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.

Real parts of e−iωt phasors: calculus, injectivity and equivalence with the real Helmholtz-Maxwell system

Statement

Let D⊆R3 be open, c>0 and ω>0, and let E~,B~:D→C3. Define E,B:D×R→R3 by E(x,t):=Re⁡(E~(x)e−iωt) and B(x,t):=Re⁡(B~(x)e−iωt) componentwise (The complex exponential by its power series, Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus; Ck Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms for the classes). Then: (a) [Calculus] if E~,B~ are C1, then E,B are C1 and at every (x,t)∈D×R: ∂tE(x,t)=Re⁡(−iωE~(x)e−iωt), and likewise for B; for each j∈{1,2,3}, ∂jE(x,t)=Re⁡(∂jE~(x)e−iωt), and likewise for B; and with the divergence and curl of Divergence and curl of a C1 vector field acting on the spatial variable, div⁡E(x,t)=Re⁡((div⁡E~)(x)e−iωt), curl⁡E(x,t)=Re⁡((curl⁡E~)(x)e−iωt), and likewise for B. (b) [Injectivity] if w∈C3 and Re⁡(we−iωt)=0 for all t∈R, then w=0; more generally, if w:D→C3 is continuous and Re⁡(w(x)e−iωt)=0 for all (x,t)∈D×R, then w≡0 on D. (c) [Equivalence] if E~,B~ are C1, the phasor system div⁡E~=0,div⁡B~=0,curl⁡E~=iωB~,curl⁡B~=−iωc−2E~ holds on D if and only if the real system div⁡E=0,div⁡B=0,curl⁡E=−∂tB,curl⁡B=c−2∂tE holds on D×R.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An open set D⊆R3, reals c>0 and ω>0, complex fields E~,B~:D→C3, and the associated real fields E,B:D×R→R3 of the Statement. Components are indexed by k,j∈{1,2,3}.

[F1]

Complex exponential and Euler form: exp⁡ is entire with exp⁡′=exp⁡; for real θ one has eiθ=cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ, so e−iωt=cos⁡ωt−isin⁡ωt and e−iπ/2=cos⁡(π/2)−isin⁡(π/2)=−i; sin⁡′=cos⁡ and cos⁡′=−sin⁡ on R (The complex exponential by its power series, The complex exponential is entire and its complex derivative is itself, exp⁡(x+iy)=ex(cos⁡y+isin⁡y), ∣exp⁡(x+iy)∣=ex, and eiπ+1=0, The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi).

[F2]

Real and imaginary parts: Re⁡(a+bi)=a, Im⁡(a+bi)=b; Re⁡ and Im⁡ are R-linear; (a+bi)(s+ti)=(as−bt)+(at+bs)i; in particular Re⁡((a+bi)(c−is))=ac+bs and Re⁡(−iω(a+bi)(c−is))=ωbc−ωas for real a,b,ω,c,s (Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus, The complex numbers as R[x]/(x2+1), with the real embedding and imaginary unit i).

[F3]

Complex differentiability and real differentiability: complex differentiability at a point is equivalent to real total differentiability there with the derivative given by multiplication by the complex derivative; hence exp⁡ is real totally differentiable everywhere with real derivative the multiplication map h↦ezh, and the chain rule for total derivatives applies to real-differentiable compositions (Complex differentiability is equivalent to real total differentiability together with a complex-linear derivative, with ∂zˉf=0, or with the Cauchy–Riemann equations, The complex exponential is entire and its complex derivative is itself, The chain rule for total derivatives: D(g∘f)(a)=Dg(f(a))∘Df(a)).

[F4]

One-variable and componentwise rules: sums, scalar multiples and products of differentiable real functions are differentiable with the usual derivatives (Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: (f+g)′(c)=f′(c)+g′(c), (αf)′(c)=αf′(c), (fg)′(c)=f′(c)g(c)+f(c)g′(c), and (f/g)′(c)=(f′(c)g(c)−f(c)g′(c))/g(c)2 when g(c)≠0); partial derivatives are coordinate-line directional derivatives, so ∂jg(x) is the derivative at 0 of h↦g(x+hej) (Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map U⊆Rm→Rn); a map U→Rq on an open U is Ck when every component's iterated partials up to order k exist and are continuous, and a complex field is C1 exactly when its six real coordinate maps Re⁡E~k,Im⁡E~k are C1, with complex partials ∂jE~k=∂j(Re⁡E~k)+i ∂j(Im⁡E~k) (Ck Euclidean maps and diffeomorphisms).

