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.
Off-Shell Linear-Dilaton Frame-Density Check
A local off-shell algebraic check of the NS–NS action density in two frames for a smooth linear dilaton on flat string-frame spacetime. It is not a solution, a background-existence claim, an integrated-action claim, or empirical evidence.
Statement
On with coordinates of length dimension, let , let , and let for a fixed nonzero constant of dimension length. These smooth fields are an off-shell configuration of the adopted local NS–NS model. The string-frame and Einstein-frame Lagrangian densities, each including the common factor and expressed relative to , agree pointwise and equal The configuration is not stationary because its string-frame dilaton Euler coefficient is . No integrated action is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The flat string-frame metric, linear dilaton, vanishing two-form, and nonzero constant of the Statement.
Coordinates have length dimension, metric components and are dimensionless, and the curvature and wave-operator conventions are fixed as in the convention item (Supergravity Conventions And Normalizations).
The adopted string-frame density is (Ten Dimensional NS NS Supergravity Action).
For in ten dimensions, the Einstein-frame density inside is (String Einstein Frame NS Action Calculation).
The scalar-curvature transformation under is the general -dimensional identity of Scalar Curvature Under Conformal Rescaling.
A stationary configuration of the adopted action satisfies (Ten Dimensional NS NS Field Equations).
Proof
In the string frame , , , and , because is constant, , and is the only nonzero derivative. Hence [A1] gives the string-frame density . Its dimension is length: has dimension length and has dimension length, as required for a density relative to .
Set with . Since , , and , [F3] at gives . The inverse metric and determinant scale as and .
Therefore . By [F2], . Only contributes; , whose -derivative is . Dividing by gives .
With , substituting the three quantities into [F2] gives . Multiplying by and gives the Einstein-frame density , exactly the string-frame value in step 1.1. The divergence term is included in this comparison.
In the string frame , , , and , so . By [F4], the configuration fails the dilaton stationarity equation and is therefore off shell, as claimed.
