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.
Tetrad invariance of the future massive mass-shell measure
Statement
Let be an event of a time-oriented smooth Lorentzian four-manifold, let , and let and be any two smooth future orthonormal tetrads near . The measures and defined in Canonical future massive mass-shell measure agree on every Borel subset of the future massive shell at . Hence the fiber measure is independent of the chosen future orthonormal tetrad.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A future massive shell in one tangent space, mass energy , two future orthonormal tetrads, and the countable-choice assumption carried by the cited change-of-variables supplier.
In tetrad coordinates the shell is , , and its measure is (Canonical future massive mass-shell measure).
If , the basis-change theorem gives and . Its inverse , which sends the first tetrad's component list to the second's, is also Lorentz and maps the chosen future timelike component and its massive shell onto themselves: maps the component into itself, and as an invertible linear map it maps that connected component onto the component containing , which is the future one; the inverse has the same property. Taking determinants in gives (The change between two future-directed tetrads is a Lorentz matrix, Time orientation, future and past timelike/null/causal vectors, and the closed cones, The timelike set has exactly two convex components, described in orthonormal coordinates).
If is a diffeomorphism, then for every nonnegative Borel , , assuming (Borel change of variables from the compact-support formula and Radon uniqueness, The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Proof
Write in the first tetrad and let be the spatial coordinates of the same future-shell vector in the second tetrad. The tetrad change maps the entire future shell bijectively to itself; the spatial coordinate and its inverse are smooth, so is a global diffeomorphism of . Form the matrix . Block elimination gives .
The chain rule on the shell gives . Taking absolute determinants and using [F2] and step 1.1 yields
For any Borel on the shell, apply [F3] to the nonnegative Borel function . Then where the first equality uses the common geometric vector and the second uses step 2.1. This is equality of positive Borel measures, completing the proof.