[F5]

The divergence of a C1 real field F on open U⊆Rn is div⁡F=∑k∂kFk, and the curl on U⊆R3 is curl⁡F=(∂yFz−∂zFy, ∂zFx−∂xFz, ∂xFy−∂yFx); both are linear in F with real scalars, and on complex fields both are applied componentwise to real and imaginary parts (Divergence and curl of a C1 vector field, Divergence and curl are linear and satisfy the scalar product rules).

[F6]

Continuity toolkit: continuity is the metric notion of Continuity of a map between metric spaces, at a point and globally, in the ε-δ form, and on Rm the Euclidean topology agrees with the product-of-R topology (For n≥1 the product topology on n copies of the usual topology of R is the metric topology of d∞ on Rn, and hence also of d1 and d2, so Rn as a product and Rn as a metric space are one space); projections from a product are continuous and a map into a product is continuous exactly when all its components are (A map into a product is continuous iff each of its components is; the projections are continuous and open; and each projection is surjective when every factor is nonempty, which for an infinite index set uses the Axiom of Choice); finite sums, products, maxima, minima and quotients of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous (Sums, products, absolute values, finite maxima and minima, and quotients of continuous real-valued maps on a topological space are continuous where defined); and a function differentiable at a point of its domain is continuous there (A function differentiable at c is continuous at c). For the pullbacks used here, fix (x∗,t∗). The Euclidean product distance bounds both ∣x−x∗∣ and ∣t−t∗∣; choosing the δ from continuity of g:D→R at x∗ or of h:R→R at t∗ therefore proves directly that (x,t)↦g(x) and (x,t)↦h(t) are continuous. Finite sums and products of these pullbacks are continuous by the cited algebra lemma.

Proof

technique · direct; expand the encoding in real components, differentiate along the time and coordinate directions with the one-variable rules, read the divergence and curl off the componentwise formulas, and obtain the equivalence from the injectivity of the real-part evaluation proved at the two phases $t=0$ and $t=\pi/(2\omega)$

[Encoding] For clauses (a) and (c), assume the stated C1 hypotheses. For every k and every (x,t)∈D×R, [F1] and [F2] give Ek(x,t)=Re⁡(E~k(x)e−iωt)=(Re⁡E~k(x))cos⁡ωt+(Im⁡E~k(x))sin⁡ωt, and the same display with B~k in place of E~k gives Bk(x,t); moreover, since E~ and B~ are C1, their six real coordinate maps and all first partials are continuous on D and the complex partials are ∂jE~k=∂j(Re⁡E~k)+i ∂j(Im⁡E~k), by [F4].

1.2givenF1F2

[Injectivity] Let w∈C3 satisfy Re⁡(we−iωt)=0 for every real t. At t=0, [F1] gives e0=1, so Re⁡w=0; at t=π/(2ω) one has e−iπ/2=−i by [F1], so 0=Re⁡(−iw)=Im⁡w by [F2]; hence w=Re⁡w+iIm⁡w=0. If w:D→C3 satisfies Re⁡(w(x)e−iωt)=0 for all (x,t), applying the preceding conclusion at each fixed x∈D gives w(x)=0 for every x, so w≡0; no continuity of w is needed for this conclusion.

[Time derivative] Fix x and k. The map t↦E~k(x)e−iωt is the composition of the real-linear map t↦−iωt (which is differentiable on R with derivative −iω and real-linear, so totally differentiable with that derivative) with exp⁡, which is real totally differentiable everywhere with derivative the multiplication h↦ezh by [F3], followed by multiplication by the constant E~k(x); the chain and product rules of [F3], [F4] give derivative −iωE~k(x)e−iωt. Taking real parts by [F2] and inserting the display of step 1.1, ∂tEk(x,t)=Re⁡(−iωE~k(x)e−iωt)=ω(Im⁡E~k(x))cos⁡ωt−ω(Re⁡E~k(x))sin⁡ωt for every (x,t); the same computation with B~ gives ∂tBk(x,t)=Re⁡(−iωB~k(x)e−iωt).

