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.
Gauss multiplier and smooth periodic Coulomb solver
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and the conventions of Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions. Let be a nonempty open time interval, with measured in seconds and , and let be the flat spatial torus with period metres and periodic coordinates . Take jointly smooth periodic maps Write for the time partial derivative at fixed , and . All spatial differential operators below are the periodic coordinate derivatives, and each displayed spatial integral and Hamiltonian is evaluated at a fixed ; the time argument is suppressed in the formulas. In SI units, has unit , has unit , has unit , and has unit . Thus and both have unit , and every term of the formal classical Lagrangian density has unit . Let have unit , let be the symbolic magnetic constant with unit , and put with unit ; no numerical value for these constants is adopted. Define the formal classical density The canonical momenta are , with unit , and . Periodic integration by parts gives the fixed-time Hamiltonian Variation of the multiplier imposes . In Coulomb gauge , this becomes . At each fixed , a smooth periodic solution can exist only if . If for every , there is a unique jointly smooth periodic solution with zero spatial mean, whose Fourier coefficients are For every it satisfies This is a classical conditional solver for smooth periodic neutral data; it makes no claim about quantum density products or nonperiodic boundary conditions.

Proof
Given: [A1], [F1], [A2], the smooth periodic data, and periodic boundary conditions.
Since the displayed density contains no , its canonical momentum is . Differentiating with respect to gives . The Legendre expression equals The periodic boundary has no surface term, and integrating gives . This yields the displayed ; varying the scalar multiplier gives the Gauss constraint. If , then , so the constraint is .
Integrating this equation over the periodic box at any fixed gives , since each periodic first derivative has equal boundary values on opposite faces. Thus neutrality is necessary at each time. For neutral data, fix a compact interval and integers . Differentiating the Fourier coefficient under the integral gives . For , repeated periodic integration by parts times in a coordinate with gives uniformly for ; boundedness of the finitely many low modes is absorbed in the constant. Since for , a mixed derivative of its Fourier series is bounded termwise on by a constant times . Taking makes this series absolutely and uniformly summable over . Thus every mixed derivative series converges uniformly on compact time intervals, and the Fourier construction is jointly smooth.
Under Countable Choice [A2], apply [F1] after rescaling : the characters form a complete basis for . The coefficient formula then gives for and the zero mode is zero. Step 1.2 permits termwise differentiation in space and time to every order, so the resulting real jointly smooth periodic solves at every . Reality follows from .
At any fixed , if two zero-mean solutions existed, their difference would be smooth, periodic, satisfy , and have . Periodic integration by parts in each Fourier coefficient gives ; since , every nonzero-mode coefficient vanishes, and the zero-mode coefficient vanishes by the zero-mean condition. Completeness of the Fourier basis [F1] therefore gives in , hence everywhere by continuity. Parseval applied to and to yields Substituting the coefficients from step 2.1 proves the displayed positive-energy identity.
