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.
Schwarzschild supported thermal bath
Static test bath on the Schwarzschild exterior r>r_s, with asymptotic Killing-time normalization, exact lapse and acceleration, and a bounded weak-field expansion; no horizon or quantum-temperature claim.
Example
Let be a source mass in kilograms, distinct from any kinetic particle mass, let be Newton's constant in , and let be the speed of light in . Set
In physical length coordinates , use the Schwarzschild exterior metric
and select with the asymptotic normalization as . The time orientation is chosen so is future-directed. Under the selected stationary-bath assumption, the local proper temperature satisfies
The static observer congruence has outward covariant acceleration component , contravariant component , and physical proper-acceleration magnitude
For a fixed and , the weak-field expansion has the explicit bound
This is a conditional calculation in the specified exterior model. At , the chosen Killing field is null and the normalized stationary observers do not exist. The limiting divergence as is not a constructed horizon state, a Hawking temperature, or a claim that every observer measures an infinite temperature.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Schwarzschild exterior metric and constants above, the chosen future Killing field , and the selected stationary thermal-bath assumption on .
Conditional Tolman–Ehrenfest relation: for one selected connected stationary bath with smooth future timelike Killing field , positive proper temperature , and Killing , the constant satisfies and . Its draft proof is conditional and its current Step 1 record is authoring readiness only.
, , and have the stated SI units; the metric is taken as the model geometry on , and the time orientation makes future-directed there.
This example adopts the selected bath only on the connected exterior, with the chosen asymptotic normalization. No matter equation of state, support apparatus, experiment, or state construction is assumed.
Verification
The metric coefficients are independent of , so is Killing. Its norm is , and exactly on . Therefore it is future timelike on this domain and .
The connected exterior, smooth positive lapse, selected stationary bath, and Killing inverse-temperature field meet [F1]. Hence throughout the exterior, so . Since as , write this reference constant as .
From in [F1], . Raising the index with gives , and then , so .
Put . For , Taylor's theorem at for gives for some , and . Thus the remainder is at most . Since , this proves the displayed bound.
