (c), Kinematics of an observer congruence: acceleration, expansion, shear, vorticity and Born rigidity).

[L2]

Frobenius criterion: for a smooth nowhere-zero one-form α on an open set, the rest distribution ker⁡α is integrable if and only if α∧dα=0; for the rest form α=n♭ this holds if and only if the vorticity vanishes, ω=0 (Local flow boxes, adapted charts and the Frobenius criterion for rest distributions clauses (ii),(iii)(b)).

[L3]

A future timelike unit vector field is a congruence, and a vector of the inertial chart with components (u0,u1,u2,u3) has η(u,u)=−(u0)2+(u1)2+(u2)2+(u3)2 (Kinematics of an observer congruence: acceleration, expansion, shear, vorticity and Born rigidity, Inertial frames and inertial charts of the affine Minkowski model, Timelike, null, spacelike and causal vectors of a Lorentz vector space).

[L4]

Sine and cosine are the everywhere-convergent power series of Sine and cosine defined by their real power series, with derivatives cos⁡ and −sin⁡ (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine), Pythagorean identity sin⁡2ϕ+cos⁡2ϕ=1 (Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine), and period 2π (The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi); the resulting angular parametrization modulo 2π is the unit circle (t↦(cos⁡t,sin⁡t) is a bijection from [0,2π) onto the real unit circle).

Numerical data: ΩR=3c/5 gives Ω2R2=9c2/25, hence c2−Ω2R2=16c2/25, 2ΩR2=2(ΩR)R=6cR/5, ΩR2/(c2−Ω2R2)=(3cR/5)/(16c2/25)=15R/(16c) and γ(R)=(1−9/25)−1/2=5/4; the ring field is n=γ(R)(1,−(3/5)sin⁡ϕ,(3/5)cos⁡ϕ,0)=54(1,−35sin⁡ϕ,35cos⁡ϕ,0).

Future unit property: by [L3], η(n,n)=2516(−1+925(sin⁡2ϕ+cos⁡2ϕ))=2516(−1+925)=−2516⋅1625=−1, and the time component 54>0 makes n future; this verifies the formula of the Example.

Cylinder metric and rest covector: substituting ϕ=φ+Ωt, hence dϕ=dφ+Ω dt, into −c2dt2+R2dϕ2 (the transverse coordinates being fixed) gives −(c2−Ω2R2)dt2+2ΩR2dtdφ+R2dφ2; with the values of step 1.1 this is −1625c2dt2+65cR dtdφ+R2dφ2. The covector κ of [L1] restricts as −c dt+(ΩR2/c)dϕ=−c dt+(ΩR2/c)(dφ+Ωdt)=−c2−Ω2R2cdt+ΩR2cdφ, so n♭=γ(R)κ is proportional to −(c2−Ω2R2)dt+ΩR2dφ=−1625c2dt+35cR dφ; solving the kernel condition −(c2−Ω2R2)t˙+ΩR2φ˙=0 gives dt/dφ=ΩR2/(c2−Ω2R2)=15R16c.

One-turn holonomy: along the rest lines of step 2.2 the chart time changes by Δt=∫02π15R16c dφ=15πR8c, which is nonzero; hence the rest line starting at φ=0 returns to the same rotating label φ=2π at the chart time Δt>0, and it is not closed as a curve of simultaneity. The no-global-synchronization conclusion of [L1] applies to these ring rest lines with their nonzero time-oriented slope; its proof tests a real synchronization function on a closed angular lift and uses the nonzero fixed-sign angular derivative to contradict periodicity. Thus no such global synchronization time exists.

Ambient nonintegrability: for Ω≠0 the Frobenius form of the ambient congruence is n♭∧d(n♭)=γ2κ∧dκ=−2γ2(Ω/c)dx0∧dx1∧dx2, which is nonzero at every point of the region r<c/∣Ω∣; by [L2] the three-dimensional ambient rest distribution is nowhere integrable, so no local ambient rest-simultaneity hypersurface exists there. On the cylinder the rest distribution is one-dimensional: it is locally integrable because any nowhere-zero vector field has local flow-box coordinates, and its global nontrivial holonomy is the distinct obstruction computed in step 3.1, not an instance of the ambient pointwise nonintegrability. Both the ambient congruence and the ring congruence are Born rigid by [L1].

Conclusion: steps 1.1-2.1 verify the future unit ring field; step 2.2 computes the induced cylinder metric, the rest covector and the slope dt/dφ=15R/(16c); step 3.1 computes the exact nonzero holonomy Δt=15πR/(8c) and the failure of global ring synchronization; and step 4.1 exhibits the ambient nonintegrability of the three-dimensional rest distribution. The example therefore realizes the distinction, promised by [L1], between a locally integrable one-dimensional ring distribution with nonzero global holonomy and a nowhere-integrable ambient distribution.

Remarks

  • Why the numbers are exact. The choice ΩR=3c/5 makes γ=5/4 and c2−Ω2R2=(16/25)c2, so the slope is exactly 15R/(16c) and the one-turn offset is exactly 15πR/(8c). The ambient Frobenius three-form is exactly −2γ(r)2(Ω/c) dx0∧dx1∧dx2, as computed in step 4.1; no approximation enters.

  • Two distinct obstructions. The ambient three-dimensional rest distribution is nowhere integrable for Ω≠0 (nowhere-zero vorticity by [L2]); the one-dimensional distribution on the ring cylinder is locally integrable but has nonzero holonomy around the ring. The second is not a consequence of the first, and no locally defined synchronization function on the cylinder can be single-valued around the ring.