[Spatial derivatives] Fix (x,t) and indices j,k. The map h↦Ek(x+hej,t) equals h↦Re⁡(E~k(x+hej)) times cos⁡ωt plus h↦Im⁡(E~k(x+hej)) times sin⁡ωt on a neighbourhood of 0 small enough that x+hej∈D, by step 1.1. By [F4] the coordinate-line maps h↦Re⁡E~k(x+hej) and h↦Im⁡E~k(x+hej) are differentiable at h=0 with derivatives ∂jRe⁡E~k(x) and ∂jIm⁡E~k(x), so the sum, scalar-multiple and product rules of [F4] give ∂jEk(x,t)=(∂jRe⁡E~k(x))cos⁡ωt+(∂jIm⁡E~k(x))sin⁡ωt, which by [F2] and step 1.1 equals Re⁡((∂jE~k)(x)e−iωt); the same computation with B~ gives ∂jBk(x,t)=Re⁡((∂jB~k)(x)e−iωt).

3.1step 2.2F2F4F5

[Divergence and curl] By [F4] the divergence and curl act componentwise on real and imaginary parts of complex fields; hence, summing step 2.2 over k and using R-linearity of Re⁡ [F2], div⁡E(x,t)=∑k∂kEk=Re⁡((div⁡E~)(x)e−iωt), and for the third curl coordinate, in the naming of [F5], the alternating sum of the displayed partials and [F2] give (curl⁡E)z(x,t)=∂xEy−∂yEx=Re⁡((∂xE~y−∂yE~x)(x)e−iωt)=Re⁡((curl⁡E~)z(x)e−iωt), the other two coordinates being identical by cyclic relabelling of the indices; the linearity of [F5] organizes these componentwise identities into the displayed formulas, and the same argument with B~ gives those for B.

[Regularity] Each of the displayed first partials of E and of B in steps 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1 is a finite sum of products of the maps (x,t)↦g(x) for g among Re⁡E~k,Im⁡E~k,∂jRe⁡E~k,∂jIm⁡E~k (and the B~ analogues), each continuous on D×R by [F6] since its one-variable factor is continuous on D by [F4], together with the maps (x,t)↦cos⁡ωt and (x,t)↦sin⁡ωt, continuous on D×R by [F1], [F6]; the fields Ek,Bk themselves are of the same form by step 1.1. By the sum-and-product clause of [F6], all these functions are continuous on D×R; hence every first partial of E and B exists and is continuous there, so E and B are C1 by [F4], with the partials displayed in steps 2.1, 2.2 and 3.1. This proves (a).

[(i) implies (ii)] Assume the phasor system of (c) holds on D. Then for every (x,t): div⁡E=Re⁡((div⁡E~)e−iωt)=0 and div⁡B=0 by step 3.1 and div⁡E~=div⁡B~=0; curl⁡E=Re⁡((curl⁡E~)e−iωt)=Re⁡(iωB~e−iωt)=−∂tB by steps 3.1, 2.1 and curl⁡E~=iωB~; and curl⁡B=Re⁡((curl⁡B~)e−iωt)=Re⁡(−iωc−2E~e−iωt)=c−2∂tE by steps 3.1, 2.1 and curl⁡B~=−iωc−2E~. Hence the real system holds on D×R.

[(ii) implies (i)] Assume the real system of (c) holds on D×R. The fields u:=div⁡E~, v:=div⁡B~, w:=curl⁡E~−iωB~ and z:=curl⁡B~+iωc−2E~ are continuous maps on D, with u,v scalar-valued and w,z valued in C3 by step 1.1 and [F4], [F5], and steps 2.1 and 3.1 give Re⁡(u(x)e−iωt)=div⁡E=0, Re⁡(v(x)e−iωt)=div⁡B=0, Re⁡(w(x)e−iωt)=curl⁡E+∂tB=0 and Re⁡(z(x)e−iωt)=curl⁡B−c−2∂tE=0 for all (x,t); the two-phase calculation of step 1.2, also valid for a single complex scalar, then forces u=v=w=z=0 on D, which is exactly the phasor system.

[Conclusion] Steps 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 4.1 prove the calculus and C1 clauses of (a); step 1.2 proves the injectivity clause (b); steps 4.2 and 4.3 prove both directions of the equivalence (c). All assertions are pointwise identities on the open domain D×R, no existence theory for partial differential equations, no boundary condition and no choice principle are used, and the argument rests only on the cited complex, real-analysis and topological continuity suppliers.

Remarks

  • The two evaluation points t=0 and t=π/(2ω) are the whole content of injectivity; no integration or orthogonality argument is needed, and the field version of (b) does not use the continuity hypothesis, which is recorded only because the Statement carries it.
  • The equivalence (c) concerns the four source-free equations only. It says nothing about boundary conditions, energy, uniqueness of solutions or existence; those belong to the consuming items.
  • The proof uses no choice principle: all steps are pointwise computations with explicit finite data, and the continuity conclusion only composes explicitly given continuous maps.
